Wind is air flowing high to low pressure.
As your car move it pushes against air creating high pressure around it's body. Air flows to lower pressure, inside of your car(through opened window) that is felt as blownig wind.
When car stops pressure around the car body and inside equalizes, so no wind.

It is not the wind that you feel when the car moves but the air. Air provides resistance just like a liquid or a solid. If instead of just air there was a light pole outside. Would it feel more painful if you were standing still and pushing on the pole or if you stuck your hand out the window and hit it while going 40? The second one of course. Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. The more you push on the air (Which is what you and your car are doing), the more it pushes back on you so you can feel it more when your at a higher speed.

When you are driving a car you move with the same velocity the car has in relation to the mass of air that surrounds it. So even if the wind blows (that means that this mass of air mover with a certain velocity) from the back side of the car towards the front side, when you are driving faster than this speed, it would be the same as if the air would move in the opposite direction with the relative velocity you have in relation to the mass of air. Thus the sensation of wind. When the car is stopped, the air might still move, but if its velocity is too small, you might not sense its movement. Try driving very slowly, in first gear, an see if you have the same intensity of the sensation of wind.

LOL, OK, assuming what the others are not and that you are talking about when your car is sitting still and running, your car could have a really large engine with a really large cooling fan with hood vents that blow past your window.
Otherwise, if you really are talking about feeling the wind blow when the car is moving versus when the car is not moving, they are telling you correctly. It is perceived wind relative to the motion of the vehicle.
If a boat is powering along on a still lake, is there a current?

Wrap your head around this one: the wind isn't blowing. Your moving through the wind.

you are moving through the air so what you feel isnt the wind blowing but air resistance. when you stop moving the air resistance is gone and so you don't feel it.

bcus cars when running become lighter than when stoped and when its lighter in weight it become easily affected by the blowing winds

You really could use some guidance. Ask someone from the 4th grade to help you.
