Bradley or an M-133 is also a tough one to go with. 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.
