Aren't the odds of a meteor hitting a stationary vehicle and a moving vehicle the same? It's still taking up the same amount of surface area at any given point. I was thinking about this exact question earlier tonight, as my son has a book about a meteorite in the Smithsonian that hit a parked car.
