Are they still saying it will shut down vehicles and most electronics if they set off emp bombs over the USA?

Only nuclear powers are capable of a real EMP strike. It would need to be a nuclear weapon detonated in the upper atmosphere. We would retaliate and it would escalate into full nuclear war within minutes. Billions of people would die, oh yeah, you car wouldn't start and your cell phone would stop working.

This fellow will be unscathed...

So I don't have any solid references, but in reading here and there it seems like it will not be a 100% shutdown. There are a lot of factors and some things would be unaffected. The Faraday cage is the safest bet and vehicles in steel barns would have a higher degree of protection.

So the short answer is: maybe.

I had to do that one time on a very secret mission. After the Ultra-Nationalist Russians had invaded the East Coast and were kicking the crap out of the U.S. Military, the SAS team I was assigned to had to infiltrate a Russian submarine base. I took it upon myself to launch a nuke from the sub into outer space. I sacrificed one space station and a few Astro-naughts, but the following EMP allowed the U.S. to regain the upper hand.

Fixed.
