People that drive cars like that aren't professionals, they're idiots with a need to show off the size of their wallet and/or peepee
Modern day trolley problem. Do you ram the Dodge Ram?
Dodge the ram or ram the Dodge.
The original post was on reddit, a few years ago.
That's not even a big one by US standards.
Serious question: are you joking? We have a Doge Ram in my area and it's massive and it sends a lot of small pp vibes and now you are telling me, it isn't even that big.
At least I have the true freedom: no speed limit.
Why would you even do that? Give that asshole a fat ticket for doing something like that
Trust me, if I were in charge of tramway clearance management, I would sound an annoying alarm at the vehicle, before having it be towed. Trying to tell the owner that they have until the tow truck arrives to remove the truck.
Too bad the tram havent hit his car
This was taken BEFORE tram went to ramming speed.
And the orange man doesn't understand why Europeans don't want to buy American cars. :\
hey. we zijn allemaal Van Oranje!
Great car for the first few weeks of a zombie apocalypse.
Not great for any other situation.
How would you navigate that through streets full of abandoned vehicles and debris? A bicycle is quiet, faster than a human or zombie, easy to service, easy to navigate and even carry where it can't go, and don't require fuel. If you want something faster and fuel driven, a motorcycle would be better than any car.
Oh I wouldn't. The Dodge Ram would most likely serve as an excellent vehicle for transporting stuff. I'd do it as in project zomboid - drive the car to the border of the city, loot, bring loot back to the car, rinse and repeat until the car is full, then it goes back to base.
On top of that, the dodge ram has significantly more horsepower and can waltz through small and medium-sized zombie hordes without slowing down too much.
I see you've thought about this.
I've just seen one too many winters with icy roads and cars being stuck and (temporarily) abandoned making roads between towns unusable for a while.
I imagine that but worse with everyone fleeing the city and getting turned, being unprepared for a journey, running out of gas all over the place - not just cities. Maybe they can go off-road and get around a perpendicularly abandoned vehicle or two but eventually there will be an obstacle no truck can bridge.
So for me, I think two wheels for mobility. But that would also depend on what kind of zombie and what kind of apocalypse. Are they fast or slow; do they hunt by ear, sight, smell; is it almost instantaneous or after a year-long pandemic, do they travel in pack or avoid each other, how do they perish, etc.
Haven't really thought about it, it's more a "I played 600 hours of project zomboid" lmao.
But ye, depends on a lot of factors - if we assume slow moving zombies that tend to be at the same locations, a large car like a dodge ram would be awesome ngl.
*days or even hours, until you run out of gas.
Well, if I had such a car, I'd probably make it my mission to take over a petrol station or something similar so I have a steady supply for now.
There is something poetic about this image and how the USA "fits" in with the rest of the world.
