Default Armored Land Cruiser *Slight 56K Warning*



Seems pretty neat. 47,000 Kuwaiti Dinars (KD) is equalivant to approximately US$160,000.

Toyota Trojan has a nice ring to it. I wonder if they know the Trojans actually lost the war? Should have called it the Toyota Greek. Better stop here, this is getting way too sexual for a car forum.

Thats the one that they use in Iraq to transport US heads. One of the convoys was ambushed and it actually held its ground under Heavy mortar and automatic weapon fire.

I like the 'Shogun' style flag pole. I wonder if the bodyguards would commit seppuku if the VIP happen to be killed.
