Put me in the camp that believes the EMP threat is being hyped to a certain extent. Yes, it could be very disruptive, but so much is theoritical about how much would be disrupted, for how long and the extent of the areas affected.

Count me in too, EMP is more like a 500 lbs gorilla, not an 800 lbs one. Most cars will restart and run, the big threat is to the power grid itself. If you want to pump gas, you'd better have a generator, a 12 volt pump or a hand pump.
