RE: Urban EW (was RE: Ricochet and various wireless (was: Re: [PLUG] key-signing Thursday?))


What kind of shape is it in?  Does it have classic plates?  We used to have
a '71 Special.  The cost of the repairs made it prohibitive to keep after a
while.

I would suspect a diesel to be immune as well.  At the very least, they can
operate following an EMP as well.  That's just in case the the LAPD acquires
nuclear capability as well (and the vehicle survives the initial blast).

Well, gee, when I take my next job as a getaway driver in LA, I'll
be sure to do it in a pre-computerized car.

Do you think a 1960s Fiat would draw too much attention?

Sheesh...
