If there’s one thing dudes love, it’s debating hypotheticals, particularly if they involve the end of the world — bonus points if they also involve cars. One Twitter user — Sam Parr, a self-described “hustler and serial entrepreneur” — achieved the trifecta recently after asking his followers what their “end of the world car” would be. Oh, and the car can’t cost more than $100k, and has to be built to last for at least 20 years.

Parr tweeted that he was leaning toward a new diesel F-250, although others pointed out that an old F-250 might be better since it can run off used motor oil and a lot of fuel would go bad after one year. Others suggested electric vehicles for the end of the world, since they can make electricity themselves, while some Tesla fans suggested the Cybertruck with solar panels as their preferred mode of transport after the apocalypse.


Many men took the question quite seriously, thinking about the kind of vehicle they’d need to traverse all sorts of terrain and taking their cues from the kinds of cars that are popular in countries with rough terrain. Along these lines, one man suggested buying a secondhand Toyota Land Cruiser. A quick scroll through the replies suggests that Land Cruisers are one of the most popular choices for a set of post-apocalyptic wheels, so hopefully there are enough available for everyone to nab once the apocalypse hits.



Others committed to the bit instead, with one person suggesting a 1993 white Ford Bronco, because it can “survive anything: indictments, a police chase, anything.” Meanwhile, another Twitter user plans on rolling around in an Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, hopefully continuing the tradition of handing out free hot dogs — we could use the morale boost in the post-apocalyptic wasteland.



One Twitter user felt they were all wrong, however, and that the real answer to the question is the humble bicycle. Matthew Lewis wrote, “At the ‘end of the world,’ the biggest gun fights will be at the gas stations, where drivers will slaughter each other trying to make it the next ~ 400 miles.”


Provided you can peddle incredibly fast and outrun all the angry guys in Land Cruisers, a bicycle is a fantastic idea for getting around in a dystopian hellscape. Lewis doesn’t seem all that concerned, however, telling a Twitter user who remarked, “Have fun being ran over,” that he’s a “perfect shot from 50 yards,” urging him to “come at me bro.”


Keep an eye out for the bicycle gangs made up of crack shots once the apocalypse hits, I guess!
