Why didn't the VX make this list?

Save for the Track T-800CDI, that list is pretty sad....

That pretty much covers all the bases!

Wow that list is really sad and I hate to say it but the Vx isn't on my apocalypse list either. Its just not strong enough and you can't put much in it. Plus it would take way to much to armor it and there is no way to make it an offensive/defensive vehicle.
My list (not including tanks):
1: Super terra bus (Transport)
2: Mil-spec HMMWV (Light transport)
3: DPV/LSV (light recon)
4: Bowler wildcat (Medium recon/ high speed bait)
5: Dodge RAM 3500 crew cab dually 4x4 (Equipment transport)
6: Mil-spec 5 ton (transport)
7: Mil-spec Army SF HMMWV (heavy recon)
8: Mil-spec heavy duty wrecker (I wonder what that could be for?)
9: Landrover Defender 110, The Army SF version (Medium recon)
10: LCAC (just for good measure)
Also, when is everyone going to realize that we don't have some indestructible crazy one of a kind machine. All we basically have is a rodeo with a body kit. Thats all it really is. Don't get me wrong I love it to death but please its just as simple as any other SUV.
That list should have included an AMC Pacer. (mirthmobile...excellent) :rolleyes:
Not only could you use it to get around the post apocalyptic landscape, but you could also turn it into a terrarium & raise salimanders as a source of food... :cool:
I'm sort of thinking that a 1981 Dodge Aries K-Car would be a good idea, too. If "The Grape" survived my 'care' for that long, then zombies or whatever would be no problem at all! :)Quote:

Which brings me to my last point -- you're gonna want a diesel. You're going to want an engine that will run on stale french fry oil, if it needs to. I think Nerve's got the spirit of it...
I am so driven by the idea of a zombie apocalypse lol.Quote:

The VX is not a good post-apocalypse vehicle - if you think finding parts is tough now, just wait until after all has been laid waste and the zombies roam the landscape.
I like that DAF 95 though!
The VX didnt make that list because it is the CAUSE of the apocalypse. We are the Decepticons compared to those Autobot creations. ;)
We shall stand alone, and shall be the victors!

Well, it's a men's prison, so its a bakla or nothing. I didn't realize it was popular, I got the link from some filipino friends.
