Note:
"Cases have been reported of total destruction of vehicle wiring, and
associated electrical and electronic systems. Cases from police
departments report bad burns to the hands and mouth where officers
were using radio microphones when their vehicles were struck. Cases
describe total blow-out of all four tires in passenger cars."

Hence my original statement from near the beginning of the thread,
restated a number of times in different ways (ad nauseum most
likely). To wit:

The car would be structurally fine, and the passengers would be
unhurt. The tires and/or the electronics would suffer some (or a lot
of) damage. All of which could be neatly handled by resolving the
primary damage of the spell BTB and then looking to the secondary
elemental effect for guidelines as to secondary damage.
