Zombie Apocalypse Daily Driver Challenge.
Discussion
I've seen lots of army trucks mooted, but all of them fall flat at one hurdle - they all need petrol or diesel to make them run.
One of these babies, however...... petrol, diesel, paraffin, kerosene, light oil, vegetable oil, industrial spirits, alcohol... you name it, it'll happily run on it!
Just add some armour and build a living quarters bit on the back, and bob's your uncle.

I don't care what you say about reliability, it's got an anti-EMP modified engine and that for me trumps any logical and sensible argument on cool factor alone.
All it needs for the zombie apocalypse is a plough.
What if I got my hands on a nuclear bomb and needed a reliable getaway vehicle? Granted, I'd rather something slightly faster in such a scenario, so perhaps I'd fit it with some go faster stripes and the biggest V8 I could find.
Or what if I fancied a post-apocalyptic overland expedition around the world? I always hated tourists anyway and never had a proper gap year so why not?
So in short, whilst you'd be pootling along in your sensible Micra, I'd be waging nuclear warfare on the zombies and going on epic adventures - perhaps picking up a few languages and a harem of grateful women that I'd just saved along the way. Just because I could. Amateur.

Dodge Ram 2500HD with a Cummins diesel and a 6 inch lift kit, knobbly tyres and a magic tree.
Why?
- there's one 20 feet away from me
- I won't be looking for filling stations every 10 minutes, thirsty but it's got a massive fuel tank
- it's already prepped to take a snow plow so mowing down zombies or that annoying character in every zombie movie you can't wait to see croak it, and with said snow plough I won't have to ponce around when I smash into a store for supplies. Oh yeah, and when it snows I won't be stuck.
- reliable, quick and can pull a house down, a tree out of the road etc.
- it's got a tool box fitted to the bed with a decent compliment of tools already in it.
- it's not too big to get down the less accessible routes or off road trails, but big enough.
- the bed being separated from the cabin is brilliant for picking up proles, survivors or hookers without the stench bothering me
- plenty of storage compartments for guns and haribo.
Not that I've given the zombie apocalypse any thought or anything.

Bargain.Cheaper than a 3-series and can actually get you to Dakar.
Late 80s - early 90s Nissan Patrol/Safari or Toyota Landcruiser. Great offroad, heaps tougher than a car (or Hilux), simple to fix if anything does break, won't break down all the time like a Landrover... much easier to find spare parts than some ex-military APC or something!

So, what you want is a car that just won't stop, no matter what happens to it. Something that has no problem with running over clumps of zombies or shunting broken down vehicles out of the way. Perhaps something that even repairs itself if damaged ...
Of course you could never look at another vehicle and rescuing cute female survivors is going to be out of the question - unless you want them gassed by exhaust fumes. As long as you're cool with that though, sorted!
