I always confuse the name of the car with the name of the highway men, so blame me if you also got confused.

Seconded... What better way to clear the gridlock that a field gun mounted in a car, LOL.
 
Ooh, explosive goodness in a mobile package, and all rolled up in a nice post-apoc texture job. I'll take it, kthxbai.

If there were vehicles this deformed, that actually ran, I'd give the mastermind of it a dollar.
 
Thats is the most badass thing i have seen all month actully no its ties with Grindhouse. Is thats a Chevrolet El Camino?

In here my friend Wooz

Btw, a description of our vehicle:

This heavily-modified vehicle is the sort of thing one can only find in certain post-apocalyptic settings. The ones where radiation and the wreaked ecosystems haven't doomed everyone to a slow, painful death. In fact, this sort of machine could almost be seen in the Mad Max series of movies, specifically in the time period of Beyond Thunderdome. It also seems to be the perfect vehicle to appearance in something like Six-String Samurai. I also see it as a sort of hyped-up "technical" seen in such locations as Somalia.

As near as I can tell, the engine is now in the rear, and powers the primitive track-laying drive mechanism. The front wheels seem to be made of solid metal, while a modified steel support beam serves as an impact ram. More steel tubing forms an impact shield in the front of the car, while sheet metal has been used to cover the windows and provide basic protection for the driver and gunner(s). This protection is presumed to be part of the basic vehicle DEF, which hasn't taken any Limited Coverage Limitations. While it makes it hard to see out, it is also hard to see in, and many weapons will prove ineffectual until the louvered front windshield is either breached or removed.

The antitank gun is aimed by pointing the entire car at a target. It doesn't have many rounds (perhaps no more than a dozen at any one time), and is almost never fired while on the move. Technically, the gun is a crew-served weapon, with 2-3 people needed to properly aim and fire it. Game Masters can add in the proper Limitation if they so choose.

As can be expected, the car doesn't go very fast, and does best on flat and fairly smooth roads, be they dirt or asphalt. It doesn't maneuver very well, either, and is missing almost all of the typical ground car accessories (such as lights and a radio), but does have an externally mounted loudspeaker (usually used to harangue and intimidate potential victims). It is possible a Somalia-styled technical would have a radio, and even headlights, however.

Actually this could be brought to the game 8)
 
Just the color scheme and surface texture of the car are post-apocalpyticly awesome! Not to even mention the tank treads replacing the rear axle and the heavy gun mounted through the windshield.

That picture is hella awesome. I want to go play Twisted Metal now...

Sincerely,
The Vault Dweller

It seems they are unaware of the origin of the car as well. It would be nice to know why it was built: was it an individual hobbyist, created for a movie, or something else entirely?

By the way, this website has pictures of a number of different vehicles from Mad Max (though the photography is generally of poor quality).
 
Now that is a challenge for the <a href="http://jalopnik.com/cars/auto-shows/landmaster-returns-from-post+apocalyptic-disrepair-224946.php">Landmaster<a>. If there was a higher resolution picture, It would be my wallpaper. Anyway great piece of post-apocalyptic art.
