"Makes a Hummer look like a chick car"

[TehBorken]

    It can stop a bullet from an AK-47, shrug off a roadside bomb, and it makes a Hummer look like a chick car.

    The $200,000 (U.S.) Gurkha is coming to a road near you — thanks to a King City-based company that is finding itself in demand because of the global war on terror.

Ugly as sin but I gotta admit it also manages to look pretty friggin cool at the same time. I'd drive one but I don't feel like spending 200 thousand bucks on a car.

i dont know if i would buy one even if it was 50k. how many road side bombs do i plan to encounter driving in this city? i would have to say hopefully none. if this company wants to make some money, they should sell to the military or mobsters.

Yep. A friend of mine in LA says it would be a good car to have down there. (He's a tailgunner on a bread truck.)

Oh God this will be the next big thing. Just watch GM will say its buying the company and turning them into civilian vehicles just like they did with the Hummer. I bet the [A href="http://www.lynchhummer.com/"]'biggest Hummer dealership in the world'[/A] is salivating for a civilian urban assualt vehicle like that.
