WILL A SOLAR FLARE RUIN YOUR CAR? No it will not.
"Would you notice it in your car? No," said Biesecker. "But if you're doing precision agriculture, where you need to fertilize and water exactly where you planted a seed, now the crops won't grow as well. Or if you're doing surveying where you need accuracy to a centimeter, you're impacted."

"Solar flares don't have effect on cars. The circuits are too small for geomagnetic storms and the semiconductors too rugged for getting disturbed by strong ionizing radiation, which you can get during strong solar storms in polar regions."

Most cars will be okay...

But the gas station will not work without the electricity from the failed grid!

Well, that may be so.

However I can tell you for a fact that if I am in my car when a flare / cme kicks off, I get a much worse headache than I do if I am at work inside our steel & concrete building.

So maybe a killer flare won't kill my car, but it seems like it may fry my brain...

I call BS. I've seen a big truck motor killed by an illegally overpowered CB radio. The engine will start right back up, but the point is it does happen with something smaller then the sun.
