Tim Cameron's ShowTime is Our Kind of Commuter Car for the Apocalypse
It's amazing what a little good old-fashioned ingenuity can create.

Well, that and about 200 feet of thick steel tubing, 16-inch Fox coil-over suspenders, an LSX 454 crate engine from General Motors hooked to a Powerglide automatic transmission, and a custom-built pair of axles and a set of four 43-inch tires...
