What would happen if a lightning hit your car

I'm not an electrician or scientist but the car and occupants are not in danger because of the tyres. The car is not earthed and therefore the electrical charge doesn't conduct to the earth.

I am an electrical engineer and i know this stuff. Air doesn't conduct current and than we have lighting. At high enough voltage even a dielectric like air or rubber can conduct electricity. I hope I made it clear.
