Default Lightning vs Car vs You

What happens when lightning hits a car...with you in it?

You will likely survive.
The car will likely not survive. with all the electronics blown out, half the windows, a couple of tires and the air bags.

In fact, it may even burst into flames.

A sturdy building is your best bet.
