I think I would go with the 4 door Jeep myself. It has decent size, power, and off-roading capability along with allowing you the ability to fire shotgun blasts from the sides and back.
Why justify an illegitimate attack with a legitimate response?

I hope you don't mean the canvas ones. Zombies flying in through the canvas would ruin your day. Also they break down like none other.

This video demonstrates the potential of a HUMMER (or, same class but tougher, a HUMVEE) in rough terrains:



A HUMVEE climbing a vertical wall:



Although I'll never find a HUMVEE in an urban state, the HUMMER has a similar level of performance relative to it. These armored vehicles seem to be theoretically effective in protecting the driver from zombies and getting through the chaotic terrains in the post-apocalypse town.

However, without any vehicles or weapons (realistically), I'll just parkour my way out of the town.

Just my opinion.

Large ATV's ~400cc might be useful too, since they are so nimble and rugged.
I don't remember anything. Well, I do, but it's really vague. Like I was on drugs the whole time.

For me, a little silenced Beretta 92 and a pack of 9mm rounds (9x19mm Parabellum) are good enough. The pistol is handy and lighter to carry for parkour.  Due to the silencer attached, it can reduce the amount of noise that would otherwise attract nearby zombies. If the virus supplies just enough energy to power the zombie's lower brain for its basic movements, then shooting its head with a pistol will be as effective as any other more powerful firearms.

To prevent them from grabbing me, I could chop their hands off with a combat knife. If I'm completely surrounded, I'll just pull the trigger and say goodbye to this world.

"Congratulations! You are one in few that will probably survive an entire zombie breakout! You might even save some poor defenceless survivors too! You are with the best! "  :)

My plan would be to get out of the city (I work right in the centre of the CBD) on foot and pick up a leather biking suit along the way complete with helmet. Tougher to bite through than most materials and the steel elbows work as last-resort weaponry.

Pick up a proper hiking rucksack and fill it with food and basic medical equipment, not too much water because I live in England, plenty of it falls from the sky.

Call everyone I know and have them gather as much non-perishable food as they can buy/find/steal.

Make my way to my friend's house. His brother is a gun-nut goes shooting every weekend and has bucketfuls of (probably illegal) ammo. Barricade the doors and windows, move all the supplies to the first floor and destroy the stairs. Make a hole in the roof and move the bathtub under it to collect rainwater.

For further food and supplies we would have a sledgehammer with us. Move from house to house by breaking through the comparatively weak internal walls and the external windows. Never travel at street level unless 1)forced to 2)it's safe enough to drop a ladder and move upstairs quick 3) The virus is eradicated.

Have we discussed WWZ yet? According to a trusted source, it is an epic description of a zombie infestation that details personal experiences across geography and demography. It also details the best ways in which to survive, being mainly heavy armament and elimination of any useless or non-contributing members of a team. Essentially, you'd have to be as Machiavellian as possible,

I'd have a very basic strategy, and a very grocery list type of people I'd grab. Mainly the group of friends I grew up with, and some heavily armed people I know.

If you could get one of those bunkers (see my last post) you'd never have to leave providing you set up a basic hydroponics bay and I suppose you'd need  some sort of  sustainable power  production like solar or wind turbines but other than that you could sit out the zombapocalypse  for near-enough a lifetime.

So, how will you survive? Discuss.

I won't, unless I'm somehow in the middle of nowhere with no people there. Or if the zombies are slow. But yeah, I'll probably be among the billions who die. At least I'll be in a majority other than white people in northern Europe. And, I've always dreamed of being a statistic.
Here's an explanation for ya. Lurk moar. Every single point you brought up has been posted, reposted, debated and debunked. There is a search function on this forum, and it is very easy to use.

Man, I gotta start getting on here earlier.  OK,

Step 1 - Get home.  Oh, wait, I work from home most of the time, including now.

Step 2 - Grab the gear:



Not quite everything, I'd grab:

both SKSs
Mini-14
both Mosin-Nagants (M91-30 M44)
K31
10/22 (Scoped, accurized, and can take any game in North America out to 50 yards, technically.  Plus, I've got like 2500 rounds for it, which weigh next to nothing.)
30.30
Glock 21C (.45 ACP, full size, factory compensated)
Rossi .357 Magnum (not pictured)
H&K USP Compact .40 (not pictured)



Both shotguns, of course.



That's about half the ammo - I've got:

2500 rds .22 (cheap, light, deadly, accurate)
990 rds 7.62 X 54R (for the M-Ns)
1000 rds 5.56 NATO (as you can see, 120 rounds are in speed-loaders, ready to fill the 40rd mags in the pic)
1000 rds 7.62 X 39 (for the SKSs)
500 rds each, .45, .357 magnum, .40 ACP, 12ga (various 12 ga, mostly birdshot, but a fair amount of 4 buck, 00 buck, slug, and Rhodesian Jungle, 00 mixed with 4 buck)
300 rounds 7.5mm Swiss (1000m rifle)



I pulled out the big stuff so you could see.  This pack is always ready to go:

'Rambo' knife (compass, survival kit, threads onto pole to become spearhead)
cooking gear
stove
food - 3 people, 3 days
AR-7 (it's in pieces in the buttstock you see, which is watertight and floats, .22lr)
PUR water purification pump
cold weather kit
tent
sleeping bag
Leatherman


Then, I'd make for this building:



Which is less than two miles from my house.  18 Floors, only two staircases to cut out at the 2nd floor, lots of room to set up shop.

Now, if I only had the resources to stash a helicopter on the roof...

I would probably head to walmart, and I would drive around in the store, and stock up on food and water. I would then head to the gun department, and grab all the ammo and guns they have, and then I would try to get to my Grandpas house, because only 100 people live near him, with plenty of cows, and another walmart of course.
