My local dealer quoted me $129.99
And that's why your tires wear out so fast, they aren't doing the alignment correctly I bet.

I had the track alignment set up when the camber plates were installed. I knew I was going to go through the 1st fast.

Now that I have it up here in the Panhandle, I was switching back to the street alignment. That's why the clown at Firestone was stumped and got it "close".

Called local Ford dealer here and that was the price I was quoted. But, they could not get it in to the shop in my time frame. I regret rushing the alignment but will get over it.

Good point. I don't remember hearing of the episode where he removed his camber pins. But really, you don't think the kiddo dumped his CFTP over consumables, do you?

He's sporting a McLaren now. The whole thing was an excuse to move on up to an exotic. If he can't afford tires, brakes, and gas, what makes him think he can afford to service a McLaren?

Thanks for the video Tim. Getting a track aligment done at a local speed shop tomorrow and wanted to make it as easy as possible for them.
