[Lead-in] 1. Well, attacks inside Baghdad may not be quite common today as happened in the past, but they certainly still happen. Michael Holmes reports a number of companies are now offering customers a reasonably secure, although pricey way of getting from one side of Baghdad to the other.
[Story] 2. In the chaos that is traffic in Baghdad, they're mixed in with the clunkers, the buses, and the vans, armored cars. Diplomats use them, politicians, security outfits, the media, even a few well-heeled locals.
3. Driving around Baghdad, or anywhere else in Iraq for that matter, is, of course, still a very risky business. There¡¯s a threat of bombs, gunmen, kidnap. Armored cars are very much the norm for Westerners and others. You really wouldn't leave home without one.
4. There are half a dozen armored car shops in Baghdad¡¯s fortified Green Zone, sales, rentals and repairs all doing rather well, some open 24/7.
[Allan Gilruth / Armored Car Shop Manager] ¡°The business has grown rapidly. We are expanding on a constant basis.¡±
Alan Gilruth manages one of those businesses, GW Fixit. It's fair to say he's seen it all.
¡°We do repairs all the time where the vehicles are absolutely destroyed but nothing has penetrated the armor."
5. To many, these larger vehicles seen here in a security company video stand out too much. Many prefer to go "low profile" cars that look like a regular sedan - or so-called "soft skin" car. Except they have that something extra, potentially life-saving amor.
6. If you wanted to buy an armored car, peace of mind doesn't come cheap. A vehicle that costs maybe 40,000 dollars in the U.S. will run you over 100,000 when armor is added. Buy one brand new, purpose built, and you can spend well over a quarter of a million dollars. If that¡¯s a bit stiff, guys like Allan will supply you a rental on steroids. How's 500 dollars a day? A bargain, actually - some places charge upwards of 750 a day.
7. Few locals can afford one, of course, but there is an economic upside for some - jobs. All the workers here are Iraqi, feeding their families with well-paying jobs in a city where unemployment is rampant. One thing to remember if you're in the market to rent. No insurance in these parts. Bring the car back shot-up or blown-up and you pay for the repairs.
