Description
"They don't make them like they used to", a common refrain after even a small collision. Modern cars are frequently left with expensive damage or totaled in even small collisions. This demo uses the complaint that old cars were better as a vehicle for discussing impulse, energy conservation and why it's better that the car breaks instead of you.
Notes:
This demo will use breakaway glass and may make a bit of a mess.
