Ya you could just switch to another one but then you'd have to rearmor and etc. and in the long run your more likely to find parts and be able to work on a old chev or ford anyway. With them you won't have to worry about all the electronic's in these new cars. I work at a auto parts store so I know that most people don't know anything past a basic tune up so messin with all that will not turn out good. Now I'm not trying to be mean but that's just that way it is. But if I had a chose I would go with one or two options. A 68 comaro with a setup similar setup from the punisher movie with thomas jane where they have sliding metal window sheilds. They have have large engine bays so their easy to work on and suped up. The other thing I'd add would be a tow hitch for one of those small closed in uhaul trailers. Their ideal for haulin supplies and you can unhook it and hide it. You could also sleep in it if needed. The other one I would choose would be an old pickup and what I'd really like to find a old steel twinkie trailer. Those you could have some fun with. But the best chose would be a camper on the back like in the first xmen. It would need some major armor upgrades but I think it would be worth it. But no matter what you get a good mountin bike is a must. Just make sure you have patches! lol Update 1: Choosing vechicle’s

I'm a military vet and I've been to Iraq. Point is, I've learned about some ingenious ways to explode things. Here's my plan: 1. Armament - Blades aren't useless here. The truth is, I'd rather have a really sharp samurai type sword than a gun in this instance. My weapons of choice - A samurai sword and a shotgun, hand grenades if available (won't be). 2. Gather necessities - As much food and water as possible. Canned goods - as many as possible. Warm clothing and raingear. It's tough to fight if you're cold, wet and miserable. Trust me. Oh, yeah- Get tons of matches, lighters, fertilizer (great explosive when doused with fuel) and fuel. Some old rags and all the liquor bottles you can find (preferably full) for Molotov cocktails. Keep a full bottle in case you get bitten. Then you can at least turn into a zombie drunk. Drinks, anyone? 3. Fighting position - Take high ground. The roof of my apartment complex would do. Re-inforce the perimeter. Set boobie traps and rig an explosive vest to yourself. I'm taking as many of them as I can with me when the time inevitably comes. 4. Take a drink and get ready to wreck shop! This post first had me laughing, then thinking “What if?” I’m a military vet and I’ve been to Iraq.

I know the lay out and I know that I could ether change it into a long term place or just a quick stop for the night. There's several places that have food around it. It has it's own machine shop and gen. so it will have power and way of to repair most things. There's a fenced in area in the rear of the store that would be ideal for getting in and out of car without the fear of zed's getting you.It has a second floor that I could easly set up to be a fall back with no way for the zed's to get at. I agree that even a light form of body armor should be a must to anyone's zed backup plan. As weapons go a 22 with scope for huntingn (ammo shouldn't be to hard cause most poeple will go for something bigger). A pump shot gun for muti zed's in close quarters it also could be a sawed off so you can turn with it better. A pistol of some make for more fine tunning with making deals with fellow survivors. I think a sword is another must if you really think about how many different ways it can be used sure a ax might be shorter but that is not always a good thing when something is tring to eat you. A group should only be 3-6 people but anymore then that you will start to attract unwonted attention from zed's or other survivors. If you haven't seen it there was a reality show on Discovery channel about a group of people who had to survive and they had some good ideas.
