What is the ultimate apocalypse vehicle?

We haven't discussed zombies in a while... and no, we're not talking about Chris.

I'd rock a 92-95 Civic CX. Roughly the same gas mileage, parts are much easier to come by, slightly newer, and better cargo capacity.

Really?

I said it before and I'll say it again...

I'd Mad Max it out with sheets of metal over the wheels/tires, grilles over the windows, and all my essential survival gear in the bed.

Though realistically, it'd probably eventually be something like this....

Because I'd otherwise never get the chance to drive one and an apocalyptic scenario would be the perfect opportunity for me to rid a dealership or collection of one and go joyriding. Fuel economy would be poor, but speed and agility would be crucial in a city environment.

But, as we determined last time, the end all be all best vehicle out there is this:

I originally considered putting up a picture of the Wally 112 as you have, but considering there is only one on the world, and it is in Monaco (i.e. where you and I are not) thats a little unreasonable. And from the last thread, air travel is out of the question, so you'd then need my yacht to get to your yacht. If I feel like it, I might save you a linen closet on-board for accomodation.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
