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.

Now why the hell would you resist the moon roof man! It's safe. It ain't Somalia man! Just some dead or infected fools running around. You're in a big ass Chevy Tahoe. You can fire at will (if you know which one is will) ROFL!
Sorry for that one. Ahem.. ANYWHOOOO,
Stable firing position when it's static and a pretty good one when it's moving. If you're a skinny mofo, then 2 people can shoot from it. You also get a 360 degree view
I agree that an older car would be better. There'd be plenty of places to get spare parts. BUT, then again, get me a Toyota and I don't have to worry about it going Kaput anyway.

Ok when we talk about something running THROUGH walls I kind of assume its strong.

ARMY strong, maybe?

I'm not sure, but I sure wouldn't want to try it. Possiby it could drag you off and then the others could just wait you out. Thats why it would only be any good if you had others to rescue you. Like a bank vault.

You only have to be Big, heavy and tough to run through stuff (my opinion). Now, if he was punching and pulling support beams down....
I think if that were the case then Skittles, Kalani and Angel woudn't have been safe in the water tower. It would have just pulled it down. Again, only my opinion and how I see the Behemoth.

My thoughts exactly, post SHTF grab something 30 or 40 years old, pre fuel injected & computerized, only thing the average person can do with modern cars is change the oil, top up the water & replace spark plugs, even with a workshop manual these new cars want to be treated in weird ways, like having to run the car while stationary at idle for up to half an hour to reset the computer ignition & timing, not an option post SHTF with limited fuel supplies, better to junk it & grab something older.

I think it must be pretty strong, even if its strength doesn't grow in line with size, I'm guessing it would push around an APC. Which in my case is pretty rusty and old.

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!

How about an airship? There are more modern ones being designed for
spying, and can stay up for months and months. Also they're designed so that when shot they come down very gradually. And are filled with helium so they won't go up in a fireball.

You really want to be somewhere where you can grow a little fruit & vegetables, having 12 months worth of Rations may sound like a good idea but they have an effect on your body in ways you just don't want to know about, for sanity & sanitary reasons I'd say the average person couldn't endure more than about 2 weeks worth before you'd have a mutiny on hand.
