The title says it all here folks, If you had a unlimited supply of fuel etc what would be your number one choice of vehicle for you can your group?

I couldnt decide so I picked three
my first one is this beauty for clearing the streets. nothing says your care like 50+ steel chains with 10lb hammers on the end rotating at a couple of hundred RPMs. I bet you could clean out atlanta in a week or two with one of these


Then for cruising that long open road I would have to travel and i couldnt let the occasional wrecked car get in the way so what better then this.


and for getting around in a hurry i would think something like this would be perfect. no frills, fast and built tuff, it was built for mining.

[Varanus]

Love the first one. That thing is just bad ass.

Second one very cool.

Third one looks a bit too open for my taste.

[The Reaper]

Yep I picked the Aardvark as well.



Then the Canadian built LAV III





My last would be a Prius as they get 71 mpg.

[rzombie]

Pyus, that vehicle with the hammers is a beast! I would ride shotgun with you on that trip.

My choices would be my trusty rig a 379 Peterbilt with a 53 footer for transporting supplies and survivors to local population centers. I would want a  AH-64A/D Apache Attack Helicopter for short hop rescue and transport. And a M22 Locust for crowd control.

RV from the movie "Stripes" which comes complete with a rocket launcher and flamethrower! :D

Fuel doesn't grow on trees let alone high octane aviation fuel and how to rearm an AH64 not to mention what are the odds of having a certified AH64 pilot on hand.

Also with the Aardvark just place some dead people/chunks behind it and let them walk into the chains would be the zombie roach motel.

Lav 3's and the Aardvark are ridiculously easy to use.

Yup fuel sure don't grow on trees but dude said unlimited fuel. And as for pilots we have a few of those around these parts;Military training and all.

[The Reaper]

Well unlimited anything in an apocalypse is wrong other then misery.

It's a what if scenario and completely for our enjoyment. I like helicopters, i drive a truck and tanks are just about the strongest ground vehicle there is so that's why I chose them.

And for Unlimited Misery. I'm stealing that phrase it made me laugh.

[ScreenTalker]

That first one is awesome. Only thing I'd be worried about is having to wash off the zombie chunks.

Second one is novel, but that arm is used to pick ied's up & off the road. That was used on Transformers as Bonecrusher.

Third I would roll around in as a daily driver right now!

[pyus]

Yaa the Aardvark is a beast and since the zombies dont seem like the kind to throw landmines in your way you can more then likely cut off some of the armor to lighten the load. I am pretty sure if you ran this bad boy into a group like rick found in atlanta there wouldnt even be chunks left just a red spray.

[Akin]

Saying you'll have "unlimited" anything in a TEOTWAWKI situation, or claiming that you'll be using this particular cutting edge thingy that only the armed forces have, just yanks me right out of the fun of it.  Sure, there are plenty of Abrams tanks rolling around Army bases, but when the end comes, the guys who use them might want to, I don't know, use them, until they break down or run out of fuel.  Without the supply infrastructure, they're useless.

Given that, I surely wouldn't mind having a LAV-25, or hell, a Bradley or even an M-113.  Something made of steel that I could shelter inside would be good... hmmm... a boxy M-113 might really be good, it's a little too tall for anyone to easily climb up on, let alone a zombie... plenty of room inside to lay out a couple of bedrolls...

[pyus]

this is just for fun though Akin. I could throw in there that the military wants you to clear out a zombie infested city and all their gear is open to you or such. I just think the Ardvark is the perfect vehicle for anti zombie runs those chains would likely never need changing with how soft zombie flesh is.

[Living Dead Grrrl]

That first one looks sweet. I admit I don't know a lot about vehicles but for personal use (just me going back and forth from whereever)  I'd like a big bike of sorts. Landrover or Hummer could be cool and  I'd have access (hopefully) with my uncle down the road who has all these . . . and the old house boat that hasn't been used in Lord knows. That's not at the house, though.

But one of these thingies might totally rock!!

[Gazzamc]

Mine :)



but seriously that first one is awesome.. if not that i'd use the vehicle from LotD

Boys and Girls were are all beat, trumped I say.

That little girls bike is the ultimate survival vehicle. Those frilly tassels on the hand grips can paralyze zombies with a somber realization of their undeadness and loss of humanity. The pink color would cause the walkers to recoil in horror and shame at seeing such a monstrosity made in John Deere's name.

Lmfao love it

Good luck finding fuel for that sucker.  Of course, a group of well financied survivalists can have that thing built and fuel storage to last many years.  Just make sure it's diesel/bio-diesel/veggi oil vehicle as gasoline goes bad over time.

There is much less chance of the vehicle below from rolling over.  It's perfect for a small group.  It sits 3-5 and room for guns and ammo.  

I would put a few Katanas in front and rear about 5 feet in height to take our the zom's while in motion.  It makes it easier to push forward as well.  I don't know if I would put Katanas in front because I hate having to carry extra weight of Zacks, the rear katanas are probably good as Zacks would fall off while the vehicle drives away.

There should be protection for the rear tires, which look like double daully to me.  The windows could use some metal cage on the exterior similar to some tanks, just think of a metal fruit basket or milk carton screwed onto the the window.  The opening should be big enough to stick a rifle out while the window is roll (not powered) down.  That's how I would roll.



And here is a actual Zomobile in a blue state of Maryland.

Kinda looks like those vehicles they use in storm chasers.. those would do i suppose.. if it can withstand a tornado it can probable withstand a zombie apocalypse.. :)

Yep.  it's one of the vehicles from Storm Chasers.  I believe this is the one they talk about the most because it has the most technologies and money spent.  However, I like the red one better because sitting positions still resemble a car and that cuts down on potential chaos.  I also like its hydraulic lift feature to prevent air from coming under and lift the vehicle up; however, there should be a manual back-up mode for that in case of malfuction.

this would work for me if i had to move around any real distance.
