Where was the car when it was struck - parked or were you driving? Did it damage any of the electronics? Typically when a car is struck by lightning it will blow out the tires and deploy the air bags. You are safe in an enclosed metal-frame body car as long as you are not touching metal. Lightning will be dsicharged off the metal body to ground. Tires play no role. Bikes, golf carts, convertibles, motorcycles are not safe in lightning.
