I am not sure if I want to pay $127,000 (plus shipping) for an armored version of the LS430; we're talking roughly double the price of an '04 base LS430

Interesting to know that something like this exists out there. Reminds me of the BMW 740iL or Mercedes S-class w/ Protection packages.

Cool! Let me know when you get. Stop by and we'll test it. Wonder if you could send it back if it doesn't do what it says it does. Hard to image it will hold up, especially the galss at point blank range. May be .357 won't do, but the 3006 rifle bullet will go in one side and come out the other. I've seen it go through a rail, which is about 1" thick, and still be intact. Actually, it looked like it went through butter. So, I doubt there is a point in paying $127K plus shipping for this car. It's a joke man. Get a tank instead if you are worried about being shot with a small caliber weapons.

You can always find butcher to kill any bull.

These cars protect you from fools not professionals.

in ballistics chart it said it takes 5 shots from 30-06, i'm assuming to the same spot, to drill through
and that aint no cap gun, so it's gotta be strong to take that

but yeah, tank would be much safer LOL
and you pick up more girls with the "size of that weapon"
