    The Auburn. And a leather-clad babe with a machine gun.


    This post-apocalypse could be fun.

    Having seen the Navistar MaxxPro in person, it is even more imposing than in the pictures.


    Where's the Oshkosh Sand Cat that was parked right next to the MaxxPro? That would be on my post-apocalyptic list too.

    Keep in mind that part of the danger will come from not the zombies, but the panicking mob that will jack your vehicle and leave you f*cked. So I gotta go with the Lancer, its got the speed to keep the crowds in check.

    The great thing about the F-650 is "pre" apocalypse you can haul record numbers of dead hookers around and "post" apocalypse you can drive over record numbers of undead hookers. Hmm zombie hookers... wonder if they still charge?

    I saw this thing at the SAE Truck show a few years ago. It was a tossup between it and the International CXT.

    The Ford F-650 is an automatic fail because of the external tanks. They could easily be syphoned off or, even worse, explode when hit by small-arms fire. It seems someone has forgotten the Pinto.


    The Auburn will do well as an extra in the inevitable remake of Neville Shute's "On the Beach".

    Ohhhhhhh, yes it does. You just have to mix the stuff with the right amount of ammonium nitrate, and use some creativity to prime it.

    I love the Auburn just for the "fuck it" factor. If we head to an earth-ending apocolypse, that would be my ride of choice. Screw trying to make it through the apocalyptic nightmare...life won't be that great anyway.

    The Racing Lancer has my vote if I can't get one of those new F-150 Raptors. They can do anything pretty quickly, from what I hear.
