Re: Sept 14, 2013 - Post Event
Well, just got back from the alignment shop...yet again (the car was aligned on friday the 13th). After driving the vette to work this past Friday, I found that the passenger side rear camber bar and toe rod bars where only hand tightened...so both where completely loose. The print out today showed 4.4 degrees of negative camber instead of 1 degree negative, and .44 degrees of toe in, instead of .06. No wonder I finished 6th in class.

I had an employee once who's "hand tight" was unbreakable even with a "cheater bar".
Next time shake their hand before you let them touch your car. If they make you cry your car will make you smile.

The shop I go to has always done a great job (and the only one that EVER got my bagged truck aligned right). I guess friday the 13th isn't Dave's lucky day. Next alignment is free for me! Just didn't help at the last autocross.

If you trust anyone other than your wife with your scrotum (bag) you are in serious trouble.
I got it fixed for "free". But for some reason I'm still pissed off about it. "Spoiled my day out."
