Well it's "new car" time. My engine went out in the old 2002 Cavalier yesterday. I view it as a prepping opportunity too:
I need a daily driver that can double as a BOV.
The Cavy worked ok with my current preps. I could get my BOB, my limited gun inventory, and a few boxes of food and water into it. The biggest flaw with the car though is the lack of 4wd and the scarcity of oil in a long term SHTF situation.
Does anyone else have a BOV that they use as their daily driver? I'd love to hear the strengths and weaknesses of your vehicle.
The big thing that matters to me is utility. I'm not opposed to the idea of a truck, but I feel it would leave your preps vulnerable unless you had a locking cover or cap. I also like the idea of a smaller SUV like a Ford Escape or something comparable.
