RCAF,

I would probably go for the 4-Runner for maintenance and utility value. One thing that always made me shake my head was how the Humvee was faster than a civilian 3/4-ton truck on the road. Not just the same, but faster. I guess the rationale is that the roads are not perfect and over a 4-hour stretch there will be a certain amount of "off-roading" around detours and obstacles, through shellholes and potholes so the Humvee's greater rough-road mobility tells in the long run, but still.

As tempting as the Weiner Mobile (with a mounted AGL, of course) would be, I'd go for the Ranger. More of a gas guzzler than the others, but also able to haul more cargo/people around. And if push comes to shove, you can always turn it into a technical.

I'd also consider the Civic. It's small, but super-common, and often modified. Lots of people would have the skills to keep one going for a long time. And what I really mean by super-common is that it's easily replacable.

LOL The Weiner Mobile is WAY COOLER!...and you can mount a MaDeuce over the passenger seat and a pair of Miniguns back in the cooking area!!!!

CA,

That reminds me, one of the PCs in my game drives a red '69 Mercury Cougar Eliminator:

Strange enough when me and my brother talked about the Weiner Mobile, we though it would cool to own and drive around, but our wives correct us saying NO it was NOT COOL to own and under no curcastances would they be caught dead in it

and on a side not I would'nt change the cooking area at all. I mean you can cook back there. Find a"meat soruce" and you can make and cook "hot dogs"

Can you name the truck with four wheel drive,
Smells like a steak, and seats thirty five?
Canyonero! Canyonero!

Well, it goes real slow with the hammer down,
It's the country-fried truck endorsed by a clown,
Canyonero! Canyonero!

Hey, hey!

Twelve yards long, two lanes wide,
Sixty five tons of American pride!
Canyonero! Canyonero!

Top of the line in utility sports,
Unexplained fires are a matter for the courts!
Canyonero! Canyonero!

She blinds everybody with her super high beams,
She's a squirrel-squashin', deer-smackin' drivin' machine,
Canyonero! Canyonero! Canyonero!

Whoa, Canyonero! Whoooooaaaa!
