Herb, Are You SURE This Is What Earthlings Drive?
Submitted by: Tim M via Submit a Kludge!
Just wait, when the Fallout universe comes true as Bethesda studios has foretold, then everyone will be driving one of these.

And it _still_ looks less ridiculous than a Crown Vic on 30″ rims. Or anything with spinners.
My jeep when i get done modifying it will be the best apoc-icle ever.
NO everyone will be riding unicorns duh.
And it will be a lot more fun after all the “good” people get raptured.
you sir are a god
As long as it’s a robot unicorn.
On a mattel hoverboard!
whilst in an X-wing
mattel hoverboards who needs does it would clearly be a delorian with a mounted railgun

Still, I NEED that “car”.
The only kludge in there is trying to open that back door.
The rest belongs on ihavenoshame.com, it’s not fixing anything.
I agree with bob_super. No kludge here. Was Frankie moderating, “That will buff out” before his promotion?
Agreed. Cool ridiculous vehicle, but where’s the kludge, folks? Those bars on top are very pretty, but they’re not powering it or anything. Isn’t this just a pimped ride?
Wrong, it is so, the top is making shade which makes it
20 degrees cooler inside
Best post apocalyptic vehicle is the Landmaster from the movie Damnation Alley. They actually built this thing.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmaster
I came here to say the same thing. Seconded.
I agree, that was a beast!!!
Hej…taht’s my answer! =)
http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/damnation-alley-vehicle.jpg
Loved that tri-wheel-axled vehicle. It also appeared in “Road Warrior” commercials for some gas station.
My thought exactly! Landmaster was ‘da bomb’….
Yup, that’s the one.
Thirded. I think the M577 is a cheap knock-off of the Landmaster.
no. dead reckoning from L O T D has epic zombie pwning missile launchers… and fireworks!
cant beat fireworks…
Indeed.
I concur. The Landmaster is hands-down the best post apocalyptic vehicle. An RV for your trip through Hell!
This is what my link failed to display. First time posting here. What image code is used for pics? Did I just botch my HTML?
plus one on damnation alley vehicle.
Second choice would be that thing they used in “Ark II” Sid & Marty Krofft show (oops, is my age showing?)
http://www.angelfire.com/tv2/ark2/images/blueprint1.jpg
thirded or … fourthed?
the engineer/mechanic was a genius !!! i really wanted one of these …
er… vehicles!
This is an example of the new Mobile Cyronic Storage Facility Vehicle (MCSFV-Ted Williams Special Edition) Interior temperture always at least minus 500 degrees C.
That’s an astonishing temperature considering that 0 Kelvin equals only -273.15 degrees C.
Everyone knows it takes more than absolute zero to stop the Splendid Splinter’s molecular motion.
Ok, so Mad Murdock will be on the platform and Hannibal in the trunk, Face and Baracus at the front…
Wait, who forgot the gun slits so we can fire 6000 bullets without hitting anyone, and why did they replace our GMC with this crummy minivan? We shouldn’t have signed for the movie without checking the props first, I’m telling you…
Somehow, this vehicle would look right at home in Roswell, New Mexico, parked in front of the Al-e-Inn. I suspect the roof rack is for supporting costumed aliens for the annual parade.
“Fallout universe comes true as Bethesda studios has foretold”
I think you mean interplay, good sir.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fallout_%28series%29
Interplay might have started it, but Bethseda is most certainly making it now.
Interplay’s Fallout 1+2 are really great (and the ones where you get to use a vehicle) but Fallout 3 has a very special place in my heart.
: )
Not only that, but since it’s a universe that split off from ours in 1942, it never will.
In 1972 a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. These men promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a problem, if no one else can help, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team.
The train from Mad max (2, I think). better than a van.
Toyota Hilux
IDK though, My dad’s ’99 Ranger might give it a run for it’s money.
Seconded. Who knows, you might find one parked on top of a tall building. Quick bit of dynamite and you’re good to go.
3rd for Landmaster.
best apocolyptic ride would either be a Landmaster from Starfox, or the Batmobile.
The actual Batmobile would be my favourite, too…where can i buy it?
I suppose it doesn’t quite count since it didn’t happen *after* an apoc, but Buckaroo Banzai’s land speed testing jet car would do me just fine.
http://www.tacomaworld.com/gallery/data/500/badass_hilux.jpg
Best post-apoc vehicle? I agree with the above posters who nominated the Landmaster. Second best? The Toyota Hilux from Top Gear.
me too!
That sucks! He will never be able to use the drive through…. Ronald McDonald is channelling Pagliacci at this very moment.
This looks like something Top Gear would do.
That thing on the top is an electrified platform for Cole McGrath to stand on so he can have unlimited energy for taking out the First Sons.
If you have no idea what I’m talking about, we can’t be friends.
Writing in a vote for KITT
I love how the majority, like myself, has chosen the Hoverboard.
I agree with Great Scott “Best post apocalyptic vehicle is the Landmaster from the movie Damnation Alley. They actually built this thing.”
Optimus made-on-a-Dime
OHHHHH! “VRRRRROOM!” Yop yop yop yop yop! “VRRRRROOM!” Yop yop yop yop yop!
Spectrum Pursuit Vehicle, from Captain Scarlet.
This belongs to the Daleks. You can tell by the trashcan siding, the tube coming out from the hood, and the tinfoil siding. I even bet this is a Hybrid, running on Gas-Progenator engine.
That’s the only place the dude is safe from the gubb’mint mind control beams
I’ll have to go for Damnation Alley’s Landmaster even though I’ve driven the same Toyota Hilux pickup for 21 years…
A magic ride involves me and the new cast of Charlie’s Angels. Oh hell, the old cast will do as well.
I believe the roof rack…thing is there to tap into overhead power lines used by public transport in some cities (San Francisco comes to mind).
Bat-mobile.
the bike from akira totally wins
No!! like in Supernatural, what Sam and Dean drive!! A Black 1967 Chevy Impala SS!!!!!!!!! thats exactly what i would drive =)
So apparently, the same illegal alien, that learned English from watching Twilight on DVD, writes ll the polls?
all*
How about a Delorean time machine?
its a baby transformer that still needs some schooling. hasn’t quiet figured how how to hold it all in.
the general lee, the original kitt, the a team van,… staying alive in style
Two words: Damnation Alley
I voted for the 577 APC just because it’s an awesome
Without easy ground access while in motion, looks like they solved the problem of hop-ons.
Batmobile. I mean, c’mon.
The Deathrace Dreadnought.
Big, armored, plenty of selection of ways to deal with inconsiderate motorists (and shambling zombies alike.) Just has a slight allergy to sudden appearing immovable objects.
http://image.hotrod.com/f/10813614/hrdp_0808w_03_z_death_race+dodge_ford+attacked_by_dreadnought.jpg
Be sure to load LOTS of allergy medication for the truck its allergic reactions can be…Explosive ( yeah i’ve seen death race, yeah, im only 13) You sir are made of pure win just for suggesting it
The Delorian from Back to the Future, of course!
that…WITH A LASAH!!!!
IMA FIRIN MY LASAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!!!!!
Another write-in for Damnation Alley’s Landmaster. Of the choices given, only the hoverboard has any ground clearance to speak of, and it doesn’t work over water – even shallow water. What, you think you’re going to have paved roads everywhere you need to go?
So the Landmaster it is, with a squadron of Toyota Hiluxes (Hiluxen?) for scouts.
tank girl’s tank ftw!!!!!
I’d take either the Dreadnaught like Conreeaght or the Dead Reckoning. If I could take it as well, the jetpack from Killzone Liberation would be stowed close to hand.
Does BttF count as “post-apocalyptic”? Hardly a dystopian environment, 2015 Hill Valley.
*BttF2, my bad.
the hoverboard is from the future, but idk if it counts a post-apocalyptic.
the turbo interceptor from The Wraith, cmon!

Best post apocalyptic vehicle is the floppy plastic Batmobile from the überfailed Batman TV series which should be honored by its own Cheezburger website !
M1A1 abram
It’s the van from Honey, I Blew Up The Kid!
Hi-Mars because who doesnt want to fire MANY missles at a freaking horde of opocolyptic awesomeness
You were close with the APC, but no cigar. The best is the UD-4L Cheyenne Utility Dropship, also from the movie Aliens.
Landmaster from Damnation Alley!!!
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landmaster
Sorry to shatter the illusion, but Its clearly a burning man mutant vehicle. The rails on the top are folks standing on the platform on the roof.
My vote is for the car from Army of Darkness. Not only do you have higher seating so you can see whats going on, but it has spinning blades of death on the front and the rear end shoots fire!! Plus you can apparently make it using materials available in the 1300s so long as you have a college textbook on engineering.
none of you have ever driven a Warthog, have you?
http://www.techeblog.com/index.php/tech-gadget/feature-life-sized-halo-warthog-vehicle-in-the-wild
I’m sorry but the ride from Damnation Alley is the best vehicle for post apocalyptic life.
http://img2.moonbuggy.org/imgstore/damnation-alley-vehicle.jpg
And here’s another vote for the Landmaster. Too bad the movie sucked.
I would have to disagree with all of them because i believe the motorcycles from Terminator 4 would take it. http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/jalopnik/2009/01/Terminator_Salvation_Motorcycle.jpg
Best Post-Apocalyptic Ride:
The Cryslys Highwayman from Fallout 2
For those who don’t remember: Interplay created Fallout before Bethesta got a hold of the liscence
Well, this one’s not technically post-apoc, but Buckaroo Banzai’s HB-88 Jet Car is pretty much an epic kludge — far and away more than Doc Brown’s DeLorean.
The ultimate post-apocalyptic vehicle is the Landmaster, you whipper snappers! (“Damnation Alley” 1976, George Peppard, Jan-Michael Vincent)
I wote for the amish-car (it got a full horsepower and sometimes two). da’h..
Best Post-Apocalytic Ride:
Death Star
Damnation Alley gets my vote!
Eric Cartman’s Hippie Digger. http://files.myopera.com/Stomyr/files/hippie%20digger.jpg
Just Put the Ghostbuster’s logo in the doorside you have the Ecto2 car.
http://www.snowcrest.net/fox/landmaster/
damnation alley landmaster gets my vote!
Hl2 Jalpoy is the best
Don’t forget your metal spagetti strainer for helmet that picks up alien signals! Imagine living next door to that….ya it’s the house NEXT to treadmill duct taped on top the van…..
The Batmobile, as seen in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight
I thought i recognized this when i saw the picture! You can find this vehicle over by general hospital in San Francisco, in one of the side streets near the parking structure. Pretty sure it’s one of the Burning Man vehicles, either that or someone is trying to hook their car up to the city electric lines that the Bus transit system uses. (Haven’t ever seen it driven around, it’s just parked there all the time dammit. still would be intresting to see happen.
you can live in it, carry fuel and best of all have enough power to drive through any thing

“The way I see it, if you’re gonna build a time machine into a car, why not do it with some style”? – Dr. Emmett Brown
Michael Jackson turning into that awesome car in moonwalker
the truck from the recent death race movie
No, no, no.
Best Post Apocalyptic ride is the
Landmaster from Damnation Alley,
not that many of you are old enough to remember that movie….wait, how do I remember that movie, I’m 20
I choose the Vertibird from the Fallout series. Helicopters are way better than cars.
What about KNIGHT RIDER ? xD
Oh man, epic fail on the poll… Max did not drive a Pursuit Special. His car, unlike all the others, was an “Interceptor.” Thus, he could catch the stolen Pursuit Special. “Interceptor” was clearly written across the back of his car, where the other’s said “Pursuit.” Don’t you pay attention when you watch epic movies? Didn’t you notice that important bit of information in the 40 odd times you watched it? What’s wrong with you?
Pursuit Specials… bah, that’s what the rookies drove… just a bunch of expendable red-shirts dressed up in leather. Kids these days, they just don’t pay attention.
Oh, yeah, Max’s Blown Interceptor defines “Best Post Apocalyptic Ride,” not that I’ve seen any of those new movies…
As for the post topic, clearly a case of too much time and not nearly enough Duct Tape.
No, No the best post-apocalyptic is Judge Dredd’s Lawmaster Motorcycle
X-303 “Prometheus” spaceship
