Ok guys, I thought it be fun to test to see if your survival skills would hold up. The year is 2025 the world is in turmoil. There are riots everywhere, stock markets around the world have crashed. The reason for all the mayhem are as follows, oil prices are at a all time high 22 dollars a gallon. "it is said that we only have enough oil to last 20 more years so who knows what the oil of prices will be within 20 years" Power shortages world wide, global temperatures rising to an alarming rate causing massive draught and food shortages. A terrible f virus has been attacking the world population. Corruption by government and big business have caused things to spiral out of control. Law and order are non existent for the most part. Now your job is to find a means of surviving. Against all those predators out there in the street that would steal what is yours. The only rule survive is how smart you are and how tough you are.
1. You, decide that trying to survive in the city is a no go sooner or later your luck will run out. So, you make a plan to head up to the north west and live off the land.
Heres the problem you are face with, you can carry as much provision as your car can carry. That means your going to be a prime target for road warriors and bandits to try and take you out. "they want all of your survival supplies. The bigger the rig or the flasher the ride the more attention your going to be getting and the less likely your going to make it to a safe harbor aka mountains of the northwest. YOU CANT PICK LIKE A SEMI AND DRAG YOUR HOUSE ALONG. It has to be a 4 wheel car or truck. Remember trucks and big suv are prime target because of the bad guys view it as prime picking . Now the other problem that you are face with is gas mileage, the more stops that you have to make in order to refill the less likely your going to make it. However, if you pick a slow car with great gas mileage, the bad guys wills surely outrun you and kill you if they attack you.
So, you see I made sure that all you gun ho types cant pick like a tank and arm it up the ying yang its about compromise here. If your still reading at this point here where the fun comes in
1. Pick what kind of car or truck and tell why. "remember of the disadvantages of truck, good gas mileage car, fast cars, heavy cars. SUV ad 4x4 will get only 17 on highway, imports get 31 for the high performance 4 bangers and 40 for the econo box. Muscle cars get 23 on the high way so does basically most 4 door american car. Or japanese luxury car.
2. You can modify your car in whatever way you want, such as in adding fuel cells, armor plating. "Note the more heavier the car the slower its going to accelerate and the more gas that its going to guzzle, and the less supply you will be able to carry.
3. What sort of supplies are you going to carry with you. Remember too much weight will slow you car down which will make you prime pickings for road bandits. Etc, so pick carefully, make sure that all the items you pick will fit in your car. Any items on tied to the roof rack will alert bandits that you are carrying much needed supplies so they will hunt you down and kill you for sure.
So, now lets hear what everyone has to say about the choices that they are going to make as far as vechile, mods, blades, weapons etc Remember pick wisely because you wont be able to run down to the local store to pick up more supply your going to have to live off the land in the northwest where it snows and rains big time. Also expect to meet some confrontation such as road blocks which you will be able to drive through if your car is strong enough however the more punishment little cars take the less likely they will make it. Also expect the bad guys to try to ram you with their car aka mad max style. You have the right to shoot back remember that, if you elect to carry a weapon along. Remember, ammo is heavy so if you go for an machine gun its probably going to weigh your car down big time and you probably wouldnt be able to use it while your driving because of the kick however it would come in handy at the gas stops.
Good luck all
