Default Which Vehicle?

I considered putting this in OT, but figured I'd rather hear the opinions of folks that I actually know just for LULZ...

Most of us in the Mid-A own multiple vehicles, but in the event of an emergency [i.e. Zombie Apocalypse] if it were time to just "grab your sh*t and go" which car/truck/bike are you taking?

I love my Z to death, but it gets sh*tty mileage, can't haul much, and can't clear anything higher than a large speed bump. Kills me to say I'm rolling out in my ODC [Ol Dirty Corolla].

Which one you taking?

I'd take the wrx. It's AWD, holds some supplies and is even faster than NA Z's. (especially if they are autos)

What did your wrx run, slim? I know you posted it, but I can't remember what it was.

Consider that my 350z doesn't run, I guess I'm taking my xB? Now to really think about it... mpg does matter in this sort of event!

+1 SHTF = Jeep

If I had limited fuel and an easy way out the Focus.

With 1 person and I need to haul, the Z gets it, good luck catching me in that (pending running lol)

Same as above but alone and good weather? Motorcycle gets the nod.

2500 burb is 39g. I would want diesel in a zombie apocalypse situation, though.

LOL! Stock Evo?
A stock Evo is very limited to just tarmac. Not because you have a button that says "gravel" and "snow" means you can take it off-road. The car is 2 inches off the ground with summer tires. Good luck getting anywhere with that.

If you want something off road, you need something like a Jeep, truck, Rover, etc... with proper MS tires.

Dunno, you have to run almost over a second faster to beat the wrx. But hey, it could be possible.
