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."

How are they not ashamed? Id rather drive a hotdog car. This screams doing douchebagness like nothing else.

Douchebags often don't know they are douchebags.

By hot dog car, do you mean the oscar myer weinermobile?

Because......lets be real. That would just be cool to drive, and your comparison falls flat. It's like seeing a dog eating shit on the ground, and saying "Ew! I'd rather eat bacon....."

Well. Yeah. Shit is shit, and bacon is awesome. It's not much of a comparison....

My city bike has seen more offroad mud than this emotional support vehicle.

It'll never even be on a gravel road.

The best vehicle for the apocalypse is unironically a bike. Powered by you, fixable by you, easy to carry as a last resort.

How are you ever gonna fix this monster when it breaks down ? Do you really think you're going to find more than a single day's worth of fuel with this horrendous gas mileage ?

The windshield is smaller then the side windows. You cant see anything out of that. Many things are insane about this vehicle, but that has to be the most insane

I feel like I've seen these monstrosities in traffic before lol

🤣 What an impractical, stupid line of vehicles. There's also something hilarious about being "built for the apocalypse" but also having a "luxury interior" and "premium audio." Anyone who'd buy one must be so deeply unserious, and I hope constantly made fun of.

Didn't one of these make an appearance in Sharknado?

The owner probably thinks the truck is as badass as that lion statue

It's the arch that sells it for me.

"Honey, we need a "crossing the Rubicon" moment to add significance to every entry/exit of our castle. Any ideas?"
