Vent Your Atomic Road Rage With Mad Max Reenactments

Spencer sent us this article about Road Warrior re-enactors in the Western US.

Says organizer Karol Bartoszynski:

Basically the media assumed we had "fake machine guns" and looked like we were "attacking" the tanker truck. All we had was [what you can see] in the pics: Roadwarrior-type thing in the truck, a fake crossbow, a pick-axe. People thought the 4-barrel fake gun was a rocket launcher... and we were some kind of militia or terrorists. Most of us spent overnight in jail.
After the post-atomic berzerkers were picked up, the cops realized their weapons were fake, but one cop still decided to bust them for highway obstruction -- even though they had a video proving they drove safely. The charges were thrown out half a year later.

Vehicles usually also include a red pick-up truck, with a snake painted on its side and a gun-wielding maniac riding shotgun. People dress as Wez, with the trademark red mohawk, and as random Bartertown guards. Sometimes there's even a gyrocopter flying above the whole mess.

Thanks Spencer. Link

It's just a matter of time before this thing gets tired of being kicked around and mounts machine guns to its back. You just wait.

The Ten Best Post-Apocalyptic Survival Vehicles

There are some very bad things I would do to get myself a Unimog, but only hypothetically. Maybe I wouldn't outright kill someone for a Damnation Alley clone, but I will straight break someone's legs for a Dobbertin Surface Orbiter. Seriously... broken for real. Link
