Hard to beat the EM-50!

Obviously the best choice:

This way I'd be able to go back or forward in time to escape the zombies/what-have-you monsters. Granted, the electronics are rather complex...

I would want a 68 Camaro 350 for quick getaway and easy to find parts.

I would need an old anything with 4 wheel drive and a solid body for collecting parts and running through mud/fallen trees/road disrepair/zombies/monsters.

Prefer a chevy 350 again for easy to find parts, or Ford 302, or dodge 318.

what about the Landmaster from the film Damnation Alley?

oh wait...

- rugged..YES
- simple to maintain..YES
- plentiful parts..YES
- produces gas.. "RUSTY ! "
- no solid state electronics..YES
- can carry a family of 4-6..YES
- can carry plenty of zombie and/or apacolyptic gang fighting weapons, water & food..YES
- mileage can't be TOO poor since gas will be scarce.. Runs on Beanie Whinies
- some off-road capability, as highways will be jammed with disabled cars.. YES


"Rusty"

"Good doomsday/apocalypse vehicle"

"As for zombies"

ummm.. with all due respect Mr. Buck Turgidson, do you know something we don't know?

I'll be in my bunker if anyone needs me.

UNIMOG!

There are tons of Unimog variants almost all of the wine growers around here use them for up in the hills. I see at least 2-3 of them every day driving around Obertuerkheim or Untertuerkheim since all of the Vineyards are here.

However, yeah parts would be easy for me, not in Texas Id assume.

with her in it, of course.... nekkid.

Gentlemen, I give you Texoma All Wheel Drive:

Unimog dealer in Decatur, TX. Buddy of mine used to rock-crawl with a stock '66 404 Unimog...I've met this guy in Decatur too, knows his stuff.

If that's true, my family will have plenty of vehicles to choose from, along with plenty of generators that currently never run to keep a freezer cold for food storage, plenty of land and animals to grow fresh food, enough guns to protect said land and food, etc.

I am hiking to Wunderbrad's place in the event of an EMP attack.

Guess it would be time for me to take the 1957 Jeep off the blocks in my shop and put it back on the road. All old school and I can work on it...

Grego2007: Is that thing amphibious?

I did post when I went to the Unimog Museum last year when I was moving my crap from Aachen to Tuttlingen. I had a Mercedes E-Class Wagen with a Supercharger as my moving car lol

A few pics, they were already hosted, so I figure I posted them for yall last year

Unimog Museum is just off the A5 south of Karlsruhe in the direction of Baden-Baden or Basel. Its near the town of Gaggenau, where all the Unimogs are built. My wife and I took a detour through the Black Forest because the road from Karlsruhe over Pforzheim to Stuttgart is always under construction and jammed with traffic. Anyhow if you are even in Baden-Wuerttermberg, give it a visit.

I've changed my mind...rather have an old Unimog 404 rather than the John Deere.

Buck: Not as built but it probably could be without too much work.

It's used in West Texas...not much water out there

I too was thinking about an old Blazer.

or better yet

There was a book about this recently. The main character drove and Edsel because it didn't have the same type of alternator as other cars. Did Edsels have a generator?

Up until the late 50's I believe all cars used to have generators instead of alternators.

Agree with Walter

Does it have to be an automobile?

late response, but start digging, you won't have anything better to do anyway

Helicopter and tank would be good ideas, but Id hate to have to break into Fort Hood with all of the army zombies in order to get spare parts.

Or worse, some end of the world nut's bunker where hes a zombie with his 22 kids from 8 mothers who all believe hes zombie jesus.
