There was a time when I said that, if I had unlimited funds for a vehicle, I would buy an Aston Martin Vanquish. I might've changed my mind ...

They couldn’t find an H1 Hummer? That would be a better comparison.

My understanding is that you don’t need a gun turret. You can just take a nap until the bad guy runs out of ammo ... then run him over.

Loads of conflicting information on the car, some say it's a biodiesel, others say it's a flex fuel, but in any case, it's an impressive ride.
Less than pleased with the lack of any active defenses, even a gun port for the driver or passenger would be a nice addition, and it's more style than defense when you've got non-retracting running boards and all those handy dandy handles for bad guys (or zombies) to hang onto.

About two years too late on defending from that zombie apocolypse

That’d work! Gatling gun -- when you are surrounded by vast hordes of brain-eating zombies, accept no substitute!

Marty like, but those hot casings have gotta be hell on the paint job. < |:(~ I'm more concerned about the casings that drop back down into the vehicle. I'd have put a longer chute on.
Then again, when you're in a situation whee you feel the need to hose down the countryside, you probably have other sources of paint damage too.
