I'm kind a surprised this thread is still going, with most of us agreeing the OP needs an alignment. Anyway... Yeah, by the time I got my Mustang I didn't trust dealers with alignments any more. The times a dealer did a good alignment on my car, it was because I knew the technician from...

When danger reared its ugly head, he bravely turned his tail and fled. Yes, brave Sir Robin turned about, And gallantly he chickened out. Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat. Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Robin!

So, you can use whatever vented carbon fiber hood you want, and eventually you do want to learn all the things about suspension. 😁 And when you eventually put 285+ treads on the car, you can block off the scoops for the "air curtains" and reduce the drag a tad. I think you'd get a better drag...

Autocross! Now I understand a need for cooling. I used to autocross a stock Nissan with a solid hood, in El Paso. My engine was apparently fine, but my brake and power steering fluids would turn brown every year. It might depend on your class but I bet a factory vented hood is probably...

Well, the output holes in the fender liner are small for a reason, aren't they? And the scoops on front are bigger? Some engineers did a bunch of calculations and then wind tunnel testing to make sure they worked. ...And they're apparently irrelevant if your front tires are 255s or wider...

I imagine different people look for different red flags. To me, that short-throw shifter is a sign that a previous owner thought very differently from me and maybe I don't want that car. 4 owners in 33,000 miles is also a strong sign. The first one probably cluster-****ed the break-in. The last...

That's pretty ironic for a Honda Civic, isn't it? 😄 I've lived with that irony in a 2008 Evo X. It's rather pudgy for a compact 4-door (3589 lbs) has the friction of multiple gearboxes, and every gear but 1st is short as **** People who don't know what it is assume it gets about 30mpg, and...

You've gotta love that a Honda comes in Grabber Blue. 😃 Yeah, I know that's not what Honda calls it. But that's what it is on this forum. 😁

I saw this ad for a T-shirt, and it reminded me of the good old days doing autocross with my Datsun 210 wagon, ...back when I thought I had a whole 60hp. 😄

Perhaps the OPs tires have aged out by time or track cycles, then. I wonder if they'd be good at one more track night.

You mean they hold the car as collateral until you pay for the wall you hit?

It's possible. Tire compounds tend to be affected by heat cycles, and also have a limit on their shelf life before they lose grip. The Michelins and Continentals probably age at different rates. If you look at the treadwear ratings on the tires, do the Continentals have a higher number? If...

I overheard something about a Camaro, so maybe it's time to post this again...

Michael Bay has yet to design an EV: They burn, but they don't explode. They're using a zillion little cells that catch fire if they get hot enough, so one hot, damaged cell catching fire can cause a chain reaction that goes on for days. Firefighters are less worried about a Tesla exploding in...
