Hello! Welcome to my weblog about Armored Cars & Trucks. I’m glad you’re here. I’m Mike, your friendly blogger.

In 2005 after 5 years of writing and editing for the car magazines, I’ve made the leap to Armored Cars Blog my full-time job and I couldn’t be happier about it.

If it’s your first time here, you might want to check out some of my all-time hits, like "Interesting Facts About Armored Cars", "How Armored Trucks Work", etc. You can also try browsing through categories, like armored cars, or armored trucks.

I love to connect with my readers, so feel free to shoot me an email or connect with me on Facebook. If you’re interested in working together or submitting something for me to review, please find more information on that here.
