Even in the midst of the week-long Managerial Economics mid-term, as well as a Decision Models case-study, I took time out last night to catch the premier episode of “Family Armor” on TLC, a show starring Fuqua’s own Jason Forston. The show delivered on all that was promised: machine guns, exploding cars, stunt driving, crazy engineering and stories of the wealthy and famous needing the protection that can only be provided from an armored vehicle from Texas Armoring. But as I listened to the story of the Greek business man and watched the resulting armoring and gadgetry added to his SUV, I kept thinking to myself “Is this real?”
Of course, the answer is yes, Texas Armoring is a real company that was formed well prior to this show, but it’s just so hard for me to fathom that this is really needed in some parts of the world. Maybe if I had a few hundred million dollars and lived in Dubai, it would feel more real. The only experience I have with smoke coming out of the back of my vehicle is the beater truck I used to drive, which burned a little oil if you pushed it hard enough!
