Alot of things in the unvierse contain Hydrogen, as hydrogen and carbon are the basis for organic chemistry. The sun is a massive nuclear reactor, reacting hydrogen to form helium at a very fast rate. It would not be practical to get hydrogen from the sun because of this.
However when we advance in nuclear fusion we could have 'little suns' powering our cars. The problem with all this is safety and carrying an abundance of hydrogen is extremely dangerous. But to answer the question hydrogen is much easier extracted from other means, like a hydrogen fuel cell.

Good plan. All we have to do is build a pipeline to the sun and start sucking up all that free hydrogen.

We could try, but the sun has a surface temperature of almost 10,000 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's a good idea to keep distance.
However, people are working on trying to make fusion reactors, like small suns on Earth. They could power most of the electricity we'll ever need if we could make them.

No. Anything getting that close would be vaporized.

why dont you be the first to try that

and how can we do that without getting melted?
