Any EMP strong enough to affect automotive electronic ignition systems,
even without the shielding of a metal hood, would have to come from a
source so close that the blast itself would incinerate the vehicle.
The danger from EMP is highly overrated because of the concern for its
potential to impact power grids or anything connected to an antenna
system capable of accumulating a large charge.
Most everything around the house won't be affected at all. If you happen
to have one of your receivers on at the time, and the noise blanker off,
you might hear a click.
Unless your beverage or long wire is several miles in length, you are
safe, and have far more danger from a lightning strike.
