Next time your car is on a computerized alignment machine, step out of the

car while the machine is still hooked up and have a look at the differences

in readings.  I'll still insist on being in the driver's seat while my car

is aligned.



I've watched several race cars get aligned while waiting for my turn, and

the shop guys had to sit in them if the car owner wasn't there to do it.

Maybe there is a market for driver simulator weights. :-)
