If you are aware of international news, not be surprised and delighted when a few years ago, Mexican President Felipe Calderon said the war against drug cartels in the country. As time progressed, and an increase in killings and reprisals by the cartel under siege for the rest of the world, your satisfaction is likely to be turned to horror.

And every year the death toll rises
Of course it is a drop in the ocean compared to other conflicts now worldwide, but Mexico is much closer to home and it is not hard to imagine a campaign spreads to our door. In any case, it was a nightmare for many Mexican citizens, particularly those high profile or have a lot to lose. So it's no surprise that the armored vehicles has become big business in recent years.

There are a number of government-approved facility that is currently in Mexico, offering bulletproof car. His services are not cheap (starting around $ 16.000 to 75.000 per car), but they have more possibilities for customization. Bulletproof can mean different things to different people.
Mexico military officers on guard
Maybe they're worried about this assault with a weapon. Or maybe they are concerned about automatic weapons. They may even fear an all-out attack on a military aircraft guns. In any case, there is a degree of protection available. But it will require the vehicle to the frame completely stripped and rebuilt with plates of ballistic steel, Kevlar, bulletproof glass, which can be up to three inches thick.

Not only that, but cars can go through further changes in suspension, and even upgrade the engine to work with extra weight. Unfortunately, users do not buy SmarTruck style repair (shops will not install remote-controlled .50 caliber machine guns and RPGs, so the U.S. Border Patrol vehicles with offensive capabilities in the supply of defense), and the car won 't have a spy tools are always popular, such as oil, poison darts, or laser technology. But suppliers of protective vehicles are ready for a spray deterrent system, adding that noxious cloud of tear gas pumps of the wheel arches of vehicles and deter potential attackers. As a bonus. The engineers of these stores take pride in their ability to camouflage an upgrade, so the car rolls off the store looks the same as in the vehicle, regardless of the amplification
The mean streets of Mexico
While the majority of vehicles in a bullet-proof layer on top of the car (it is especially luxury cars make their way into safety upgrades), a few people got a good choice to buy and improve the older, pensioner of the car (I believe a family sedan), but not flashy SUVs, trying to avoid raising interest in the first place (although it is likely the protection they need in a car to have) . Unfortunately it's probably worse in Mexico, before it gets better is the year 2010 looks even bloodier than in previous years, but thanks to the efforts of services to improve people with a little extra dough and security interests have an ace in the sleeve in the form of city driving.
