Only if you have another counterpoise prepared other than the vehicle;
otherwise it all needs to be bonded to the vehicle to raise the (already
meager) antenna efficiency. Short HF vehicular antennas only run in the
lower single digit efficiencies, Buddipole or not. You have to do all
you can to make it at all.
Just because it loads and shows a good SWR doesn't mean it's working
well, even a dummy load has a good match. Mobile HF is an art.

No ignition noise or bonding to worry about.
