Adding an off-road / bug-out / zombie apocalypse vehicle... looking for suggestions

I love it... the tin foil hats are coming out...

I have considered digging a hole in my backyard...and buying a generator too, amongst other things

All of this sounds like way too much work.

Luckily I dont have a wife or kids, so I'll just die.

Ha, you're all over the place. Flying is way more fun than driving, you'll cruise past the cost of a car in no time. Flight school is crazy expensive now compared to when I was in flight school in 2008.

Ok ok hear me out - Diesel Cayenne.
Harder to find, but I'm not confident the Gas versions will hit 500/tank.

Are the diesels junk like the V8 Cayennes? A buddy of mine had one, they're startlingly cheap. Pain in the ass to work on too apparently. The alternator went out and it was a massive pain to remove it, and he found out the OE water cooled alternators are like $1500. He had his fun with it and got rid of it, which took a while because nobody wants them lol. I'm sticking with the M21 325ix. I've convinced myself that's a good idea. There's no way the BMW Lego thing carries over to that and you can just bolt the M20 ix oil pan to an M21, right?

get an xj or something with a big ol v8 and three wires

Okay, ultralights. One each for you and Mrs. 2mAn.

No license required to perform an uncontrolled impact with terrain.

Old pickup with stupid simple V8 + aux tank. Put all your stuff + dirtbike in the back.

Alternatively, Jeep TJ with TDI swap. It's been done.
