That list sucks, like most such things. For a car to use after everything goes to pot: It has to have points in the distributor and be able to run on any kind of halfass combustible. That makes it an old diesel, and mate it to a standard transmission. Put it in a truck with bigazz tires to get you to anywhere and that's it. Anything with a computer is dead after the EMP strike, and gas lasts a year, tops, properly preserved but you can brew your own diesel juice.

I honestly think that a survivalist wouldn't have the spare time and energy to keep a car

-running

-fueled and

-not stolen



Driving one around would just be announcing to everyone "please follow me and rob me in my sleep". I'd use a light vehicle to escape town in the early days, but that's about it unfortunately.

you did say "for the end of the world" not the end of civilized life. In the event the worlds ends this is all that you need, everything else will turn return to the earth (decompose).

In a zombie apocolypse... YOU will likely be a zombie. The chances of you being the sane few are a billion to one. Did you win the megamillions jackpot?

What if we are the zombies in the apocalypse, and our former civilisation is hiding elsewhere?
