Most vehicles tested when exposed to EMP will run after exposure if the battery is disconnected and reconnected. Of course, maybe 1% of the population will noodle that out...

DIDN’T KNOW THAT. WORTH KNOWING.

Dude. I've finally decided who I want for an Apocalypse buddy. When the zombies come, send one of your minions to pick me and my son and daughter-in-law and take us back to the enclave. I have a feeling your tribe is gonna be the place to be. And you're relatively close.

Or maybe you can pick us up on the way to Yosemite or the nearby Sierras. Those would be two nice places to start our empire while we wait it out.

Yep, you're the one.

I thought the problem was with the computers in the car being fried. I can see what you mean if the EMP is dropped while the battery is disconnected.

So you’re saying keep a vehicle with the battery disconnected, just in case?

I'm real glad to hear that. I far prefer electronic, to point/condenser ignition. So I guess my chainsaw and generator will be fine
