Don't think I could get an SUV or lifted truck even knowing it doesn't matter because A) I hate cars on a visceral level too much, and B) the lovely visibility is nerve-wracking lol. I don't even like hatchbacks, can only stand driving sedans

Oh no question buddy, no question. Loathe the things. Absolute gut level rage at their existence - that I just dropped half a thousand on a tow, battery, coil, oil and air filter change notwithstanding. But fleeing a city is a question of when not if and there's gonna be about one way to do that.

Oh I wanna big and tough and a survivor, good, better get a big tough car.

tbf something like this possibly can. probably knocking down some fences in the process but y'know, gotta break some eggs and violate some property. but definitely not on actual roads which are going to be a cluster gently caress

They knock down fences just fine until a metal pole punches through your oil pan. Or red top wire becomes tangled around your axel. I'm just cackling over here at the thought of someone who thinks land rovers are good cars going "the highways are blocked and the city is in riots I'm gonna make my way to safety by bashing though fences in my giant power wheels."

Oh, Jeep chat! Anything newer than ~2001 is garbage, arguably 1997 when Chrysler took over, but up until 2001 they were using mostly AMC tooling.

It's amazing how pervasive American automotive propaganda is. Yes it's going to give me the advantage of having more storage space for survival gear than a Nissan Altima. Also more space for me to sleep in the thing, get one of those camping attachments for beds or whatever. Those things besides that a Nissan Altima will get stuck in mud, big cracks, shallower water, et al regardless of my degree of skill operating the thing.

Yeah cars are garbage but it isn't like there is any alternative in America ca. 2020. We're buying some land in Vermont and hoping to build our apocalypse bunker by the end of 2023. Assuming there are enough healthy people left to build things and that money exists etc. Can't wait to see the expression on the builder's face when I say "I would like to build a home in Vermont, but to California fire code and Florida hurricane code." Yes I know that it will just be a shiny pinata when things fall apart. Sorry for being part of the lovely modern tech bro petit bourgeoise or whatever, it wasn't supposed to go down like this. If it helps I maxed out for Bernie.

if you don’t have a car or access to one you are definitely going to die when nobody is driving buses during a major societal event, such as this week or last in many parts of the nation. if things shut down I don’t expect any help for non-drivers unless you’re in walking distance to a community center of some kind, where you might get saltines.

It's amazing how pervasive American automotive propaganda is. Yeah this. My city (LA) struggles with people just commuting to work on a sunny dry day. If there's any sort of disaster, you're not going anywhere. The government won't even have to shut the roads down, the roads will shut themselves down. Also, your choices for safe haven are 1. More suburbia and city 2. High mountains giving way to blasted desert for a thousand miles 3. The Pacific Ocean

Tesla Cybertruck is definitely the one to buy. No looters can carjack you with it's unbreakable windows, and you'll be able escape the cities in the Hyperloops that will no doubt cover the country by the time things collapse.

That snark was more directed at automotive marketing than you personally. I think both of us share the ambition of being the last bastard standing on a pile of skulls. At any rate get a minivan with good reliability and fuel economy.

My actual bug out plan is permanently borrowing one of these puppies from the local sailing club. Sleeps 4, room for months of provisions, renowned for heavy weather handling, has windvane and watermaker, needs no fuel to cross oceans, could make it to Europe eventually, offers potential of exciting death by pirates.

Its one of the best simple ones and 25% less than aGMC, Fordor Chevy and theyre pretty bullet proof.
