i'm afraid to ask this question, as i fear the answer will be embarrassingly simple, but how do I capture the sound of a moving car (on a highway), without getting all that cheapy-sounding camcorder wind noise? I have an external mic. Do just put a wind screen on it and point it towards the engine?

So your getting just the car sound?
This is actually a really good question.
To get the best sound, you'll need at least a four track recorder, and here's why.
Typically sound effects recordists will put a mic under the hood, a stereo pair in the passenger compartment, and another on the tailpipe.
I would use a sanken cub-1 inder the hood, some sort of decent stereo pair of mics on the inside, and then a sennheiser mke2 on the tailpipe.

what I do is use a wireless lapel mic (Sony) and place on the cars body close to the tail pipe.
Works well for me, since there is no wind blowing on the mic there.
Thanks,
