I agree with you. There are other vehicles that would be more useful, such as a helicopter, but their level of practicality is horrid.gamefreakbsp said:
Plus, I already have three pickup trucks
[Edit]: I would also like to suggest the use of my Jeep. It's the same as a truck, but with better gas mileage and an enclosed bed.

But if none could be found Audi r8, or Mitsubishi evo 10 with a big gas tank to get away from heavily populated areas while the zombie numbers are low. Then SUV lots of room carrying capacity. Dont want more than two people. Problem with trucks is the open bed stuff could fall out get destroyed in rain or sun bloody from hitting zombies.
Let survival begin.

If you could nab an empty cruise ship or large boat at a dock and grab some supplies you would be set for a couple of months. Of course learning how to steer it may be a problem, there would probably be some foodstuffs on board and you could always try your hand at fishing. Not the best long term plan but most likely a pretty secure short term.
I agree with this, it is like a large moving fortress. Gas would be impossible to get though.boxcat said:Good luck finding a helicopter, learning how to fly it, finding fuel for it, and landing on buildings. that is hard.Guy32 said:
This is what you need
Just put some extra armaments on it and even if you run out of fuel, it will take the zombies a while to get to ya.
Boat, so long as you're near a suitable body of water, it has a powerful motor and a good supply of fuel, and a sail you can extend. Plus a solar powered water desalinator, fishing equipment, dehydrated rations to fill in any nutritional gaps, a good supply of toilet tissue, a reasonable level of armaments (with yourself and any other trusted person who comes along carrying their own suicide bullet/pill), medical supplies and diversions to while away the months.
Whizz out to the middle of the ocean pronto, hope the disease only affects humans (or at least, land animals) because if you get zombie sharks or giant squid you are SO boned. Wait sufficient time for what remains of their bodies to fall to a state of complete uselessness through physical damage and continued decay, or better armed and trained folks to deliver serious, possibly nuclear-backed beatdowns. Return under sail when all the fuel and food has been used up to face the brave new world and whatever your inevitable fate is.
Failing that, a spaceship. Typically the contagion comes from the stars, so you may as well take the fight to the source.
Anything that has to stay on land fails, unless you can keep on the move fast enough and far enough each day to be able to catch some rest without being caught up to and attacked by the shambling but tireless undead. And the otherwise heavyweight body of even a truck is nothing once they start to go to work on it, should they get opportunity (you can't run ALL of them down). Cars were good in Shaun of the Dead, but they were only on the road for a very short time. Motorbike is just asking for trouble.
Almost anything that flies is a very bad idea as you will be out of fuel before you know it, and have to find an airfield with leftover supplies. Plus unless it's a fairly large (and therefore thirsty) vehicle, there's even less space inside then a car or truck, and just as few ameneties.
A very well armoured and supplied RV, with an internal auxiliary fuel tank and the ability to anchor itself to the ground MAY work, but doesn't have the endurance of a fisherman with a sail. Ditto an airship, though you could try to snare passing birds if you're not concerned about them either suffering from or vectoring the Z-virus...
*-chan answer: F40PH! It even has an onboard toilet-cum-secret-hiding place.

I'd want a good 4WD with a huge fuel tank, something I could take off-road easily, luggage rack on the roof, plenty of room in the back, bull bar on the front for hitting zombies. If I had time I'd lower all the window that I could and weld/bolt a sturdy meshing on to to window frames, something that you could point a gun barrel out of, but a hand couldn't fit through. I'd want to fix bars over the front wind screen. I'd have a radio set, plenty of food, water, ammo and misc supplies.
I'd also have a trailer for long trips on fair even roads, something that could carry extra fuel and water.
Of course once I've established a zombie fortress I'd empty all the supplies and use to gather more stuff I've salvaged.
I would also have a bike, either motor or cycle, which I'd carry on the roof for short distances and scouting.

a tank, duh!
i did pick the helicopter though, cos that'd make escaping to a remote island significantly easier.

Nuclear powered armoured landship, complete with Gardens for food... It's like a nuclear bunker except it moves.
Else you can't go wrong with a diesel HiLux. Heck seal up the gaps, add an improvised hull and put an outboard on the back and you're now amphibious. ( Top gear is awesome )

Airplane, more specifically a F-18. Fly fast and low, blowing the shit out of everything. Land on a carrier, repeat. I'd need the carrier to be crewed by a few thousand. So I guess a combination of boat/airplanes would be best. Then only send raiding partys ashore with air support to collect supplies every few months.
