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."
That kinda looks sick. I love cars that aren't just stock standard stuff.

Cool truck, but why ??? It doesn't even have the utility that Trucks are usually famous for
"They say the bigger your car, the tinier your penis. I have a Mini - that's why I drive a Hummer."
I have a hummer - that is why I drive a Mini Cooper
there is really not enough storage space in the back to merrit the 2 extra wheels
Tell us you have a tiny peen, without telling us you have a tiny peen.
We body-shaming now ?
We're inconsiderate-shaming. We're i-don't-care-how-many-school-kids-i-have-to-wipe-off-my-front-bumper-in-order-to-look-cool-shaming
Where are the HOAs when they could actually be useful for a change...
I want whatever these people are using to get to this headspace...
You mean 16 hours a day of alpha male podcasts and NRA propaganda?
¡Yo tambien! But then again I tried meth once and am not excited to repeat the next day.
A very scared man hides in this thing on his way to an unsatisfying job.
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?
Best part is, this isn't even a diesel. It's got a Hellcat engine. For heavy vehicles you'd want diesel to get good torque and fuel economy. That's why cargo vehicles are almost all diesel powered.
Even if the refineries kept going in the apocalypse, I'm fairly sure places that distribute fuel would be few and far between. This person would have to refuel a LOT... Might not even make it to the next place with fuel.
Us with solar and electric vehicles and bikes have been the actual ones prepping.
This is why my "shit hits the fan" vehicle is a 1982 diesel Mercedes.
That thing will run on anything as fuel. I've tried running it on old used motor oil, used hydraulic oil from my car hoist, lamp oil, and yes ofc used fryer oil.
I'm gonna be cruising in my old ass sedan laughing at the preppers in their modern trucks that can't run on anything but the most pure of fuels without clogging their injectors.
What is your opinion on the Lada ?
Haven't driven anything made in '82, but I'll maintain that my friend's W124 250D was one of the most comfortable car's I've ever driven. It's the suspension, mostly. Nowadays everything is sporty, but I don't want sporty 90% of the time, I want to not feel bumps and shit.
They are so goddamned comfortable, not much difference between the W123 from '82 and a W124 for that.
Though the W124 is a lot better insulated, and thus quite a lot more quiet in the cabin than the W123.
Yeah I'd love a W124 if I didn't need ISOFIX for the foreseeable future. They're just so nice. Particularly if I could get a 300td. Hell I'd probably either keep it stock, or build it to a sensible degree (i.e not a 700hp smoke monster)
Mine is in fact a 700hp smoke monster. On stock 195 tires.
Ha, and it's always something that probably gets like 4mpg.
They don't think. They feel. They're little better than toddlers. You wouldn't ask a child how their blanket is going to protect them from ghosts.
The sheet that ghosts wear can move through most things, but not other bedding.

Notice what you don't see: Any scratches or dirt on it nor mud on any of it's 6 tires. Total pavement princess.
Yeah, like, put that shit in the mud where it belongs you giant ass pussy.
I doubt a custom build can manage a decent 6x6 setup, so it's probably terrible offroad.
Plus it would only be good in flat, open spaces, too big and too long of a wheelbase, the breakover angle sucks, and the approach angle does as well with the stupid grille.
It's an interesting build, but it's probably more art than function.

It exists because many people have more money than brains. As for the decal, what you have there is the 2024 Apocalypse Juggernaut 6x6 . My guess is that the owner is probably 5' 9" and 300 lbs gravy seal with 30 guns and 20,000 rounds of ammunition who thinks he's going to take over Florida when society collapses.
The rugged individualist of the gated community.
If society collapses, if sure his survival instincts will kick in and he will try to buy something else.
If society collapses where is the gas for that thing coming from? Wouldn't an electric car and some solar panels be an objectively better apocalypse vehicle?
Yes, exactly. You need a stable society to run oil refineries and distribute the gasoline to every community. Portable solar panels may be a trickle of energy, but it's still something to juice up an EV that only requires sun. Some EV can also power an extension cord, so they're a mobile back up battery.
Also known as a "loot drop" for the who actually will take over when society collapses
The brand is actually called Apocalypse? Wow 🤦
Even better, it’s not even manual, the thing is a fucking automatic
Googling that truck name appears to show they sell for $250k-$260k. I can think of better things to spend that kind of money on.

Every conversation with the owner: "goddamn gas prices! Stupid liberals!"
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.
Must be a hard life to get laughed at everywhere you go 😄
What’s with the weird archway over the front of the driveway? Is it getting married?

This kind of shit is typical in a lot of upper middle class neighborhoods in FL. You'd see Hummers, pseudo-monster trucks, etc sitting in front of dainty houses with highly manicured lawns. All so that they can drive vehicles that are far more likely to kill people.
