I'm pretty sure this is an urban legend. A lightning strikes to ground, i.e., it does not strike an isolated object charging it with leathal voltage. A car would mearely shorten the lightnings route by a few feet. The damage to your cars paint and quite possibly the electric system would still be quite substansial
