Don't mean to get too off topic, but I just don't know that I'll get into a storyline that starts off like that.
I am sure they could build one, but there is so much more involved in a vehicle running than just having an engine that runs. Things like fuel refining, maintenance on both the vehicle and roads they would use. You do see they get some electronics working, but they would be hacked together stuff, more of a one off situation.

There are some thing that look ridiculous about that trailer for sure, like the plane that suddenly ignores momentum and falls straight down out of the sky, and everyone seems a bit too well groomed for living 15 years without electricity.

Like hemi-cuda, I am a huge sucker for end of the world stuff, so this is going onto my must watch listing.
