| Description: | A car with its doors removed shows us the steering torsion test, as weights are added to the steering mechanism to steering response. A car windscreen is used as the fourth wall of a fish tank to check for leaks. A shiny new car is painted with a solution of soap and water for the draft test. Air pressure inside the car causes bubbles where air is escaping. | |
