Transportation: The Armored Car

[macdobhran]

Theses civilian tanks are rare, to say the least. Unless you work for a private security company or have a vast personal fortune, it is unlikely you will have access to one. Despite their poor mileage and lack of all-terrain capability, armored cars present a number of advantages for people on the run. Their massive armor gives the driver virtual invulnerability. Even in a breakdown, those inside could survive as long as their provisions held out. A zombie horde of any size and strength would be incapable of penetrating the reinforced steel.

I've really wondered about this.

In the long run, are you better off with a reasonable 4WD vehicle and conservative driving or in something heavier that gets 4 MPG? How easy will re-fueling be in the post-zombie world?

I would imagine that gas would be one of the first high-demand items. Then if things got bad enough and say the electricity stopped working, gas pumps wouldn't work anyway.
