I side by side will go anywhere a jeep will, but a jeep will not get places a side by side will.

The big thing in our state is the powers to be have demeaned side by sides are not allowed on the roads and this also includes some of the national forest roads, which sucks. That is why I went with the jeep. If by some chance the Misses and I move to a place like Montana then I would get one in a heat beat.

So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
Ha! I have a Daimler Ferret! EMP proof and armour - what a great combo!
Opsec!

So, how do you know a vehicle would be disabled in the event of an EMP? Is there a way you could simulate it to see what parts you would have to stock up on? I had a few people at work argue that cars would be fine because the tires insulate them from grounding, but if I understood it right the grounding would be beneficial?
It can't be tested at home. It has been tested by the government and they found that some cars will work fine, some cars will work, less than fine, and some won't work at all. The more modern cars tend to be better shielded because of all the electronics, but then they also need all the electronics to work.
Electronics in the cars. UGH! My wife's 2010 Malibu has had some transmission problems. Work is done except they now have to program the transmission module. A major problem is making sure it talks to the engine module! Holy Crap!
Should we have an EMP either due to a solar flare or a nuke, what about vehicles that are parked in parking garages several level below ground level. Those garages have thousands of tons of steel and concrete. Would that protect the vehicles parked below?
Maybe. The problem with EMP is that we won't know, until it happens. But in a parking garage, you might be trapped by broken-down vehicles in the way. For instance, yesterday I had some banking business to take care of..when I was done, I couldn't leave the parking lot because a tow-truck, called to start/tow someone elses ride, was blocking my truck in. I just had to wait until the tow was loaded and gone....
