Driving a 2002 Grand Prix GT <--- rental not mine)....Mild day....Kids
rolled the back windows down....created a "vortex" that caused  the radio to
sound "funny" <---funny hmm...not funny ha ha)....It also literally hurt our
ears.


Plus today's cars are NOT designed to run with windows down. 
  The wind drums on your ears and head and it isn't pleasant 
in most new cars.

Get in any 50's and 60's car and roll down the windows and 
you get lots of beneficial air flow, but none of the beating 
you take in a new car!

And no, I don't think the old cars were that bad 
aerodynamically.  My 66 GP is quieter at speed than my 97 
SHO!  Air that is disturbed is noisy air.
