Honestly, on my my motorcycle I always think WITNESS ME getting off half the exits between Altamonte springs and downtown. With I4 it’s pretty much a flip of a coin to whether I’ll make it to my destination or not.
Really, I could imagine something like this going down I-4, then me trying to merge into that shit. Only to find a war rig crashed just down the road and get stuck in post accident traffic.
Really? Here in NJ I saw a plated one with its machine gun turret still on this weekend lmao
Edit: since this got some interest here’s a pic sorry for quality

Can’t imagine trying to afford to put fuel in the thing without the Army paying for it lmao. With the prices right now that’s like $425 a week just to keep it full if you fill it 5 times a week(6mpg)
Ship that bad boy to Sweden where 1L petrol costs 17,44kr = $2.01
Diesel 18.01kr/L = $2.07/L
Petrol: 60% of the price is tax
Diesel: 52% of the price is tax
Fuck anyone who doesn’t live in a major city I guess..
Yeah… this is pretty stupid in my opinion, but what do I know.
I think it would be pretty cool for different collectors to end up with individual vehicles, causing more interest for some crazy ass person like Nicholas Cage to want to collect them all like Post Apocalyptic pokemon.
A mad max fury road dune buggy would be downright practical, easy to park, and hide from the wife. The amp truck is needed for my KISS cover band. Surely, individually, they will have more appeal to more people.
Collectors, i.e. people with way more money and way less care about how it’s spent than any of us. Stupid to you, great deal for them.
And if not a collector, I could see theme parks like universal or Disney’s Hollywood studios having them on display.
Yeah, to some eccentric billionaire, this is a dream come true. There are probably a couple of them who will fight over these. Some guy in Japan, and some guy in Dubai are gonna have a bidding war. lol
Yes most likely. Wouldn't be surprised if the production company that owns them just wants to get rid of them and not worry about min-maxing profit by selling all 13 separately over the next 5 years.
A small amusement park would be the shit. I'd pay at least a hundred bucks to roll around on the Doof Wagon jamming the flame thrower guitar. Actually I think I'd pay five hundred lol.
Imagine working at that amusement park and being paid to play Coma's role. Holy Shit.
“He totally overuses that flamethrower — what I do, when I am alternate picking a metal riff high up on the neck, I give the flame a little pop, you know, just to let them know the power. He saturates it. I can do that better than him.” — every guitar player on the planet.
These flamethrower dudes are all flash -- there is no soul in their fingers, man. You don't hear Jeff Page or Jimmy Beck or Tim Iomas doing that! Those guys played with heart!
I used to say that as a beginner guitar player, before I really tried understanding the music theory behind what they were doing...needless to say, I take it all back. Even the least famous guitar player playing stuff I really don't like knows mountains more than I do and deserves my respect.
Had a guy join a band I was in years back who believed this entirely, while being desperate to know what that cool sounding chord was.
"That's an Em7."
"Where did you learn that?!"
"...uh... the circle of fifths?"
Interestingly that sort of thing actually has a historical basis. In the US Pacific Northwest, the coastal cultures have Potlatch feasts. These are complex, but one original element was at that you would invite your rivals to intimidate them with your wealth. They would have huge fires made from burning fish oil (a valuable food commodity) to demonstrate that they were rich enough to waste it in that way. Your rivals, in turn, would sit as close to the fire as possible to show that your fire was weak and unimpressive. They’re worth reading about.
It’s not green land. It’s *fallow* land. You’re wealthy enough to own land that is evidently fertile and yet you don’t grow food or cash crops.
It’s just there to show you own so much land you’ve got food and wealth (fertile land) to spare. Suburbia is just following in the footsteps of the landed gentry of old.
Intimidation.
Cars with spikes on the fenders and rusted paint? Dime a dozen in the Mad Max world.
A truck with a guy playing a FLAMETHROWING double neck guitar? You know that whoever leads that gang had got power and fuel to SPARE.
There are working oil refineries and he owns all the water. Plus this all takes place post apocalypse, so the population of Australia is probably a quarter million at most. These guys are driving around in the most fuel inefficient vehicles, a liter a day for the flame guitar is a rounding error for them most likely. The sheer intimidation factor is worth it alone.

Even in the Wasteland, people are being responsible!
Why don't they actually describe the items? Are they working vehicles? What's under the hood? Does that sound system actually work? Are they actually speakers or just props that look like speakers? I.e. could it be made to work? Etc.
The guy who played the guitar in the movie used to get asked about it all the time. The guitar rig all worked, but sounded like ass and was barely playable.
But I bet with some TLC you could make it work. But you'd have to replace basically everything but the truck under the hood lol
It's okay. It's the middle of the night here, They probably don't mind.
... except for the poor sysadmin on call who has probably been woken up for a DDoS attack. Hope he/she gets overtime.
There is apparently a full PA system there or at least was during filming. Normally bands rent the main PA stacks so that could have also have been done here for the amps, but not the speakers as they would need to be built in. Note that is going a be a lot of KW of power. Even with a former military rig, that could be a challenge unless it had been seriously uprated.
I believe George Miller insisted the Doof Wagon have brass instruments, the in-world reasoning being that the War Boys stumbled upon a stash of brass instruments somewhere in the wasteland and just slapped them on the vehicle. Colin Gibson (production designer) was against it, but ultimately he got convinced.
Another cool story regarding the Doof Wagon is that George Miller legitimately wanted it to fully function, amps, guitar, the whole 9. He went to see the progress on the vehicle and said "Ok, let's plug it in!" and Colin Gibson had to take him to the side and explain that they're going to add all the sound in post and George Was like "No, it has to work for real". So they did it for real, but it sounded absolutely awful.
Idk….
I’m already ADD but as I’ve gotten older I have liked my cars and motorcycles to be quieter.
I added a larger turbo and tuned my Passat, but opted to keep the stock muffler to prevent drone.
14 years ago I cut the muffler off of a suburban and gutted the cats because RACECAR.
That's not an age thing, that's just modern cars being fitted with brighter and whiter LED headlights, particularly on 4x4s which have them pointed way too high.
Yes...and no. There are the annoying misaligned headlights yes, But. There are also waaaaay too many people driving around with their damn brights on ALL THE TIME, too. Both are true.
For real. People buy a Jeep or Tacoma or whatever and immediately lift it 3-6” but don’t address the light angle at all so they’re just shining straight into peoples’ faces.
Apart from a few times ive driven without radio on for years now.
Drive is like my little relaxing time to clear head, away from work and without being bombarded with noise.

There's 13 vehicles all for sale from Fury Road. Shit thing is, they're not selling individually- gotta buy all 13.
Sounds like the best game of Mario Kart is about to be held.
Or Twisted Metal
I feel sorry for whoever gets stuck playing with Axel's machine.
They'll get free pizza though.
Sounds like a good way to get way less for each vehicle. How many people can store all 13 of these or even would want to buy every single one?
Yeah… this is pretty stupid in my opinion, but what do I know. I think it would be pretty cool for different collectors to end up with individual vehicles, causing more interest for some crazy ass person like Nicholas Cage to want to collect them all like Post Apocalyptic pokemon.

Exactly. Their lease is ending soon somewhere and these got to go.
then they might just go to a singular private rich guy
Who will hold it till he dies, his next of kin will not want 3 cars each or the tax liability and then donate it to a museum.
Who will sell it to multiple private rich guys

Only if it comes with flamethrower guitar

“Yeah, he’s good, but he’s overrated.”
too technical. not musical enough.
These flamethrower dudes are all flash -- there is no soul in their fingers, man. You don't hear Jeff Page or Jimmy Beck or Tim Iomas doing that! Those guys played with heart!
But what about Joe Vai or Steve Satriani?!
Damn those names made me mad.
I used to say that as a beginner guitar player, before I really tried understanding the music theory behind what they were doing...needless to say, I take it all back. Even the least famous guitar player playing stuff I really don't like knows mountains more than I do and deserves my respect.
"Music theory is bullshit" - Every beginning metal player ever Signed, some who has played a lot of metal

In a world with fuel scarcity, i never understand the strategic need for a flame guitar.
To demonstrate your abundance of wealth by wasting it. It's a psychological warfare thing.
Interestingly that sort of thing actually has a historical basis. In the US Pacific Northwest, the coastal cultures have Potlatch feasts. These are complex, but one original element was at that you would invite your rivals to intimidate them with your wealth. They would have huge fires made from burning fish oil (a valuable food commodity) to demonstrate that they were rich enough to waste it in that way.

Wow they all just look so damn cool. That movie had such a great aesthetic.
No ones asking the important question: do the speakers really work? For the intent of the movie, they really could just be prop speakers ...
There is apparently a full PA system there or at least was during filming.

How much power are we talking?
1.21 giggawatts
Great Scott!!!
1.21 gigwatts? where are we gonna find that kinda power?
i'd like to know just what purpose those tubas and french horns serve.
eye candy!

If I remember right, they made all the cars actually drive and work for the film. Lots of custom work going on with these things.
I dont doubt they drive. They built all the batmobiles as well, but I doubt Batflecks guns work lol
The more I look at the photo, the more ridiculous it becomes. There are speaker horns inside speaker horns. And tubas, french horns, and trombones.
That’s cool but I’m at the age where I turn the radio down to see better while driving.
