What would you use for transport in this situation?

Last man in a major city?  Whatever I damn well wanted to.  There's plenty of choices parked along the road.

Seriously though, probably something mildly fuel efficient and with decent cargo capacity (light pickup)

I would see if NYPD had an old armored car most likely it would be amphibious that would be the best of both worlds.. the brad you would have to stop to fire unless you had found the lady or could train your dog real well

bradley, m113, anything heavily armored. As long as it can withstand their attacks, the sun will shine at some point.

It seemed like he was doing just fine with that Expedition until he tried kamikazing a bunch of those critters.

I'd tame one of those lions and throw a saddle on it.

The rea Hummer uses diesel, right?

My guess is home made biodiesel is about the only fuel you will have access to. Also, the real humvee is just badass, unlike the GM poser H2 and H3.

Not what I was thinking (lav-25) but would be better than a mustang

I've heard that the original is quite maintenance-intensive - as are things like M113s and other vehicles like that.



If he was the last human alive in Manhattan, I'd think that plenty of storage fuel tanks for gas stations would have enough fuel to last a lifetime.

I don't see why he didn't just hunker down in an Abrams, no matter how strong they made those things look it would be impossible for them to gain entry.

And squishing zombies is fun.



Too hard for one man to maintain. And the drivers compartment is both small and has no access to the guns.

And where exactly is he going to obtain an Abrams?

He's a Colonel. He got connections.

I'd drive something made by Ford.

The studio said I'd have to.

wasn't there an M1 Abrams???

A Brad would be sweet to roll around in, except it requires a crew. So if you were all alone, the most you could do is drive it, hop out of the seat in the middle of SHTF, and shoot. The other problem is maintenance. On the Brad and M113 you would need to know HOW to repair it which requires alot of training and you would need replacement parts. You can't just goto a local hardware store and pick those up. These things constantly have to be worked on.

Of those choices, I'd take the M113. I don't think the mutants could break through it's armor, so you'd be safe.

I don't know how the mutant managed to not kill themselves when they head butted the SUV. Unless when they mutated, their bones are super strong.

as long as you get home well before dusk
you could ride about on a moped

Cadillac-Gage Commando V100 variant. Wheeled, 4X4, armored and amphibious. It has about a 550 mile range on gasoline and rolls at highway speeds. FWIW, I'd rig it with infrared lights (if I can find some that emit UV A/B) or tanning bed lights. Then, I'd own the day and night.

Something different every day.

i'd get some kind of uparmored 4x4 pickup with the best gas mileage possible. maybe a unimog?

what about a motorcycle a la milla jovovich in resident evil 3?

I thought I saw some in the streets along with the 113s and humvees.

Oxygenated gasoline, which is all they can sell in NYC, does not store well for long periods. Diesel is better for long term fuel storage.

Whatever I wanted, but I would def. pickup a motorcycle with some storage bags on the sides of it so that I could move fast through the area and not waste too much fuel doing so. But then again that would leave my dog on his own, so on days I brought him I would ride in whatever I wanted.

An M1 crewed by one is worse than a pickup IMHO
