Ramster X Amphibious Vehicle

Although the Ramster X is only a prototype at this point, imagine having an amphibious vehicle that runs on diesel -- a fuel that you can create yourself which, of course, is going to be important in a zombie apocalypse.  :)

Wilco Amphibious Personnel / Cargo Carrier

I don't know about you, but "Amphibious Personnel / Cargo Carrier" sounds pretty bad-ass to me.

Here's a description of the vehicle from the Wilson March Buggies web site:

Like the entire Wilco Marsh Buggies Fleet, it climbs hills, crosses rivers and maneuvers through soft terrain with ease. Grass, brush and small trees won't slow this machine down. The amphibious carrier will get your crew and equipment where you need them, when you need them. It can be fitted with a variety of accessories, such as winches, backhoes, drills, and hydraulic lifts. 
Several additional design options are available including helicopter landing decks, fiber optic cable equipment, small office buildings or compact sleeping quarters. The versatility and flexibility of this powerhouse stands unmatched.
Did you read that?  Seriously?  Options include a helicopter landing deck, sleeping quarters, etc.?
