Zombies, the flesh eating, limb rending, undead terror that have been the basis of many horror movies. In every zombie movie you see people try to flee from the undead in a variety of usually unsuccessful methods. So one day at the water cooler, the great minds that compose the Carlocate Crew got together to debate the issue of what vehicles would be the best and worst for surviving a zombie apocalypse. A contest was created to see who could come up with the best and worst zombie apocalypse vehicles. The winners, as picked by Carlocate.com’s Department Head (a zombie killing fiend), received bragging rights amongst some of the finest car blogging minds.
The following series “Winner or Dinner: The Best and Worst Vehicles for Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse is the compilation of this contest. Each week we will post the runner up for either best or worst and will culminate with the ultimate best and worst car for surviving the zombie apocalypse.

Week 1
Best Car for Surviving the Zombie Apocalypse Runner-Up: Maybach 62
As you exit the store with your weekly groceries you notice that everything seems eerily quiet…and then you notice that those in the parking lot are moving slowly and in some sort of trance. It appears to be a zombie apocalypse! As you race to your car you search frantically for your keys praying that this one time you can find them and make it into your car before a zombie attacks you.
Then you remember…you arrived at the store via a Maybach 62 and don’t need your keys to unlock or start your car, with its Keyless-Go system As long as the keys are somewhere on your person the doors will unlock when you touch the door handle. Once you jump into your car just push the button on the gearshift and the engine comes to life. Those few seconds you saved by not searching for your keys could’ve been the difference between life and death.
The comfort features of this vehicle will ensure that while speeding away from the zombies you will not be bumping all over the road. The Maybach 62 is equipped with the Sensotronic Brake Control system. This system is able to modulate the brake pressure required for each wheel with great precision. The PARKTRONIC system is able to detect nearby zombies (or other obstacles) and send an alert to the driver of their proximity and direction. This system can help you maneuver through the parking lot and streets as you make your escape.
The Maybach 62 has a 430-mile driving range which should put enough distance between you and the undead walking the city streets. The weight of this car, all 6,330 pounds of it, makes it almost impossible for the zombies to attack your vehicle and flip it in their attempt to get you.
Inevitably, you will be forced to sleep in your car on your journey to safety. The Maybach 62 comes standard with fabric window curtains for all four windows. You can climb in the rear seat, draw the curtains and be safe from the undead stare of the zombies. With the curtains drawn they won’t even know there is someone in the car. While trying to sleep in a car can be difficult the 62 comes equipped with reclining rear seats that are upholstered in leather and feature multi-contour seatbacks with dynamic lumbar supports. All seats are electrically adjustable for height, seatback and cushion angle, cushion length and head restraint height. The extending and reclining seats are fit for a private jet! Sleeping in this vehicle while a zombie siege takes place outside should be no problem.
Finding something to eat during a zombie apocalypse could be a challenge; but with the 62’s standard rear refrigerator you will have no trouble keeping any food cold. A fully stocked refrigerator will help you keep your wits about you and survive this tragic event. When you’ve finally made it to safety or the zombie “army” has been wiped out you can toast to your survival with the silver champagne flutes that come standard with every Maybach 62. Simply because you are in the midst of a zombie crisis there is no reason not to travel in style. The Maybach 62 is the perfect vehicle for surviving the zombie apocalypse or simply for taking a night on the town!
