Joe is your average American guy who just happens to be a serious prepper and has about 1&1/2 to 2 years of food and water socked away. Joe also has his license to carry a concealed weapon and does so religiously. One day Joe drives down to Bakersfield from his home in Sacramento to check out a deal on a horse. While driving through downtown Bakersfield Joe's car suddenly stalls (as do all the other cars on the street) and when he attempts to call a tow truck he discovers his cell phone is dead. Joe notices that the street lights are not working and it dawns on him that the US has suffered an EMP attack. As he looks about he realizes that just about everybody within view will most certainly be dead within a year and that many of them will die within a few short weeks. As he is contemplating the situation, and wondering how in the name of heaven he'll get back to Sacramento he hears the sound of a car approaching. Around the corner comes a guy driving a 1957 Chevy, slowly weaving in and out of all the stalled cars on the street. He comes to a stop right smack dab in front of Joe and yells, "WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON?" My question to you is, what should Joe do?

Wake up JOE!
Joe apparently has no knowledge of current events, his car has no radio and he must live in a cave. In any non-natural disaster/event there would be some idea about hostilities, terrorist activity, etc.
Even 911 had warnings we just ignored them at the highest levels.
So, to play along, get out of the car and ask the Pre EMP car guy for a lift! EMP is not that big a deal. A couple of days of discomfort, water is still available, just sit tight and wait for the Nanny State to rescue you!TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

You're asking whether Joe should jack the car. That's all you're really asking. No.It cannot be inherited, nor can it ever be purchased.
You and no one alive can buy it for any price. It is impossible to rent and cannot be lent.
You alone and our own have earned it with...Your sweat, blood and lives. You own it forever.
The title is....."United States Marine".

Joe should say "If you want to live come with me".

If Joe has 1.5 years worth of food at home, then he certainly has a bug-out/get-home bag and a good set of hiking boots in his vehicle, so he walks home and bugs in. End of story.Comment

Joe should look into the camera, adjust his sunglasses, and say "Looks like things just got... fried." Cue The Who (air guitars for those with good imaginations), cut to the old man pulling an alternator for a tan hummer from the back of his truck, a little A-Team fix-it montage, and the two tear off for Vegas before the security alarms start working again.
Seriously, does anyone actually know how big a blast would have to be to kill everything everywhere? AAAARRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!
But take heart Joe, all our electronics are made on China which was untouched and replacement parts are already on the way.

How can Joe be a serious prepper and be dumb enought to leave his Underground Command Bunker? He has his legions of CalGuns Minions to run errands for him! Joe, If you never, Ever, EVER leave, you won't get into trouble! Simple enough, even for Joe!TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
