My '68 Dodge Power Wagon has him beat cold. With a spare set of diodes it's EMP proof.

I had an old Escape that I thought would last me forever. No bells and whistles on it. Even got a new paint job for it and a new tune up...
Then I hit a pothole. The rest is history.
I drive a 78 Chevy Van. No chips and also EMP proof...
I will never drive a newer spy car... As far as I am concerned it is absolutely stupid to embrace this new Auto technology. I am a master tech and I have seen just driving by microwave towers shut cars off...
Swap the alternator for a generator!
My dad just gave his 47 power wagon to his brother who restores vehicles- it was in pretty rough shape, bu5 engine was still strong- excited to see it restored some day. It is a beast of a truck! Back in the 60’s he used to plow the streets with it, then bought it when the town sold it- it had done a ton of work - hard work, like hau,ing large stones for wall building, removing car sized bou,ders from driveways with the winch, towing vehicles, etc. They use them at mud rallies to haul put the monster trucks that get stuck- great truck!
Ha, I read your post first as โDoge Power Wagon.โ
I have a 2005 A4 Avant Iโm keeping for most of these reasons, plus you can no longer get a V6 and manual transmission.
