FYL, now go have bath
gods trying to tell u something.. Iol that's what my grandma would say
Fake. Cars can't get struck by lightning. The only way it could is if you didn't have any tires on the car, and even then the lightning would just travel along the exterior of the car and go into the ground.
Cars can and do get struck by lightning. The tires are a non-issue to lightning that is already penetrating several kilometers of air.
Lmaoo yea @13 you dick..
well it had to be somebodys car....
well, life's like that.. shit happens..
ydi for not having rubber tires.
Contrary to myth, while rubber does indeed not conduct electricity, the rest of your metal car will. The only reason why it'd not hurt you is because it's grounded and would go through the car instead of you, since that would be the shorter route. The only way this user would deserve it would be if he was like some of the hicks I have living around here and their 10' antennas.
Just be glad it wasn't you. This way you were able to post this moronic FML.
17, that's exactly what I was going to say. I can't believe that myth has penetrated our social psyche so deep.
The lightning could blow out the computer system. Just because some cars survive doesn't mean every car will
oh my god will the morons talking about tires please stop. it doesn't protect the car at all. how the hell do u think it hits the car? through air... tires won't help at all. and yes you're right ^ sure he might not be hurt but the electrical surge could blow out all of his wiring and computer system his radio his gauges everything
apples
Well, the taller a car or really any object is, the better chance of being struck by lightning.
aren't cars grounded by their tires?
at least you know it won't happen twice.
just be glad u werent in the car...
A shocking situation
Should the metal outside not protect the inside from damage? I thought that when there is a metal shell around something if it gets hit by electricity (lighting) the inside would be unaffected. Or is it that the magnetism caused by the lightning still affects the wiring inside, causing the surge?
109 and 130 - win :P
At least the battery is charged.
ha! nice
I think the 1.21 jigawatts may have overloaded the system. OP needs Mr. Fusion.
Lightning is measured in volts.
marinus - It sounds like you have yet to see Back to the Future.
LOL you fail
thanks for the help pendatik. however is there any constraints to the information? does it resemble one in every 750000 cars on the road, or one in every 750000 minutes while in the road? or one in every 750000 seconds on the road during a storm...?or?
haha ok no probs. I'm actually curious as to what it is relates to. It can't be just one in 750000. But it's getting late-ish here and I cbf researching. night.
Wow that accident must of struck you pretty hard. Hope you have insurance. (No pun intended.)
here at allstate we cover fender benders, rear end accidents, and lightning strikes.
must have*
Puns at a time like this?! I'm shocked.
fake... rubber Tyres earth the car making it a less than 1 in several billion chance that it could be struck by lightening. if ever caught in a thunder storm it is recomended you get in the car because it's just about the safest place to be... unless you park it under a tree...
It had to happen to someone, and while it may have overblown the electrics, that's why the fuse is there, right? It should be quite easy to fix.
unless a spark got in the gas tank
he'll no it wontbe easy to fix the amount of energy in lightning blew all fuses the computer all electrical equipment ant melted the body. probably melted the tires 2
Your crazy hot!

i thought cars didnt get struck by lightning because of the rubber on the tires? It's a genuine question, sorry if i sound stupid.
