The whoosh of Luke Skywalker's landspeeder was achieved by recording the roar the Los Angeles Harbor Freeway through a vacuum-cleaner pipe.

You could try doing this and see if you get the same effect.

You could check out Lawrence for desert shots, probably best to get some stock footage and make a 3d vehicle with a particle trail. If it is only small in the frame then you wouldn't have to do a great job for it to be convincing. If you grab a hidef video or hires photo it gives you the option to do a camera move on it as well.
