I have no problem with a bug out rig at all my concern is if you have to sell current items to get one you should look at it real hard. If the Glock is not needed or wanted then sell it and if the Jeep is what you feel you need over everything else then do it.
I personally do not feel a bug out rig is a high priority for me because of where I live and work but not knowing where he lives or works it is a tough call to tell some one what to do. His car may do just as well and he all ready has that. So extra gas maybe all that is needed to get him to a Bug out Location for now and latter getting the jeep when he saves the money..
If your jeep had been crushed in the car port your only choice would have been to walk and the 4 wheel drive would do you no good. Or in a real bad riot a few rounds in the radiator and engine block from some jerk that wants your rig will shut you down as well.
So yes they are nice to have but they are not the end all be all to survive.

When the 2001 Nisqually earthquake hit I was working in Renton. It took an hour or two before I could leave work (I parked in a parking garage and civil engineers had to approve allowing us to get our vehicles out of it, deduct point for bad choice of parking). I did live just over a mile from work and could have walked if necessary (add point). When I got to some railroad tracks between work and home there were cars sitting there with the R/R guards down and lights flashing. There was no train. The shifting of the earth set off the warning and people were actually sitting there waiting. Since I had my Jeep I just drove around the cars, up over the tracks, and back onto the road to get home (add point).
