For the French majors it's Deux...

Okay, I'll try on the Physics thingy...

A common physics formula is: Force=Mass x Acceleration (F=MA), there is less mass in a ballon filled with lighter than air gas than the surrounding air around it. The ambient air compresses behind the ballon pushing it forward.

The car will gradually get lighter! . . . As the coolant leaks out after you hit that tree just up ahead!
