Oh, yes. The ole Faraday box. We actually have one at our shop. It shields RF from passing thru it. It has an RF jack on it. We put EPIRBs(emergency position indicating radio beacons) in it for testing; then connect the decoder up to the jack. Otherwise there would be a false alert going out to the satellite.
Re the lightning hitting a car. I believe the theory is, that the car would hold a static charge due to being insulated from the pavement(a difference of potential) between it and the wet puddle you are bound to step into(trust me, lightning causes a wet puddle). 25 yrs. ago, I was directly across the Houston ship channel on a ship when the Chevron Hawaii was struck by lightning and blew totally up. A former collegue of mine and his trainee were leaving the ship and were walking on deck. They and a ship worker were killed. To this day, when I hear a lightning strike, I jump straight up. I was on the bridge of the other ship working on their radar. It cracked all the windows and blew a window out and glass on me. So, like you, I dont think I would be stepping out of the car.
