Fat chance. This “EMP is going to ruin the world!” thing has gotten out of hand.

Even if everything, from having the correct nuclear bomb in the first place, to having a missile that can get it into high altitude over the US, to the actual EMP getting into long wire devices, etc., were to be in place the damage would be very minimal and corrected within hours and days.

EMP DOES NOT destroy all things electrical and electronic, counter to what all the ignorant survivalist types claim otherwise.

Agreed. Most cars will still run after an EMP attack, the body acts as a Faraday shield. The car will quit but you have a 90% plus chance of restarting it and get where your going although there have been some tests where on a few cars, your gauges might not work. Your transistor radio would most likely work. He main problem is that it could trip the power grid and electricity will be down in many areas and until you can reset the breakers and so on, that would be a problem. Pumping gas would be a problem of course unless you have a generator, a 12 volt pump or a hand pump. EMP is not the 800 lbs gorilla it is made out to be, more like a 500 lbs one.
