The electronic parts in your car is what you should store in it. Not THE parts out of your vehicle, but replacement parts. I'm thinking the computer and chips that regulate fuel/air mix, but I'm not a mechanic, just a kook. Others here are more knowledgeable on the exact components.

Personaly, I keep a transistor/shortwave radio in mine, as the ability to communicate will be important after all forms of mass electronic media go down. My radio was about $20 and I get signal as far away as Florida. (I'm in Houston, so that's like, totally far!)

My other preparing-for-the-apocalypse-fantasy involves dropping an old non-electronic diesel engine in a newer vehicle. Non-electronic diesel engines will survive EMP because they are purely mechanical.

Look, if your close enough to a nuclear explosion to be effected by an “emp” pulse, Worrying about your car stalling will be the last thing on your mind.

I think the flesh dripping off your arms will be a priority, if you can still see that is...
