The four horsemen of the apocalypse can afford to be smug bastards. They have transportation. But after they gallop off into the sunset, you—assuming you’ve somehow survived—are still going to need a ride. The good news: Since civilization will be in ruins, waiting in line at the DMV won’t be an issue. You’ll be free to commandeer just about anything you want. But what to acquire? Here are a few options worth tracking down once the smoke clears.

1// USS Freedom (LSC-1)
Cars and bikes won’t do you any good after the flood, my friend. The Freedom, a combat ship designed to operate close to shore, has onboard generators, a helipad, and a missile launcher. Snatch supplies from abandoned ports with the built-in crane and floor it to 45 knots to make a quick getaway from Jet Ski-mounted raiders.

2// Mercedes-BENZ 300D
A Benz might seem a tad bourgeois, but the 300D, with its bulletproof engine, is an exercise in automotive eschatology. Find an abandoned McDonald’s, pour the fryolater oil through a few layers of coffee filters, and fill ‘er up. After a long day of chasing giant flying stone heads across a frozen wasteland, you’ll really appreciate the heated leather seats.

3// Tokai Challenger
Despite what you saw in Mel Gibson’s 1979 documentary, Mad Max, what’s left of the world’s gasoline after doomsday will probably just sit in tanks, slowly turning to varnish. And so what? In 2009, the Tokai Challenger, a solar car built by a team at Japan’s Tokai University, crossed 1,860 miles of Australian outback on sun power alone, reaching a top speed of 93.2 mph.

4// Suzuki DR650
If you’re one of the last persons on earth, you’ll need to cross some gnarly terrain. (Mass extinctions play havoc with highway maintenance-crew staffing.) The DR650 is the ideal bike for a lone survivor, equally capable on asphalt, dirt trail, or urban rubble. Get the 1990 model, which has a kick-starter—batteries might be hard to come by the day after tomorrow.
