So the metal body of your car did not shield you from the strong RF 
field of your transmitted signal; but its interior cavity was excited 
with the greatest possible field-strength.  Just like a microwave 
oven, with 10-m wavelength.  No joke.  (Was _your_ post?!)

If you drove in winter in North Dakota, I might understand why you 
did it; but the numeral in your callsign is "5".
