If I'm driving 60mph and I stick my hand out my window, am I feeling 60mph winds?

I would think so.

it depends! is the wind blowing from behind or from infront. If the wind is comming from infront of you, you have to add the speed of the car and the wind since you are feeling it more! if the wind is blowing from behind, you subtract the speed of the wind from the speed of the car!

If there is no natural winds, then yes.

What an interesting question... I had never thought of such a thing. On one hand, I want to say yes, because every action has an equal and opposite reaction and you are displacing the atmosphere at a rate of 60 mph... but on the other hand, I want to say that since air is matter, it has inertia (albeit a very, very small amount) and so while it is being displaced rapidly, I don't believe the displacement would be equal to the speed of the moving vehicle.

In short, I have no idea, but I will probably lay awake tonight thinking about it!
