    I still say Volvo 240 - tough bumpers, sturdy body, parts easy to find in any major U.S. city, tight turning circle, and invisible to the police.

    The 323 GTX is a great choice...until you need to replace something, like the transmission made of unobtainium.

    The Landmaster!

    Pros: Proven against killer cockroaches
    - Uses "truck gears," for easy repair part scavenging
    - Articulated chassis for sexy shimmy action
    - Floats like a turd

    Cons: Jan Michael Vincent association
    - Unsprung weight is off the charts
    - Swims like a turd

    @rebelminion: Negatives are retroactive. That's why I haven't gone out and gotten any of Michael Jackson's old stuff, even though I liked it at the time.

    I would have chosen a Mercedes W123 with an OM-617 diesel and a manual transmission (Euro taxi or swap from 240D). It's impervious to anything short of running out of fuel. Much like a cockroach, it is likely to survive a nuclear war due to it's electrical system being impervious to an EMP.

    #2 for urban conflict, #6 for desert conflict.

    I'll take #7 for the bush. #7 has the bonus of allowing easy relocation of your living quarters to pretty much anywhere, which is a very nice benefit.

    Been there, doing that right now...a great time to not be tied to a house, honestly.

    Not doing it with an F-350/450 based machine, though. Ours is a 40' Freightliner-chassied monster.
