Alright dude. Makes your cracks. But when the bubble goes up and it's time for a bug-out vehicle, you're not invited when I drive off in this. :tothehand: :tothehand:
I'm not su sure that's the best bug out vehicle. It has 6, oversized wheels and I'm sure shitty mpg. You and get Farr and are screwed if a tire pops. You have to plan for the worst. A large truck with standard size tires would be better...but it's your fantasy. Image

If we get EMP'd we'll all be trying to get into that GTO without all the fancy modern day electronics. :nod:
I forget, don't EMPs only knock out electronics temporarily?

Depends on the shielding. Could fry many electronics permanently.

A car in your garage would fare better than one on the street, etc.

That's all we need, is some Asian female barreling down the interstate in a 5,500 lb bullet. :shock:
Lucky for Usain Bolt, he only faced a Chinese man with a Segway today
