I don't understand how it can be balanced on 3 wheels like that and as well that he took the tire off too. Somebody care to explain?

there could be a TON of added weight in the front left? :dunno:
or perhaps the car is jsut able to balance like that since it's still? i don't know all too much about cars but tahts my 2cents of physics =P

Much of the weight is over the front axle (actually in front of it!), and a large rear sway bar keeps the unloaded right rear compressed.

Stiff sways can definitely do that, but I don't know if that's the case here.
