What is the air that comes out of old muscle cars hoods?

if a car door isn’t shut properly, it can pop open while the vehicle is moving. In a car with traditional doors, this usually isn’t that much of a problem, but with so-called “suicide doors,” the rear door would not only pop open, the force of the wind could also tear it off. In those days, safety belts were rare, so it’s not difficult to imagine how suicide doors got their name.
