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.”

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.
