For all of you doomsday preppers, one more thing to worry about in the video below.  Something to consider when you are out shopping for your next car---wifi might not be an option you want.

The best doomsday vehicle is something old, like pre 1970's. NO electronics. Points ignition or diesel.

It would be a lot simpler if they basically did not network the entertainment system with the rest of the car electronics. The essential systems should only be accessible via a physical connection, i.e. via a USB port.

I've read two or three news stories of people breaking into cars and then, after 5 minutes of trying to figure out what the hell the stick shift is and why there are 3 pedals, they give up and leave.

It's probably the best theft deterrent.

None of that automatic braking BS either.

My kid will learn how to drive a manual transmission car. It's part of being a man.

How old is he?  There might no be any manuals left by the time he grows up.

He can learn on my tractor.

It'll still run. ;)

He's turning 14. He'll inherit my current car eventually.

There's plenty of stick shifts over this side of the pond... [thumbsup]

Although I have to admit my latest van came as standard with an auto tranny which is a first for me... [bang]
