how come wind can push my heavy box-shaped car around when I’m driving 60mph, but it can’t do it when the car is standing still?

Question

Although I have a heavy box-shaped car, I was thinking about the Mercedes G63 specifically. That is a powerful engine on a non-aerodynamic car, what happens if you take it over 100mph and get hit by a gust of 60mph wind? My car gets literally pushed around lanes during heavy winds at highway speeds, has anyone ever even gotten a G63 past 150mph?

Answer 1

If you are still and I push you an inch you move an inch.. if you are walking your first step is an inch off and your second is 2 inches etc. My push altered your course, so the faster you were moving the more it alteres your path.
