The Simpsons did it!

LOL, Well maybe not the Simpsons, but this has already been featured in Off-Road Magazine. and on a dozen other sites.

However, the Unicat EX70-HDQ is a sweet ride. I have seen one that was made for and upcoming movie where it was made to look like a post apocalyptic command post. It is just one of the biggest things Ive seen on the road, and that is its biggest, no pun intended, drawback. Taking this down a 3rd world road would require testicles milled from titanium. Think about crossing a rickety back country bridge, winding this Behemoth around a forest, or simply trying to get across a busy city like Mumbai, Mexico City, or Cairo. This is a cool Idea and I would love to get to drive one, but I think we haven’t seen many vehicles like this on the road for a reason.

The perfect vehicle for postapocalyptia, just make one that can run on bio-diesel.

Its a nice home. I’ve seen Mexicans live in less space than that.

I bet that fruit bowl needed re-arranging.

It is nice and it should be customized to fulfill the special requirement. But to consider something in detail, the price should be known. Exact evaluation can be done by considering all the items as price and the utility.
