Some form of EV + solar. If oil pumping were to stop today, the difficulty and risk of obtaining gasoline would increase rapidly in a short time.

sailing boat. The men continue to crush each other until they run out of bullets. They will continue to crush each other until they run out of gas. Then comes the part where we look at each other like delicious burritos. Without the need for fuel, it is best to get as far away from everyone as possible and go fishing.

is this this You Will you do it, Biff? Immediately turn on your neighbors until you eat them? Do you think so little of humanity?

Bugatti worth crores will become paper weight. The 240D will continue to run without any parts support or proper diesel fuel.

Something small with a VW TDI in it. Maybe an early Rabbit/Scirocco/Zeta. The most fun would be the Fiat X1/9. You’ll be fast enough to get away from the zombies, but still running on diesel that you can make from all the deep fat fryers from abandoned fast food restaurants.

Did your copy of “Mad Max” have zombies in it? I think we may have seen different versions.

It doesn’t matter to me. I am sure I will be one of the first wave to succumb to the socio-political evils of a crumbling society.

I’m happy to announce that, if you’re still commenting on Jalopnik, you’re not in the first wave.

Not a Dodge one or a big truck one, but the 2012 Long Hauler Concept had a 170-gallon tank that gave it a range of up to 2,800 miles. This will help reduce and minimize the life-or-death fight for fuel. Add a camper and travel the barren wasteland in search of the next fuel supply.

I’ll start with my current vehicle, which is a well built 4Runner. Use it as long as possible, then take the first tech bro I see with an EV truck or SUV out and drive him until I get sick and tired of solar charging, then probably switch to a horse which is what I should have done from the beginning.

Medium duty Unimog from the 80’s or 90’s with the straight 6 diesel engine. It could be powered for the next 100 years by heating oil extracted from the basements of New England homes.

My current mountain bike. Salsa Timberjack frame with drop bars and Fox 130 fork. The brakes and shifters are mechanical so they are easy to fix and do not require batteries. It has all the mounts for my bags and racks so it can easily carry my camping gear and food and water as well as my fishing gear so I can replenish bait with fish.

But:

Let’s be honest: a lone wolf in the face of an apocalypse isn’t something that’s ever really mattered in the history of the world. Lone wolves are picked off, starved to death, and soon forgotten. What matters is uniting and building communities where you can grow food, protect each other, and trade with other communities. This is how humanity has survived till now. The lone wolf is a fantasy, nothing more.

Even in Mad Max, the real survivors are the communities, whether they’re the people who own the refinery or Lord Humungous’s crew. Even Immortan Joe created farms.

You won’t be able to escape the wasteland alone! You need a community.
