True emp protection vehicle-wise would be an old school carburized engine and having a spare starter solonoid and alternator lying around in a proper faraday cage.
Actually, a 1 wire diesel. Hell, if it's worn enough, it'll just run off it's own oil once you run out of fuel.

The neat thing is that after the nuclear blast that creates the EMP, nobody will be able to "prove" that the little EMP box did not work.

Exactly. Like the meme says, if you don't want to be used, be useless :cool:

I wish the government would fix the leaks in their surveillance drones. Those drones park in the oak tree above where I park my bronco and they leak all over the hood.

Like a foil had for your bronco?

I joke, but the prospect for an EMP style attack grows every week. Lightning strikes should not really be a concern given the design of vehicles being more narrow at the top than at the bottom and large rubber tires makes the chance of a strike on a stock vehicle low and if it does the effects even lower. There's a great top gear episode on this subject.
Top Gear WAS the best show on TV.

"We tested a sample of 37 cars in an EMP simulation laboratory, with automobile vintages ranging from 1986 through 2002....... . The most serious effect observed on running automobiles was that the motors in three cars stopped at field strengths of approximately 30 kV/m or above. In an actual EMP exposure, these vehicles would glide to a stop and require the driver to restart them. Electronics in the dashboard of one automobile were damaged and required repair. Other effects were relatively minor. Twenty-five automobiles exhibited malfunctions that could be considered only a nuisance (e.g., blinking dashboard lights) and did not require driver intervention to correct. Eight of the 37 cars tested did not exhibit any anomalous response.”

If you are in an aerial nuclear blast... all you have to do is bend over and kiss it goodby.... you won't have to worry about your car... :)
