The offbeat vehicle is probably going to catch the attention of those who have already built bomb shelters and have years supplies of food on hand. This is definitely a car that’s well-prepared for the possibility of the dead creeping back up.

According to Uncrate, the features of the car include everything from a "custom zombie plow" to "armored window coverings." Owners of this car will be laughing at the site of a zombie.
