"It's the last of the V8 Intercepters"
Love that rig.

They were actually called V8 Special Pursuit in the first movie, in the second one, one of the okes call it an interceptor. I assume radiation poisoning made for blatant misidentification of a classic.

M2 Bradley for me...I'd be happy with a Stryker though.
What would be your dream post apocalyptic vehicle ?
Given that it could be a hostile environment be it from invading armies or a zombie outbreak !
I think one of these IVEMA - GILA Armoured Vehicles would be close to mine !
These babies are built close to were I live, from time to time you cross one of them on the road ( I suppose on the way to being shipped). They are huge, you only understand that when you pass them in the car and they tower above you.
Anyone got a pic of the vehicle the US is replacing the Hummers with? supposed to be big and huge with like monster truck tires that prevent them from being as suseptible (sp?) to the mines and roadside bombs that have plagued the hummers so. I read something about them somewhere but can't remember.......

mountain bike for the win, my GT Xizang would be perfect. As far as civilian motorized vehicles go, a Hummer H1 softtop would be pretty ideal, or maybe a Subaru Baja. If combat vehicles count, then I'll take a Blackwater Hate Truck loaded with an HK3 machine gun and a few SIG-550's in the back.

I'd opt for one of my Packrafts, this one's 5lb 8oz, packs tiny and can carry 800lbs! Carry it on your little finger!

until you hit a class 3 rapid and it folds on you, and then your vehicle and your gear is sitting on the bottom of a 70 foot deep river and you're stranded sopping wet in the middle of zombieland :thumbup: get a good hardshell creeking or allwater kayak. They can handle a goodsized pack in addition to a kayaker.

I get what you are saying, though I assume the idea is to use it for traveling across waterways or just in water for part of the trip, packing it up and walking the rest. Otherwise, the weight of the raft wouldn't be worth the lack of durability.

The Packraft I pictured is not intended for whitewater, its built to haul heavy loads and crew, my Denali Llama (not shown) is intended for whitewater, with a pack.
Check out the Alpacka Raft (of Colorado) website, here, to get a better understanding of the capabilities of these expedition grade boats, and look 'em up on You Tube travelling some remarkable waters, way beyond my capabilities.
Riz is spot on, the whole objective of a Packraft is that you can pack it!, the boat pictured with the Bic pen (for size comparison) takes two people, as on this expedition. The lightest Packraft weighs 3lb.
They're also very popular for Bike/Rafting expeditions,
Harsh environments are no problem, these boats were born in Alaska.
Up high, or down low, Packrafts go where you go!
I reckon that with a good mountain bike, a spray decked, whitewater capable Packraft, a Katadyn Pocket Filter and a Katadyn O6LL Desalinator in your gear, you're entirely self sufficient for land and water travel, and water sourcing.
By a happy coincidence, I have all of the above...
