If it has a computer in it, to run the engine - then no good.

The next war will - without a doubt - involve the use of EMP devices.

They are cheap, effective, and if you do it right you don’t even know who hit you until it is too late to find out.

Nobody dies, right away. It’s just that the power goes out - for a year. No car made after 1975 or so will work. No radio made after 1970 or so will work.

Everyone just ends up starving to death and killing each other over what little food is left.

No big deal.

One Second After - William Fortchean. The forward, believe it or not, is by Newt Gingrich.

It will change the way you look at preparing for a SHTF scenario.

The problem with this scenario is that based on the assumption that nothing can be rebuilt or repaired for a whole freaking year. LOL. I find that a bit hard to believe.

A former coworker of mine bought that Toyota thing that looks like a bug-out vehicle...and for that purpose.

I informed him that being a 2012 (or so) model year it won’t hold up to well against an EMP. He said “whoops”.
