Hyundai and Robert Kirkman’s The Walking Dead franchise have teamed up yet again. This time they’re bringing gamers a new app called “The Walking Dead Chop Shop.”
The app lets you customize Hyundai vehicles with parts in an effort to build the ultimate zombie apocalypse survival machine. You can currently choose 3 different base vehicles and use around 300 different parts to make your ride zombie proof. Some of the more notable Chop Shop vehicle parts include a horde plow, machetes, automatic crossbows, a flamethrower and more! True fans of The Walking Dead comic will be rewarded for their loyalty. Gamers can answer trivia questions from The Walking Dead comics to earn more points and unlock exclusive parts for their rides.
Of course the app doesn’t stop at simply building a zombie apocalypse survival vehicle. Once you’ve built your zombie dream machine you can pit your car against other zombie survivalists and interact with apocalyptic storylines. You’ll be given a “survivability score” to see how your zombie survival vehicle stacks up against zombies and other players.
There’s also a cool sharing feature. You can share your vehicle in the Chop Shop gallery where many vehicles are shared right on the The Walking Dead Chop Shop website! Robert Kirkman himself will reportedly be choosing one zombie survivalist’s zombie vehicle design to be built for New Your Comic-Con. Zombie fans can also share their vehicle to Facebook and Twitter and compete with their friends.

so will they still honor the 10 year warranty after SHTF???
Ha…I’m sure they will. Unless you’ve made zombie killing modifications that void the warranty 😉
