What vehicle(s) would be good to survive a solar storm EMP? Ideally something that is capable of offroad when necessary, but something that is reliable and not reliant on a vulnerable computer to start the engine.
(EMP: Electromagnetic Pulse)
Thanks!
A bicycle.
Well I would use the horse but the point is to be able to travel 200 miles to get to it in the first place. I did find your response humorous though

Thanks! Saw this article a while back but skimmed over it. Seems like I should be just fine, but I do have a contingency plan if not.
A 1949 Hudson.

I think you need to stop watching History channel, and focus on more pressing risks.
Will it break down tomorrow?
Will it survive government regulation and taxes?
Will it survive inflation and soaring gas prices?
Will that idiot running a red plow into me?

Well you might as well trade your washing machine for a washboard, buy a woodstove, and switch to oil lanterns because those won't work either. Got your bunker prepped?
I'm curious how you're going to get gas into your car too.
Nothing survives government regulations and taxes @mmj.
I don't have a TV, and for being a "mountain man" you sure don't sound like you want to be able to thrive and be self-sufficient.
Break down tomorrow? Yeah probably! That's kind of the point. We were nearly hit by several solar storms, and they can come within hours of being emitted, and I truly believewe might get hit by one within the next 18 months. Now if my vehicle cannot get my family from out of a city to my land where I do have those accommodations, then I should have something more fitting to do the job.
As for fuel the obvious choice is diesel. Because I have the capability to make that. Your questions of government, gas and a plow I would answer as the government shouldn't care, diesel and Jerry cans (assuming less than ½ tank), and drive cautiously. And you wouldn't care about lights or government if there was no power.
But thanks for assuming things and not answering the topic
18months? I can't wait. I'm marking my calendar.
Maybe a 1968 Land Cruiser.
Almost any car that vgg has done a video on will work fine after an EMP
1960s international scout
Or duuudes with wrenches
Just about anything with a carburetor will work after an EMP, as long as it wasn't running when it hit. The radio and clock probably won't work. Worry about other things as @mmj says. Every car with a carb is a classic car nowadays, fewer and fewer people know how to work on them. Buying one for that reason and not because you like it would be silly.
