Wind effects?
I was driving across the Yolo County causeway (think a raised 6 line highway, 30 ft above a bunch of rice fields) last night about 3 am. I'd estimate there were about 30 mph winds, coming from due south -- and I was heading due east, so they were pretty much exactly perpindicular to my course of travel. I was getting blown around the lanes like an old VW beattle. The semi trucks were moving a little bit within their own lanes, but I was having to fight my car to keep it in the lane -- much less heading exactly straight. Other cars on the road were being affected, but not as significantly as mine. Specifically, I recall passing a Chevy Corsica and a Ford Taurus -- both were tracking much better than I was.
My tires aren't bald (they are the stock Continentals), and my steering alignment is just fine (I drove this morning on a straight, flat road and it tracked perfectly straight). Any ideas why my car has aspirations to be a kite?
