If all hell broke loose right now, what would you do?

The Apc/ armoured vehicles are immobilised anyway. The Idea is that you could shut the lid on yourself to avoid being seen and If you put a survival pack in it could be a good refuge. Imagine the tower gets attacked. Tanya jumps into Apc (which is a fancy guard post really) and can wait for back up. Until a behemoth comes.

If you break track you'll be assed out and not to mention that these beasts drink fuel by the gallon.

The best way to go is a nice crew cab pick up. Something with a low profile that you can drive through the doors of a Costco and take all of Britt's stuff and still seat 4-5 people (I'd stick with at least 4 people when doing anything). Weld some chainlink fence on the windsheild and rear window and rebar over the door windows and you're good to go. If you're worried about other survivors shooting at you get some 1 inch steel plates for the doors and around the engine block that you can easily replace and viola' perfect zombie vehicle.

CrowBar I'm resisting posting a picture of a Nissan Frontier LOL!

Leedo! My brother in Arms..even it you're Army! (i'm on a hate Army kick right now due to all the middleman crap you guys do)
Anyway, Fiction wise, auto glass breaks if you breath on it. Real life, a human fist will break before it does any damage. A zombie may not FEEL pain but the law of nature still applies. Hand..glass. Glass wins! hahah.

Ok.. but you would want to reinforce the windows to protect from "Bodies" and objects. I saw a special once on the dynamics of cars vs people (adult and kids). They showed that a lower a car is, the safer it is for an adult because we tend to go over the hood. Kids get squished. The higher it is, the worse it is for adults. We get squished (because we hit the grill) and kids go under the vehicle.
SOOOO, the long rant was to show that you should tailor your vehicle to what you need it for. I'm going out and there's a really high chance of me running into the Infected... i'm going with a Ford Expedition or Honda Passport. Something with a moon roof to shoot from and a higher profile so I can smack creatures with the grill and keep going. Better yet if you put one of those big ass metal "Cow Catcher" grills you see on some trucks.
Oh, and keep resisting my friend.. keep resisting.

What do you think a Behemoth could do to an armored vehicle? In my mind, I don't see them doing to much but scratching there backs like bears use trees. LOL.

Throw it. Against the tower xD

I'm not to sure a behemoth could really do anything to an armoured vehicle. I've taken rounds on an uparmoured Humvee and it literally didn't scratch the paint. Maybe, Maybe a behemoth could flip an armoured vehicle but not likely. If it is not being used for AS a vehicle sure an armoured vehicle might be a good spot to hide, but little else. I'm a tall dude so I'd stay out of them.

Whoa! LOL. We haven't seen any indication of them being that strong. They're big, but probably not super duper strong. If that were the case (this has been talked about before) then they'd have no problem climbing or getting to people who are barricaded and such.
They're tough as hell, but not extra strong. The general consensus is that they have something wrong anatomy wise that keeps them from reaching high stuff, or being able to climb. That would keep them from lifting cars and such as well. Little T-Rex arms or thin, grabby arms with bloated bodies is how I see them

Mofo's would likely be HAF without the engine running too. I've never been in one, but I have been in a Peace Keeper in the summer.. ewww.

Sheeeet you listed all the reasons I want out of the Army LMAO! I'm all on board with the power of the windsheild I like the idea of having a lower profile vehicle (or atleast on in the convoy) that can literally drive into a building and load up supplies and such. I'd resist the moon roof and just shoot out of the open windows, Maybe rig up a bungee so I could prop the door open whilst still having it secured by the frame from opening too far.

All this vehicle talk makes me think that I'd just get a VW bus or an old Ford pickup. The maintenence would be a hell of alot easier and without all the transmission computers and added electronic stuff that could go wrong.

There is a difference between concrete and reenforeced steel. One man with a sledge hammer can bust up a wall and get into the tower given enough time. That same dude couldn't do a thing against a tanks armour. Now maybe it could rip off a hatch but pretty unlikely.
