What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."
"They say the bigger your car, the tinier your penis. I have a Mini - that's why I drive a Hummer."
This is why a Razor scooter is my daily driver.
I have a hummer - that is why I drive a Mini Cooper
Cool truck, but why ??? It doesn't even have the utility that Trucks are usually famous for
I mean okay if it was built properly(these usually arent, just for road and not offroad) and the ownerr actually used it offroad, and the car would be banned on the road, it would be pretty cool. But all this is doing is having horrible fuel economy while being a pedestrian murdering machine.
Where are the HOAs when they could actually be useful for a change...
the punisher decals are canon. they want to be batman.
You know he's sitting at home, waiting for something to happen so he can whip out his loser mobile
there is really not enough storage space in the back to merrit the 2 extra wheels
They should have put the double wheels at the front to carry the fat american burger lover that drives it
5mpg tops
Tell us you have a tiny peen, without telling us you have a tiny peen.
We body-shaming now ?
We're inconsiderate-shaming. We're i-don't-care-how-many-school-kids-i-have-to-wipe-off-my-front-bumper-in-order-to-look-cool-shaming
Notice what you don't see: Any scratches or dirt on it nor mud on any of it's 6 tires. Total pavement princess.
Yep, was gonna say that.
It even has a cute little wreathed archway it drives through on every entry and exit from the driveway, awww!
If it does get dirty, it will be because it can't fit in the garage.
I love seeing trucks and cars that are supposedly for the apocalypse. Do you seriously think we're going to have gas in the apocalypse??? Do you not realize the insane supply chain that needs to exist for you to have gas in your car? You can't store gas, it goes bad pretty dang quick you dumb fuck. What's your plan?
Best part is, this isn't even a diesel. It's got a Hellcat engine. For heavy vehicles you'd want diesel to get good torque and fuel economy. That's why cargo vehicles are almost all diesel powered.
Even if the refineries kept going in the apocalypse, I'm fairly sure places that distribute fuel would be few and far between. This person would have to refuel a LOT... Might not even make it to the next place with fuel.
Yes, BUT! it would look cool as hell being useless :D
Us with solar and electric vehicles and bikes have been the actual ones prepping.
This is why my "shit hits the fan" vehicle is a 1982 diesel Mercedes.
That thing will run on anything as fuel. I've tried running it on old used motor oil, used hydraulic oil from my car hoist, lamp oil, and yes ofc used fryer oil.
I'm gonna be cruising in my old ass sedan laughing at the preppers in their modern trucks that can't run on anything but the most pure of fuels without clogging their injectors.
Haven't driven anything made in '82, but I'll maintain that my friend's W124 250D was one of the most comfortable car's I've ever driven. It's the suspension, mostly. Nowadays everything is sporty, but I don't want sporty 90% of the time, I want to not feel bumps and shit.
They are so goddamned comfortable, not much difference between the W123 from '82 and a W124 for that.
Though the W124 is a lot better insulated, and thus quite a lot more quiet in the cabin than the W123.
A very scared man hides in this thing on his way to an unsatisfying job.
If that thing came powered with something like a 5.9 cummins hybrid and 6 independent traction motors. That would make a wicked boat, landscaping truck. Put a proper dump box on the thing or a tilt and load. Fuck that thing could make money if done right.
It exists because many people have more money than brains. As for the decal, what you have there is the 2024 Apocalypse Juggernaut 6x6 . My guess is that the owner is probably 5' 9" and 300 lbs gravy seal with 30 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition who thinks he's going to take over Florida when society collapses.
The rugged individualist of the gated community.
If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.
If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn't an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?
So much this!
If you've got an electric vehicle you can charge it with anything really.
Solar panels, hydro, wind, a generator, etc
The perfect apocalypse vehicle load out IMO is an electric car (perhaps even an electric van/box truck), electric dual sport motorcycle, and a bicycle.
Chevy Volt. Runs full electric until it's out, then uses gas. the only real problem is the 40 mile electric range.
Yes, exactly. You need a stable society to run oil refineries and distribute the gasoline to every community. Portable solar panels may be a trickle of energy, but it's still something to juice up an EV that only requires sun. Some EV can also power an extension cord, so they're a mobile back up battery.
I want whatever these people are using to get to this headspace...
You mean 16 hours a day of alpha male podcasts and NRA propaganda?
¡Yo tambien! But then again I tried meth once and am not excited to repeat the next day.
Every conversation with the owner: "goddamn gas prices! Stupid liberals!"
