If you can get them stuffed into the hole, I think that you can run this one on zombies.

The Delorean with the Mr Fusion is tough to beat; if the Unimog is an oil burner, that would be # 1, since it actually exists, I would think something more fuel efficient would be better. All wheel drive would be nice, so you could run over the zombies if needed. How about a Suzuki Samurai like the guy on the corner has, maybe uparmor it a little, I bet you could do layers of carbon fiber and kevlar on the inside of the hard top

They do about 30 or 40mph - Definitely not slow.

paul, you have shown that you're the man of style and taste. the only thing i would suggest is that you add a '97 hammerpump to your war bag. let me know if you need a sidekick.

It's not the vehicle that matters. It's the payload...

Doka Mogs are my favorite. I want a 416 Doka in Silver.

Ya'll shoot. I'll herd em' into a make shift corral. As a bonus, they should be easy to rope, being that they are slow and all.

You and Paul make a fine point. If I may change my ride of choice...

I hope that Unimog makes it. All that articulation doesn't do so well on trailers. My friend was towing his 'mog across the San Mateo Bridge on San Francisco Bay when frequencies and oscillations nearly landed him in the drink:

I have seen that video before! That is why you chain them down from the frame and not just the axle. Mine is coming on a 54' trailer towed by a semi, so I think this will not be happening to mine. Should just beat the snow on Monday! Here is a link to the show 101 cars you must drive, with the very truck I just got!
