I agree they suck in the long term but a truck would help for getting and transporting supplies to build fortification. I can confidently say only an idiot would go on foot to get building supplies for a base.

Problem one solved========Gas, diesel, even kerosene that are stored at gas stations are pumped electrically. So no power, means no raiding a gas station for fuel. You will be stuck with what you have when the lights go out--------- WRONG! Even tho they have motorized pumps its still a belt and pulley system. all you would have to do is simply remove the housing to the pump and attach a hand crank. I would NOT suggest doing this during the first weeks of the infection as there would draw alot of attention to you and you would need some time to find bolt sizes and other things of this nature


Problem two solved=======computer systems that control so much that a problem with something a small as a sensor can cause huge problems-----Yes that is very true with "newer" model cars but I would you would rather have dependability over style. "older" model cars with out dated systems are less integrated and easily bypassed========Even if you're Billy Jim Bob and can fix any problem with the most basic of tool kits, at some time a part is going to break beyond the point of repair------------Replacement parts are mass produced for the sake of a large population, with that same population being at an all time low there will be plenty of parts to go around==========in later years you have to worry about rust----------there are plenty of ways to avoid rust and even safely remove rust. Yes rust is unavoidable but the life span of your transportation can be greatly prolonged by simple maintenance===========So once your battery fails, and it will, you might have a tough time getting a replacement, or recharging one----------------- well the short term fix for this is have at least two batteries, rotate them week by week. as far as long term there is replacement fluids for most car batteries
