I finally found my first car while running from a small horde of zombies.  I threw a bottle of gas I was saving to make into a molitov in it after figuring out how, hopped in the drivers seat and flipped off the zeds as I drove off.

And plowed straight into some traps some hillbilly laid in the middle of the road while still in sight of the zeds.  Stylish.

It seems that 50 is not a safe speed in any sense of the word.  Maybe 30.   I wonder where I can find some new tires...

30-40 is fine and tires, mufflers, and pipes are all over the roads. There's also traps on the roads, but you seem to know something about that.

I-Is it possible to wield a lawnmower as a weapon in your mod now, Darkling Wolf? As in running around giving zeds very close haircuts with it?

This is what you do in a zombie apocalypse. You take a bunch of useful items, pile them up in the middle of a road, then set dozens of traps around it. The items will only attract other survivors which will likely get asploded by the traps, while the zombies remain safe due to their complete disinterest for anything that doesn't involve braaaaaanes.

Yeah, it's not usually a good thing if you run over a ton of spikeboards if you lack a spare tire or three and are too unskilled to replace a blown tire... I've had both tires on the left side of a car blown out after I hit a spikeboard.

Judging by the sheer volume of traps, I would hypothesize that the zombies are actually the effect, not the cause, in this relationship. Some organization of nutty survivalists set up the traps worldwide and put valuables in the center. After the first few million deaths by civilians running into them to get the stuff, The Cure was implemented in an attempt to prevent the rest of humanity from charging into the traps, by making them disinterested in the bait. It had some mild side effects, like all good medications, but overall worked out pretty well. Deaths among the populace dropped dramatically.

No, the zeds didn't come for me until about 15 game minutes after I'd ruined my car then.

How do you fail to "disarm" a spike board? How many times can you accidentally step on a two-by-four with six nails in it while trying to pick it up?
