What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there’s a decal that reads “Apocalypse 6x6.”
I love seeing trucks and cars that are supposedly for the apocalypse. Do you seriously think we’re going to have gas in the apocalypse??? Do you not realize the insane supply chain that needs to exist for you to have gas in your car? You can’t store gas, it goes bad pretty dang quick you dumb fuck. What’s your plan?
Ha, and it’s always something that probably gets like 4mpg.
i was thinking about this the other day. In an end of the world as we know it scenario, gasoline will be gone in short order, so most cars will no longer be able to run. which is great.
However, diesels can be modded to run on other fuels, even used cooking oil. So in theory, if you can get some kind of oil, you can run your diesel. It’s also possible to mod a regular combustion engine to run on ethanol. ethanol is just 100% alcohol. You can make it yourself if you have a still. Albeit, you’d have to have a shitload of grain to get a full tank, you’d still be able to get some fuel every now and then.
All that being said. If civilization as we know it comes to an end, that just means that we won’t be as connected as we are now. but we’ll still be human, we’ll still want to trade goods, services, art and ideas. You’ll need to connect with your neighbors and cooperate to survive. one will grow something, one will grow something else, one will teach, one will heal, one will brew beers. everyone will meet in the square to exchange their goods and knowledge. so, i guess, if you run out of fuel, just get a horse, or borrow the neighbor’s.
You laugh now, but when society collapses they’ll be safe for a full hour before they run out of gas. If they can make it into the truck, of course, since it looks too big to fit in their garage.
I bet you didn’t even notice the lion.
Wow, that took me way too long to find. I thought you meant on the truck. BTW, the logo is dumb af.
Is it a Christmas lion? Such a weird dude.
Even if that’s a part of a nativity scene, it’s still wildly out of place.
Wait, are lions part of the nativity? I don’t think I knew that
They’re actually not, but people are given to mis-interpreting all kinds of biblical stuff. So, once you have animals like camels… it wouldn’t surprise me in the slightest if people started adding all kinds of Noah’s ark nonsense too.
Just… drive a train at this point. There’s nothing more badass than a train.

Looks like an armored Rezvani Hercules 6x6.
These are $$$ in general:
But they’re also driveable in SnowRunner for much less money.
Are these just large-carat diamonds for boys?
I cannot tell from the listing but are they actually ‘armoured’ in any way other than the steel bumper bar (which is a common addition to any farm truck, and cheap) - like are the fender panels all just painted plastic like most modern vehicles?
They may cost $250k new, but as I pointed out in another comment they seem to hold fuck all resale value. Here’s one selling for less than 1/5th its initial value ($48k), one year after purchase - seems brand new and lists no issues/damage…

Seller is exactly whom you’d expect.

This is just my conjecture, but the front windscreen incl. frame and doors appear thicker than what I saw in other stock images of the vehicle. For all I know, it may not be legit armor plating but just a body kit, but if someone can directly purchase one of these, then perhaps they could afford actual armor plating. There is a company in my hometown (south-central Texas) that offers vehicle armoring services, but my impression has always been that this service was more for individuals/businesses that have concerns with cartel, etc.

Ouch, that’s horrific depreciation! Wow! If that’s the case, that’s definitely the way to go if this vehicle would scratch the itch for someone’s inner child.
They need that for the difficult run to Publix obviously.
Truck costs more than the house. . and will probably be repo’d within 3 years.
Holy crap, I saw that thing at the airport. Pavement princesses are not really my thing.
What an utterly useless thing. You add axles to bear more weight. Unless you’re hauling a big tungsten cube, the truck isn’t big enough to carry a load that would need three axles.
It’s even dumber than those Jeep Gladiators, the #1 pavement princess in my area, which sacrifice departure angle for a ridiculously small amount of cargo space and less load capacity than an entry level pickup truck.
Just stupid.
It is a jeep gladiator.
Holy shit. It is, isn’t it? Perfect!

No mud whatsoever. Fucking poser ass coward.
Its funny because its built to destroy but the owner would likely cry if it was scratched.
Tell us you have a tiny peen, without telling us you have a tiny peen.
Not enough people talking about Christmas Aslan over there behind the truck.
Middle age crisis and tiny penises can be seen from a long distance.
Being from a hurricane and tropical storm prone area myself it isn’t uncommon for otherwise normal people to own rigs like this
5mpg tops
