“The end of days is at hand, and the only question is this: What will you drive when it all comes tumbling down?”
Dawn and I will be in the Stryker and heading for Norm’s at the first sign of the undead.

Oh I agree with the striker, but if “the Stand” taught us anything we’ll probably end up on the motorcycle the Russians used. But really Norm’s? I would imagine you would run into problems getting across the south unopposed or across the blue ridge mountains.
Michelle and I will be running approximately one week behind as we will have to wait out the masses of undead arising from the city. Now if we’re able to get the “farm” well then chances are we’ll be holed up in a bunker in the park.

Hey why not Norm’s?…..it’s outside the city, and I’m already prepared with enough gas to run the generator for about a month. After I perfect my bio-diesel process, we can grow our own fuel.
Plus I got the swimming pool installed last week…..it’s looking good.
Plenty of wood to burn. I Still need a few more trees taken down. I spent the week after Gavin’s birth running the chainsaw and the ‘borrowed’ chipper. Took down over 150 pine trees, and have the stumps to prove it.

Just like Norm, I’m preparing for this. It’s funny the Jeep picture is of the Jeep TJ not CJ the last CJ was made in ‘87 or ‘88.
The TJ is ‘97-06. I thought Wired was a nerd site but apparently they are mis informed. We own a TJ and an XJ. And if it got crazy while I was at work, we could grab a stash of Freeze dried and be on our way. We have all of the other stuff here. I don’t know where you’d get a Stryker though, unicycle in the castro, maybe, but no seat. Funny thing though, Jen wants to prepare for power outages, like I wanted to for earthquakes, she heard there may be tornadoes here.

Funny you would mention that about the CJ. The photo of the cruiser that is labeled an FJ40 is actually an FJ-45 Troopie. Longer wheel base than the 40.

Wow, with all this car talk maybe I should start a thread on shoes. Should I bring the three and a half inch strappy stiletto, the three inch stacked heel or the retro peep toe pump. So many choices…

maybe something cute, strappy, black ish but not too black with a goldish, brassy kind of buckle thinger, that doesn’t look too much like your other shoes. or just black flats, they go with so much and pack easily.
“yo dude my truck was like wwwwwwuuunnnggghhhh, and he was like it’s all *****ed up”

Went to a “skunkworks” concept/millitary vehicle builder a few weeks ago - we may do some work for them. They had a serious bomb-resistant hybrid and a stretched and widened FJ-45 on a modern land cruiser chassis that the did for Toyota.
We’re currently working on a Lamborghini LM002 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LM002) project right now. It would definately handle the apocalypse in style.

Well technically speaking the jeep is far superior to the FJ.
June 20th, 2008 at 3:53 am
Huh?
I would have to disagree……

Domestic vs import. Balls vs. lack of.

It must be a heep thing…..I don’t understand…..

Sorry Lester, but I’m with Norm here. An FJ, especially a diesel one, is commonly known as most indestructible motor vehicle on earth. Land rovers are a close second, especially since their aluminum bodies don’t corrode, but they are british.
Jeeps excel where you need horsepower.
You will both enjoy this:
