!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , the third installment of Universal Pictures The Purge franchise, premiers tomorrow. The franchise chronically a United States of America which recently elected totalitarian rulers; rulers that annually sanction one night of nearly absolute lawlessness. From 7 PM to 7 AM the night after the vernal equinox, criminal statues and emergency services are suspended.

The films’ characters and storylines focus on violent acts such as murder. However, all laws, including those regulating the operation, sale, and importation of cars, trucks, and motorcycles, are ignored during the Purge. For 12 hours, all drivers will enjoy no safety inspections, noise ordinances, smog checks, customs agents. Even the Virginia Highway Patrol will not bring you to justice.

With an annual 12 hours free of The Man, what would you drive?

I wouldn’t drive during the purge. I’d drive before the purge to an airport, board an airplane, and head for someplace not run by crazy people.

Only one thing to do.

I would sit my ass at home during Purge... but if I had to go anywhere, it would be something like this...On wheels and bulletproof glass and cab

Panther or B Body. Unkillable, massive, body-on-frame (for ramming), and parts can be found on the side of the road. I’ll survive. The VW might not start.

Yep stay home, or if I have to go out, Abrams.

Actually, that thing may be too heavy to go uphill.

One of these. Attack me and you’ll end up roasting like a marshmallow.

Thinking about it some more: I can’t remember can you get from the drivers position into the turret and vice/versa? If not the Abrams would be a poor choice.

Come on now...the answer is obvious.

So there are no import restrictions at all, or only during this “Purge”? If only during the Purge, wouldn’t the govt just take my car and crush it the next day?

I also would be like the majority here and stay at home and try to protect my home/person. But, if I had to go out, I'll need something that will be essentially a tank, but something that won't draw too much attention to me. I'm thinking a Dodge RamCharger, with the 318. Damn near bulletproof.

Eland Mk7, 90mm semi automatic cannon capable of firing HEAT, HE, PRAC and Canister ammunition and also has 2 7.62 machine guns.

Has a GM engine so parts should be easy to find.

You’d attract way too much attention, though.

WAY.
TOO.
MUCH.
ATTENTION.

Unless of course you have Level 8 sentries, in which case, carry on.

I think the commanders seat has control overrides for both driver and gunner. Once it’s parked in front of my house, I won’t really be needing to drive anywhere, honestly. Reloading the 120 might be difficult, but between the machine gun and just swinging the turret to bring the gun to bear on a target, that should get hostiles to fuck right off.

Hey, sentries! Smart!

Also I could get a small group of trusted friends to relay each other behind the wheel and on surveillance duty.

And if you lose, just toss a grenade into the winner’s car.

“Suck on that, Johnny Tran!”

Boom!

Is there any other answer? Other than just a tank?

They can’t crush it if you hide it

Top Gear is always right, 95% of the time.

Gonna have to subtract at least 12 hours finding and murdering the F1 team that thing belongs to. Also going to need to plan six months or so in advance. Tracking the targets, learning their daily routines, hacking their social media for info on where they’re going to be during the purge, find out how prepared they are or not for a raid and if they are, what countermeasures you could deploy, etc., etc.

In the purge, the only victories allowed are phyrric.
