Of course if you filled the whole car with helium (after seriously

A few dozen cubic feet of helium won't lift a person, let alone
several thousand pounds of car.


Ask the guy in the lawn chair with the balloons and the bb-gun. He
khnows all about how much helium is needed.


The Myth Busters did that one and it took hundreds of very large
balloons to lift a small child. You man in the lawn chair was proven a
myth.
