Bwahahahahaha! ROFLMAO
Actually (ok - nerd moment) there have been experiments in lining entire rooms in foil or foil like material(s) to protect from the dreaded EMP blast from a high altitude nuclear detonation - all the rage right now with the DoD and the threat posed by Iran or other turds of mass destruction.
Some scientists argue that all vehicles would be disabled (MY POOR HUMMER!!! ARGGGHHHHH) by such a blast but others say that a car is naturally protected because the wavelenghts of EMP are too large to get through the openings on top of and around a vehicle. Essentially, the vehicle's body provides a Faraday Box / Cage principle. The only problem might be the if a wave hits a metal bumper or antenna just right and is carried on into the electrical (i.e. computers) components of the vehicles. Some say that anti-static straps could also bleed off the EMP, leaving the vehicle unscathed. And of course, most older vehicles with a distributor would likely be spared as such a blast would have little or no effect on non-circuit ignitions per se, etc.
I wonder what an H3 would look like wrapped in foil???
If we could survive the EMP blast, we could then ferry our H3s to Iran and drive over Ahmadinejad's head - one at a time, lockers engaged, spewing pig's blood from Super Soakers
Ok, my quasi-nuclear, electrical engineering physicist, counter-terrorist wannabe rant is now complete.
