What is that thing? Why is that thing? It looks like the vehicles from Aliens. On the windshield, there's a decal that reads "Apocalypse 6x6."

Notice what you don't see: Any scratches or dirt on it nor mud on any of it's 6 tires. Total pavement princess.

I doubt a custom build can manage a decent 6x6 setup, so it's probably terrible offroad.

Plus it would only be good in flat, open spaces, too big and too long of a wheelbase, the breakover angle sucks, and the approach angle does as well with the stupid grille.

It's an interesting build, but it's probably more art than function.

Have you been to Florida?

Even flat places have obstacles, otherwise why go offroading?

It's on standby for the apocalypse. You don't want to use it up beforehand.

I could give them the benefit of doubt and say it's new and a Christmas present, but even if that's the case it will likely never go off road once (maybe a gravel road if they're feeling adventurous)

Yep, was gonna say that.

It even has a cute little wreathed archway it drives through on every entry and exit from the driveway, awww!

If it does get dirty, it will be because it can't fit in the garage.
