OK, dumb question time:

The alignment specs for Toe show (unpressed +25')

What does "unpressed" mean, and what does a positive + value mean - toe in or toe out? I assume toe in.

I am doing a simple check at home before taking it to the alignment shop.

SEARCH is my friend. Found the answer. "+" is for Toe-In

but not sure what "unpressed" means.
The specs in Adrians book show Front - Toe - Upressed +25' I assume this is per wheel?
The Rear specs table says "per wheel"

Found this on a tire site, sounds like additional weight in the car being loaded. i always though the car should have the same load as when you drive it ?
"When aligning a vehicle, it's appropriate for the vehicle to be carrying its "typical" load. This is important for drivers who continuously carry loads in their vehicles, such as sales representatives with samples or literature in the trunk. Additionally, when a vehicle is used for autocross or track events, some racers will sit in their car, or have the alignment shop "ballast" their vehicle to include the influence of the driver's weight on the suspension angles." from tirerack.com
