As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
I would strongly recommend for the final prep that each of you invest in some repair manuals. This is one I have in Chiltons for old Fords as I have a few old Fords for prep.
I have also one for outboard motors. It would not hurt to have something for 2 cycle or those lawnmower, chainsaw engines.
You must be aware that things will stop being manufactured, and no one can know all about tearing things down and assembling something again, so how to books are key. It occurs I should probably have something on electric motors too.
Thee most vulnerable part in automobiles is the batteries. It is not so much a problem in Zone 5 south, as it does not get cold enough to freeze batteries, but in the north, these new vehicles with all their elecronics, drain batteries in 3 months. They will then freeze in cold weather. I doubt with piles of dead people that someone is going to have the thought to go around and with a wrench, unhook and gather piles of batteries, as they are heavy, and then store them in some, then dead rich person's mansion basement or a public shelter, but those batteries would then with still a charge, remain viable for decades.
Of course old vehicles and tractors do not drain batteries, and they will last for years.
It would be logical to find a list of the car collectors in your locality, and just keep that list, as old cars gathering dust in the vaxed dead or the feather flu is something which would put you a step ahead of the other carnivores who have not thought that far ahead.........as they were not donating to the Lame Cherry either.
Just remember as JYG practices that every vehicle is a storage reservoir of resources. Batteries, copper wire, gasoline, oil and antifreeze. All the things for transportation are concentrated in vehicles, and the newer they are, the sooner they will not be viable.
