I know most people here aren't massive retards about this, but one of the reasons I've been looking into the motorbike game is because there are far more vehicles out there that are extremely simple to repair potentially by myself and everything is analogue. I'm not that bad when it comes to vehicles and yes I do know that most vehicles currently do not rely on an internet connection DRM style to keep operational as of yet, but that may start changing soon as they keep pushing green agenda nonsense.
However with what we've seen being done to planes I'm going to play it completely safe because the elites are retarded they're probably going to be pushing people to buy electronic vehicles and this will have all kinds of ways to track your positional data as you're travelling through the country. So I'm just putting out a general PSA in that I wouldn't even get a vehicle that has digital display because that's one extra thing to go wrong that you're not going to be able to fix. Imagine having to ride several miles away just to get fuel and you realise you're fucked because an EMP device or something knocked out your digital display so you don't even know how much fuel you have lolz.
If your concern is an EMP, then you're going to want a carburetor. Fuel gauges have been electronic for ages, I can't think of a mechanical fuel gauge system that displays on the dash.
Ironically since you mention planes, if you're concerned about that level of resilience, you want an old plane. Carburetor, magneto, steam gauges, and you can typically easily dip the tanks for fuel level. They rely on electronics for almost nothing. Also still available in operable condition.
If you're concerned about EMPs, you will want your own massive fuel tank that is gravity fed. Fuel pumps at the gas stations won't be working any more either.
I almost put in my first comment, instead of the "If your concern is an EMP," that I'm really not concerned with EMPs at all. The chance of something like that happening combined with the mass chaos that would ensue, if you really wanted to prepare you'd be better off with a rifle and a horse than relying on some sort of mechanical devices that require fuel.
Horses might seem like a good idea but at the end of the day they're living animals and horses especially do take a ridiculous amount of effort sometimes to take care of. I think of a bike precisely because the most you really have to worry about is part replacement and fuel but it's very minimal as well compared to a car which you'd have to do all sorts to repair.
There's also the fact that a horse can buck and bolt off if it gets scared enough and all other sorts of factors so they're not as great as they seem with the options we have now. Especially if there's gunshots happening around you, you think a horse is going to be chill with that getting set off constantly? lol nah you're fucked if it starts panicking.
Will look into that thanks, I don't think we'll necessarily see a proper hot WW3 if we're lucky enough that Trump gets elected and doesn't get killed but it always pays to be prepared for a worse case scenario. I suppose I'll be happy as long as it works in any kind of electronic warfare, could maybe have a look at some kind of other methods at checking the fuel if it could potentially be that much of a problem. lol maybe I don't even need to be that fancy and there's some kind of measuring stick available like with oil now I think about it more.
the power and electronic-destruction potential of EMPs, even from nuclear detonations are vastly blown out of proportion. you'll be fine.
Completely pointless. Unless you are sitting on your own private gas station or have an oil rig in your back yard where you can distill your own diesel, any ICE vehicle is going to be dead weight after the first week of an EMP attack.
