This is why a few weeks ago I put in place a plan for the family to have a ground zero for messages and meeting. A place for everyone to leave messages in case of a technology breakdown and a loss of contact.
Just think of it no cell phones, internet hell even you cars/trucks have chips that can be fried. Just how would you find someone???

Will it fry points and condenser? And a brush generator with mechanical voltage regulator rather than solid state electronic? One that can be push started and driven even if no battery is present? Reason I ask is I didn't get out with the old and in with the new, I kept a couple old vehicles and never sold or traded them in when buying newer vehicles over the years.

Points condenser should be OK. It is solid state that can be effected!
My 70 VW was converted to solid state. Still have to the parts and know how to go back if need be.
A good flash can wreck shear havoc on IC's and trani's .....

That's good to know. I didn't keep them for this reason, honestly I never really thought about it until lately. They were just vehicles that my wife and I were driving when we first met and I just kept them.
I guess I'm maybe weird to be sentimental of some things but I also kept our kids first little Honda 50 and all these years later I have grandchildren fixing to learn on it before long like their mother and uncle did.

Just to keep our minds right, the 'flash' that fries non-internet-but-electronic-dependent cars isn't hacker action, it's the electro-magnetic-pulse (EMP) from a nuclear explosion. That is therefor a lot worse on the disaster scale that a Ruskie-engineered revolt of our electronic servants.
In the event that an EMP fries your car's electronics you'll probably want a well-equipped fallout shelter to survive the first couple of weeks in a semi-civilized style.

Hardly anyone has a good fallout shelter. You need fresh hepa filtered air, power, a sewer drain, adequate security, and a radiation physicist to let you know whether to shelter in place, or flee. You also need to know where the explosions happened.

I'm sure Don doesn't care about all that. Now that he's POTUS, someone else will ensure he's safe. Nobody else matters.

Given that people are likely to lack all that information and expertise, two weeks is the usual wag. Much less would be enough in many places. Bad idea to be right downwind from a large and dirty one though.
My point is that if you're going to worry about an EMP frying your car, you have a lot of other stuff to worry about first.
