this, this, and this

So you are an old school chopper guy... very nice.

Never buy anything that depreciates when it hits the driveway on the way out. Let someone else take the hit. Buy something like an old car that appreciates, why lose any money when you don't have to. Neither of those cars looks EMP proof to me. I am looking for a 70's blazer right now. Full size. 4WD ... EMP proof, SHTF worthy, and room to sleep and room for the pooch.

a 70's blazer still has electronic parts... you might want to have some spare shit

good call on that

i think you'd be fine on a bike.
you'd be surprised at how easy it is.
even with having to think about the right/left thing. i dont see how that would effect your riding.
you drive a car right?

Grovit,@marlingrace,

One of the hardest things we had to do was get rid of our '88 blazer (sigh)
That was our toy!!
 
It had over 400,000 miles (hwy) and still going

The '89 models is when they changed the looks of the grill
And by '94, they stopped calling them 'Blazers' and named them 'Tahoe'
They looked nice but were clearly NOT made for 4-wheelin
More like Mom's ride to the grocery store

Every time we thought of trading it in, the sales guys would say, "boy they don't make them like this anymore" and  of course, we backed out
(wrong thing to say...LOL)


But with the DOT cracking down since 9/11 and our stock truck/RV drew more attention/hassle than we cared for,  we got rid of that for a 5th wheel which meant had to sell our blazer and get a dually to pull it with

It makes me sad tho every time we pass an old blazer like that
 That was our baby...

If you are good with your hands, you might want to look into the various auctions. From the local counties to banks. I have a friend who does this with houses and vehicles and flips them for a tidy profit.

Going to the Lorain Auction house (OHA) tomorrow morning to look my Jeep over and get stuff out of it. I have a feeling that the thieves who stole it may have totaled it.  fm522295c4

@marlingrace,

Even our '88 blazer had computer chips in it
Not near as many as our 2003 F350 does

But yea, in a SHTF scenario, it would be nice to have an older vehicle that had no electronic chips in it what so ever

I have had a truck stolen before, it just so sucks. I am seriously sorry to hear it.

You could say being good with my hands might be an understatement. On the left wall of my new garage I have 4 roll aways, and two large bottoms full of hand tools for everything. I have a miller wirefeed, heliarc, torches, plasma cutter, pretty much anything you need to build or fabricate car wash equipment. I have just now started to collect wood working tools and just got a complete shopsmith with all the attachments. I already had hand, power, cordless saws of various sizes. Routers etc. I sold the lathes and mills just before moving here with other heavy tools as well. I am retired now time to noodle and enjoy it instead of making a buck. 

I am ready for when the SHTF that is if the don't drop a nuke close, which they probably will. lol  Then I hope the house is ground zero. 

In California before I left I was a partner in a supply company for detail supplies to companies that detailed all the cars before going across the auction blocks for Manheim. In Fontana out there they have 100 acres of parking lot for the cars they action every week. Out there the auctions are wild, I have no idea what it's like here. 

Hey and if you're anywhere close to Williamsburg, and need any tools to fix that jeep come on over. I probably have it.
