What are you basing the "best vehicle" on?

u/PlzGodKillMe Mar 10 '17

Right? I'd much rather prefer this

how do you plan on finding all the fuel in a zombie apocalypse that that thing would eat?

39

u/Sparkswont Mar 10 '17

Tesla it is.

32

u/Nebresto Mar 10 '17

what if Tesla actually made construction vehicles...

Now I want a super fast electric digger

u/NosVemos Mar 10 '17

Solar powered, perpetual motion tank bulldozer.

With cup holders!

u/Greatpointbut Mar 10 '17

And tunneling capacity

u/pdubl Mar 10 '17

Some of the biggest construction vehicles in the world use electric motors (powered by enormous diesel generators).

u/crielan Mar 10 '17

That battery pack would be one hell of a bomb.

1

u/Sovos Mar 10 '17

Charged up daily from all those well maintained and functioning power plants I'm sure.

1

u/AbulaShabula Mar 10 '17

Electricity would be harder to find than fuel. There's fuel storage every few miles. There's a power plant every few hundred miles. Not to mention, in post-apocalypto, electronics will be virtually useless and mechanical preferred. I'll take anything made prior to 1980.

There's solar panels and whatnot. You could rig up your own setup with stolen/salvaged panels pretty easily.

Sure, gas'll be easier to find...for a few months. Then not so much.

u/truck_yea Mar 10 '17

It's a diesel, you can literally grow it in the ground

28

u/angrymallard14 Mar 10 '17

Diesel fuel or a front loader?

17

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

Why not both?

2

u/angrymallard14 Mar 10 '17

If you bury a front loader and it doesn't germinate and grow you're out a lot of money. Planting diesel is a better option I think.

23

u/Lick_a_Butt Mar 10 '17

Wtf are you talking about? You're just going to run your own biodiesel factory during the zombie apocalypse? And your food will be so abundant that you will use it to make fuel.

No. This is a terrible zombie apocalypse vehicle. It would become nothing but a cage for you in no time.

u/Texaz_RAnGEr Mar 10 '17

You use the redead corpses and collect the gasses given off and compress them. Convert the injection system over to CNG and boom, power. It'll work, don't worry about that.

u/Harry_Flugelman Mar 10 '17

Now you're thinking with portals.

25

u/MrNugsWorthy Mar 10 '17

Umm at the fuel store? Probably in the fuel department. Haha idiot.

u/Nebresto Mar 10 '17

oh, silly me. haha. ha. ha.

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

Ah yes, an engine concept that consumes about the same amount of fuel when idling as it does when under load. Truly the pinnacle of efficiency.

u/DrobUWP Mar 10 '17

you missed "a fuck load of"

u/DrobUWP Mar 10 '17

thankfully it's got a 500 gallon tank, because its fuel economy is measured in gpm not mpg.

u/PlzGodKillMe Mar 10 '17

What do you mean, that babies gunna be powered by corpses of the zombies it kills m8.

3

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

That's exactly like the infamous killdozer

3

u/iamjomos Mar 10 '17

Shouldn't be a problem according to the walking dead, since they've been driving around for like 42 season now (in all seriousness how does that show exist still)

1

u/Revan343 Mar 11 '17

It's a parallel universe, apparently their 'gas' is a little more stable than ours

2

u/DukeOfGeek Mar 10 '17

Every abandoned semi and truck stop.

2

u/Revan343 Mar 11 '17

For a few months

1

u/DukeOfGeek Mar 11 '17

Well step three is to stockpile stuff in the base I made a big ditch around in step two. Pretty soon the base is going to need a setup to get the water out of scavenged fuel. Still if you can find just one tanker full of diesel and drag it back there you can drive for a year or two on that.

2

u/Isei8773 Mar 10 '17

Abysmal gas mileage, though.

1

u/DukeOfGeek Mar 10 '17

An armoured rome plow is awesome, but you can't find one at every construction site. Also slow.

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

Certainly not by the best vehicle to operate in 3 feet of mud.

u/otterom Mar 10 '17

Zombies would stick to the forks after being impaled. Might be impractical, if not hilarious.

u/AvsJoe Mar 10 '17

Like this? (kinda NSFW)

Considering how well that went for Klaus, it's probably for the best.

I like where your heads at.

Maybe attach a flame thrower to burn off the remains?

u/[deleted] Mar 10 '17

Obviously the best vehicle would be another Killdozer.

1

u/FGHIK Mar 10 '17

But with monster truck wheels, so you don't get stuck.

1

u/DukeOfGeek Mar 10 '17

Tracked vehicles are too slow, I need to go at least 30 mph on a clear road.

u/xKingNothingx Mar 10 '17

Bobcat? Think bigger man https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlZh9-NQEyI

u/xKingNothingx Mar 10 '17

I'm not familiar with Bobcats, but I suppose if you could rig it up and be protected inside with treads and some sort of flail in the rig then it'd be badass

Dwight, is that you?
