For the best-prepared doomsday preppers, Land Rover has built the DC100. The
Land Rover has, for many years, been the vehicle of choice in Africa
and other areas where rugged dependability is worth the price. Now, during this
hysterical age of Doomsday/Armageddon/End of Days/the Apocalypse, True
Believers (morons/idiots) can lay down their hard-earned cash for a vehicle
designed with them in mind.
The DC100 offers “pure practicality on four wheels and none of that annoying
sleek styling that is showing up in other models. Nope, this car is meant to
take on an uncertain future,” according to one reviewer.
It sports a rooftop equipment rack, a large cargo area, a winch and – this is amazing – a snorkel “so it can be driven in deep water.” Additionally, it has “’Wade Aid’ with sonar sensors on the bumper and side mirrors to measure water depth. When it senses that you have sounded the dive alarm and are headed for deep water, it automatically closes vents, raises the ride height and puts the vehicle into low gear.”
Unfortunately, no periscope or torpedo launcher; however, it does come equipped with a “Terrain Response system” that “creates a three-dimensional map of the outdoors and can 'optimize' for just about anything it encounters.”
So that’s the good news.
The bad news is the DC100 is a prototype currently and won’t
be available until 2015 – three years after Doomsday….not!
*big sigh*
