// description: Class Car represents an automobile.  Every automobile is
//              composed of a Chassis, which we want to be defined when
//              the automobile is constructed, not later.
//
//              We thus initialize the chassis component in the constructor
//              for Car to avoid the anomalous situation
//              of an automobile with no chassis.
