How About Driving a Kia? Empty How About Driving a Kia?

Now before you think that I have lost my mind, consider this:

DuPont's armored car kit a huge hit in Brazil
The kit costs about $12,000, weighs roughly 200 pounds and takes 15 days to install
:

"NEW YORK — Would you bulletproof a Kia? If you live in Brazil, the answer could very well be yes - to guard against robbers at stop signs in Sao Paulo or traffic jams in Brasilia.

Armor plating isn't just for aristocrats anymore as the world's seventh-largest economy grapples with high rates of kidnapping, murder and robbery.

DuPont, widely known as a chemical maker, introduced its bulletproof Kevlar fiber and SentryGlas car kit Armura in 2008 to middle class Brazilian families with Chevrolets, Hondas and yes, even low-cost Kias...............

"Armura's success in Brazil has exceeded DuPont's expectations, so the company is planning to bring the kit to at least two other countries, but it would not name them." Any bets that Mexico might be one of them?
