The car in this case serves as a metaphor for something. It is something of great value that was well thought out. Cars can serve as many metaphors, at least from a guys perspective. They can somehow turn anything about a car into another meaning. The looks of an armored stick up is a something that is prepared. It has a lot of defenses to obtain the utmost protection in any given situation. The fact of this person's situation is also having a good defense and having all the details to make sure things go right. This armor is something that is used in the military. The military is known to have the best protection for its soldiers-it it crucial. The car represents strength, back bone, defensive, and power from anything that may cross its path.
