Dear Sir,
With respect, what good are all these (exception of c70 chev and the 4 runner) vehicles worth with they are knocked unusable by an EMP?
If you want to promote an arcticle, it has to show thee vehicles can survive an EMP.
Thanks,

In the event of a post apocalyptic event, horses will be the next thing on the menu as soon as the stores are looted and the cattle are slaughtered. My friend says he would rather just stay bugged in rather than try to get out of the city. He has less than 50 gal. of water and two weeks worth of food just for himself. This does not include his 3 roommates. One thing most people, preppers and regular folks alike fail to understand is the severity of a nation wide EMP, It will last for years. It will be at most 2 weeks or less before the food and meds, and in city fuel runs out and after the looters are finished looting and the riots start, the mobs will start going door to door to see what they can rummage, the death toll will climb to 9 out of 10 with no infrastructure to deal with the dead and next will come the disease of plague proportions. The city will be the last place you want to be stuck in, Get with it now, find an old 70’s 4X4, and rebuild the engine, drive train, carburetor, new tires if need be, Faraday an alternator, HEI module for GM”s, and learn how to install them. Go!!! get your butt out there and find at least 2-3 different places you can go with water, preferably springs. Learn what plants are edible in your area as well as how to set snares and if at all possible when and what grains and plants, veggies will thrive in your area. Crucial to your survival is this, make the trips in the winter and see how much snow you will be dealing with. Dig in for the long haul, when the electricity finally comes back on the next battle will be the NWO. And they will hunt you down.

Nice article, great pictures of vehicles that only a few people with money can afford to have! Guess it gets a lot of views that turns into advertising revenue income for you though! Which is your only goal in the first place of course! What do you do when an EMP hits or for that matter if you don’t have any fuel to put in them to go somewhere or further down the road? What good do these vehicles do for the average Joe or Jane out there? Why not tell or show us something that could be of use and affordable to the ordinary person to survive with? Rather entertain us with fantasies the do us no good at all! John
