I think it was bill nye science guy video or something, but the lightning travels whatever it struck, and...actully, I remember now. In the middle of a metal cage suspended by plastic is the safest place during lightning, because there won't be any left. (electricity) the car works like afunnel or rain drain and carries the charge away from the center of cage/car
