Question:

Why doesnt a car fly off from the road after attaining a certain speed?

I was wondering why cars don‘t work like airfoils due to their shape. I‘m talking a flat bottom with a curvy top. Sure not your ideal Epler airfoil but why is it that an airplane doesn‘t suddenly shoot up from the road? Is it the density of the car. Also cars usually want downwards force (inverted lift) for more traction right so I suppose that could be a reason.
