Editing Automobile (section)

=== Automobiles in Post Apocalyptic settings ===
{{topquote|WITNESS ME!|Nux, Mad Max: Fury Road''}}

In most post-apocalyptic fiction where much of society’s technology is lost, fueling and maintaining automobiles is a big challenge, so many tend to not feature automobiles very often. The big exception is Mad Max and the stories it’s inspired, where motorcycle and hot rod gangs turn into warring tribes of the wasteland; big rigs are converted into war wagons, coups are covered in spikes and saw blades, and all all sorts of improvised weapons from flamethrowers to harpoons are mounted for vehicle-to-vehicle warfare. It’s completely ridiculous and over-the-too, but that’s what makes “Mad Max” style fiction so appealing.
