The question is not to know how thick is an aura, but if the hardened
armor has one. Remember that cras do have auras(however faint) so that
you cannot target auras in the car because they are IN the car's aura. Or
you can rule that you can target people in cars(since glass in
transparent in the astral) which does make more sense to me. It boils
down to, if a car blocks spells in your game, anything as complicated(so
that it has an aura) will to. The good thing about that is that the armor
will become a possible target for spells like wrecker!
