Would removing the negative battery cable be of any use in protecting your cars electronics??

Nope. The only thing that might protect it is a Faraday cage: a large enclosure made of a metal grid that is well grounded. Try finding one for a car!

I was reading somewhere that the damaging EMP from a normal nuclear device would be limmited to a distance of only a few miles from the blast. even 5 miles out you might be ok. What is your take on that?
