Cool Fell in love with my boxster all over again today!

Now I figured the alignment was not accurate ever since I bought the car, but I would not have guessed it was as bad as I discovered this morning!

I know how a proper alignment can transform the feel of a car, and this was no exception. I have a feeling this was the first time this car had been aligned since leaving the factory. The car feels even more amazing now :dance:

I tried to go to work after I had this done, but just couldn't focus... so I took the rest of the day off and went for a little drive

before:
Front
Toe: (L) -0.09 (R) +0.03
Camber: (L) -0.33 (R) +0.51
Caster: (L) +7.86 (R) +7.66

Rear
Toe: (L) +0.13 (R) +0.17
Camber: (L) -1.80 (R) -1.46
Two hours and $145.00 later

After:
Front
Toe: (L) +0.03 (R) +0.03
Camber: (L) -0.41 (R) +0.30
Caster: (L) +7.64 (R) +7.63

Rear
Toe: (L) +0.07 (R) +0.06
Camber: (L) -1.68 (R) -1.68
The tech mentioned that many of those adjustment points were maxed out which surprised me just a little bit, but not enough to worry me. What finally drove me to get the car in was the rapid rate at which my right rear was wearing (down through the wear-bars already) compared to the left rear. In fact I think I am going to have to buy a new right rear already.
