Yes but the surface area is so small it has a very low drag coeffient.

How does the shape of the car affect its speed?
If you have a big truck instead of a little car such as my dads Honda crx, the shape of it creates wind resistance so your engine has to work harder to fight the wing. Basically you get less gas milage not that trucks get good gas milage anyways.
How does the weather affect the motion of a car?
Weather affects the motion of a car in a variety of ways the primary reason being aerodynamics. If conditions are windy then your car will be affected by the wind due to the wind resistance of the vehicle. Water can also affect the motion of a car due to it's affect on a roadway and moving parts of the car like the wheels. When cars are built all these factors are taken into consideration and that's why cars are shaped and designed the way they are, to minimize these effects.
Can air resistance affect the distance that a toy car does?
Why not
What forces act on a balloon car?
wind resistance, gravitational force, friction.
How does the shape of a plane affect speed?
It's due to resistance. If you are in the car roll down the window and put your hand into the air stream (provided it's safe to do so). First hold it upright with your palm flat, you will feel the wind pushing against your hand. Then tilt your hand so it is horizontal and you will notice there is a lot less resistance. If you have a large flat or blunt shape it will take a lot more energy to move it. This is why aircraft (with the exception of some cargo aircraft) are streamlined.
How does wheels affect a car's speed?
because the weight of your wheels and the size has wind Resistance on your car

What is the shape of a car which reduces air resistance?
The streamlining shape.
Where does wind resistance occur?
Wind resistance may occur anywhere where there is something i the way of the wind. Whether it may be a person, a car, or a mountain, they all resist the wind.
How is energy lost in a toy car?
Friction and wind resistance.
Why do a roof rack on your car slow you down?
Wind resistance.
Does a car use wind resistance?
Wind resistance (actually, Air Resistance) works against a car- it has to push air out of the way. Cars that are "streamlined" are designed so they slip through the air more easily than those that are not.
Name all the factors that affect the distance taken for a toy car to stop after rolling down a ramp?
- The slope and length of the ramp. - The rolling friction between the tires and the ramp/ground. - The air resistance (which is dependent on the velocity and geometrical shape of the car). - The direction and speed of the wind. - The smoothness of the ground (a rugged surface will slow the car down).

Why not
What forces are there on a car?
gravity, friction, driving force and wind resistance..

How do aerodynamics improve car designs?
It decreases the mpg by lowering the wind resistance pushing against the car.
