Did any of you watch "Damnation Alley?"
Someone randomly shared a GIF of this articulated 12-wheeled military-looking vehicle and I thought of all of the times we talk about making semis and other trailers more aerodynamic.
I think that it is funny that it looked armored, but the middle was spandex or something.

Anybody watch Fallout? By some stroke of chance, I've never played any of the games. The show has some interest though.

Not lately. 
But I did look at the links. "...it came from a 1974 931-cubic-inch, 6.4-liter Ford engine mated to an Allison transmission..." Something doesn't add up. It's amazing that Dean Jeffries built it in 3 months. I think it was supposed to lock the Tristars so it was running on only four wheels.
I liked the Ark II (1976), it carried a parasite vehicle based on the Brubaker Box:

Coincidentally, Just A Car Guy showed this movie car ( from Prometheus (2012)) today:

Make them out of Scotchbrite pads or cut from rubber matting.
