Original Message
I brought this up in the car thread on here and someone suggested I start a whole new thread. We all konw EMP's are a real thing. I read, I think on here, that cars built before the mid 70's could be re-vamped after an EMP attack, by replacing things like the fried spark plugs, and other such things you can easily keep on hand. How you would get gas afterwards, however, is another thing altogether. But what about those who have cars built after the mid-70's? So much of a car's engine has been built on high-tech electronics, that I'm guessing no amound of "on-hand" replacement parts is going to get them running again. And considering that most people in the states have newer cars, we'd pretty much all be screwed. Tnoughts? I'll be back in a bit.
