1 - You are getting an alignment
2- You are in Anaheim, CA. Coordinates N33.816667 / W117.875 (Auto Center Auto Body ?)
3 - Because it does NOT require the car to be lifted

Cheers!

1) What am I doing: Alignment
2) WHERE am I doing it: In the car (guessing Sears because of the Hunter)
3) WHY am I doing it this way: Because you want your weight (and the Mountain Dew's) to be part of the calibration; and it's cheaper to ride the Hunter than admission into Disney World(?)

I'll try for some additional information points ...

1. You always drive the car alone ... or
2. You don't drive alone but have such a light girlfriend/wife that they have no affect on alignment ... or
3. You don't drive alone but have such a hot girlfriend/wife that you don't care that they throw the alignment out, because you have your mind on other things besides driving.

alignment shop
inside car for weight distribution
Bottle to make sure wheel stays where you want it, and there is a difference with weight in car during alignment

Mostly #1..bout 150mi a day in fast twisty mtn roads.

With a 'straight' alignment, I burn up that one rear tire from toe very fast.

Duh, never thought about planting myself in the driver's seat. Makes perfect sense...
