Just curious what why you say that?
Have you been keeping on the adventures of Celerity in the new world ?
I'm very into survivalism, and carry a big interest in post-collapse living. I would advise everyone get the last vehicle they would need in a post-collapse situation. Something light, easily maintained, and competent for snow. It doesn't have to be lifted, but if that's what you're good with, then go for it.
The idea is that three things are coming up, whether you think I'm a kook or not. Whether you subscribe to a zombie invasion or a mad max future, or just think the whole thing is a scam. These three things are happening:
People are running out of money. This means that people who once had money will no longer have money. Being a newbie to poverty, people tend to do extreme things for a few dollars. You see, a poor person that grew up poor is used to not being able to afford shit. But someone who isn't used to it, will immediately go "Defcom 5" and lash out with everything they have for a box of diapers.
You and I will be one of those people who are making less and less and paying more and more for the basics that we used to get pretty easily. Electricity rates are going up, food is going up, gas is going up, and housing is going up. All the meanwhile, businesses are closing their doors, and services are going up. That means you will NEED to be very proficient with the things you have. Get a car with LOTS of spares. Spare glass, spare axles, just fill up your shelves with bits that you'll need. Don't wait until you have no alternator before shopping for an alternator. That said, We don't all have the money now to just go out and buy new parts for the future. So get used bits now. Clean them, catalog them, and keep spares. In my car I carry not only spares for things that I might need (For instance, my water pump was on the way out last week, so I packed one in the trunk) but I carry spare bolts, caps, and some fluids. I'm looking for a roof rack these days to carry more stuff. I also carry spare light bulbs.
Lastly, as the money disappears - we will need to stop looking to the town or state to plow in snow storms. Everytime a plow drops, a cost is associated. At some point, this will stop. You don't need to be able to rock crawl with your survival vehicle because in a post collapse scenario, your car is RARELY used. (You can hear any car from miles away). The point is to use the car to get from town to town using the easiest way possible. (If you're stuck in the woods, you're STUCK in the fucking woods)
So a real off-roader, in my opinion, just gets you in deeper before getting you stuck. On top of that, just about any 4WD is thirsty as hell, and has a HUGE casting cost. You'll find yourself parking it, grabbing your BMX out of the bed, and going the rest of the route as often as you would with the Subaru.
On the other hand, my friend is a big believer in HUGE post apocalyptic trucks, and has chosen a full-size Ford F350 for the job. He will make his post-apocalytic living from steel and garbage collection in his locale.
It's a good idea.
