anyone else notice the "legalize pot " graffiti .
but really why add something that will decrease the performance of the vehicle obviously they don't know about approach angles but yeah it looks like Andres 1st gen bumper gone wrong like he said.

Interesting writeup in the article. Although it is proclaimed as a good zombie escape vehicle it looses some cred as there are, contrary to TV, no such thing as zombies.

No such thing as a zombie, that's a laugh. Don't get into the big cities much do you. :lol:

Let's see...Been to Rome, no zombies. Been to Paris, no zombies. Been to San Francisco, no zombies. Sort of big cities in my book.
Live in Denver (pop 600,158) and live less than a mile from a grave yard, no zombies. Sort of beats out Coeur d'Alene (pop 44,137) for big city.
So...no, I still don't believe in zombies. :twisted:

OH, been to Coeur d'Alene...no zombies.

Let's go hunting.....are you game? :lol:

WARNING: A Zombie Apocalypse is not a joke and is something to be taken seriously. The recommended escape vehicle escape in the event of a Zombie Apocalypse is the Steyr-Puch Pinzgauer (see article above for more information.) This mode of transport is capable of carrying up to eight human passengers in the highest degree of safety and mobility of any road going vehicle. Please be sure to arm yourself to fend of zombie attacks (shotguns and high-powered rifles are preferable) and, as always, be sure to shoot zombies in the head. For more detailed information, please see the book The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks for clear information on how to stay alive during the Zombie Apocalypse.

...and the professor states “Studying ancient biblical texts isn't most people's cup of tea,” he said. “But, when you add zombies, it instantly becomes everyone's cup of tea.”
It's a course in religious studies that had little draw till they threw in zombies.

I'm waiting for a correspondence course in snipe hunting. Then they'll get my money.

This is going to need a new thread soon. :roll:

It's cold here and I'm bored...can you tell?

Hmmm, I didn't realize that Zombies tasted so good! :lol: They must desolve easily in tea. The heck with shotguns and high powered rifles, just use a squirt gun full of tea! :twisted:

Why do you think I moved to Idaho.

Having spent years living in Los Angles and Hollywood I know zombies when I see them. Some of the neighbors I worked in were worse than others however you can spot them everywhere. :shock:
Kind of like the people that tell me there aren't any wolves where I live now. At least the wolves seem to keep the zombies in check. :lol:

Prof,

If I could get to your part of the world sometime, I might be warm but certainly not bored. There is so much to see and I would enjoy the guru time. So much to learn about
the things I have seen that you do. I have been to events where your name is mentioned as a truly knowledgable individual regarding the mechanical aspects of the pinz.
