1) sitting in traffic, as the big vehicle passes, the air is displaced into a crude venturi, accelerates, and loses pressure, as per Bernoulli's Theorem, with the less massive car rolling on its chassis into this low pressure, then relaxing once the air resumes local barometric pressure after the truck rides into the sunset, with the credits rolling.
2) somewhere, east of Eiesenhower Tunnel, on I-70, a pressure ridge spanned the entire lane, and the little trailer wheels acted as if on a Vail ski jump, sending Viking airborne, in a curve, then jerking back into train as the wheels touched down. Very disconcerting!
