Armored Luxury SUV: Combat T-98


If you are looking for the perfect vehicle to drive to your underground lair - look no further than the Combat T-98. Sure, it looks like the lovechild between a Cadillac Escalade and a Hummer H2, but maybe that’s cool where you will be driving it.

Oh, and don’t think that just because it is armored and heavy that it will be slow. The 8.1 liter 340 bhp Vortec V8 engine helps make it the fastest armored 4WD vehicle in the universe.

For $138,000 you can get one that is bulletproof, but for $100,000 more, you can make the armor at the “anti-tank” level. (So don’t bring your kids to the dealer when you are shopping for this one, because you know how kids are, they’ll beg you to upgrade to the “anti-tank” armor)

Of course, there really isn’t a dealer for these. They make them per orders only.

240-acre underground city for sale in the U.K.

Cold War City is up for auction. The 240 acre city was created to house top government officials in the event of a Soviet nuclear attack. (What? Was it supposed to keep their bodeis all in one location?) The city has 60 miles of roads, and it’s own rail station.

This is the perfect opportunity for an evil supervillain to aquire some prime base space. The property is estimated to be worth 5-million pounds. (Which, according to asking Google to “convert 5 million pounds to dollars” is 8.83 million U.S. dollars)

If I were a billionaire, I would buy this up in a heartbeat and worry what to do with it later.
