Anyone ever play that game from like 94, Zombies ate my neighbors?
In the game, I clearly remember fighting off vampires, werewolves, huge demonic babies.
Now, Who said the zombies will come alone?
Like previously stated. You can never be to ready =D

And, I think Lining the rims would look so BA

i know that geeze....but it's always fun to watch a zombie walk in circles on fire and eventually die!!!! (might take a little longer but a little more entertaining)

Also, fire is always good weather to burn zombies or people it makes things interesting!!

YouTube Video
If you are able to see this message it means that you don't have flash installed or that the video server is down.

Ok another question about this. If a Zombie has no problem biting through your head and eating your brain how is a cardboard toilet paper roll going to stop them and protect you?

A note on fire, Yes it will kill the zombie (as it cooks the brain) however a zombie on fire is nothing more than a hazard to you and your surroundings. Case in point you use a "fire bomb" to light a zombie up, He, not feeling pain, will continue to peruse you and intern ignite everything around him (even other zombies).

My roommate has been going on about the imminent zombie attack for years. I always thought it was a joke, until I read this and then started poking around here. Now I realize it's only a matter of time I don't have any plans to convert my X to a ZAPV, though if I built one I would look for some sort of a diesel powered vehicle.

btw, the tailgate graphic is hilarious, for now...

I was thinking about starting a web page with all the info needed on converting a vehicle to a zapv and what would be best escape routs for various regions of the country (us only sorry) and basic survival skills and first aid. Also I would put us useful zombie advice, such as "Machetes never run out of ammo" and "Highways are tombs, pavement is you enemy"
