Would you rather be in your boat or car when it was struck by lightening?

I wasn't making an argument so much as asking a question.

You're probably at a greater danger of being struck at your home or marina (more things to attract the initial strike) than you are out on the water.

In response to your question, I'd "rather" be in neither, but when a storm comes up in either case I try to get to safety as efficiently as possible in a sane manner.
