I wouldn't think this was possible. The car should be insulated from the ground by the tires.

A few years back, a family driving down a local road here suffered a direct hit on their car by a lightening bolt. Blew out all four tires, fried the electrical system and scared the crap out of the poor folks inside. Fortunately, all survived. Scary stuff.

I was traveling with a friend in a station wagon with a big aluminum canoe on top when we got hit with lightning. It sure did bad things to the vehicle's electrical system and my ears were ringing for hours afterwords.
But I think Faraday saved our bacon that day.

This lightning stuff is obviously dangerous and must be banned for the sake of the children.
I think Kalifornia should be the first to ban that health hazard.

Air is more or less as good of an insulator as a tire's rubber. And lightning travels through air.
