    I live my life a quarter-pounder at a time. And for those 500 calories or more, im free. I need FRIESSSS! Two of them. The big ones. Oh, and i need them tonight. Youre lucky the double shot of BBQ sauce didnt blow a seam on your nugget box. There she is, 2 pounds of pure beef. My dad ate it in 9.0 seconds flat. Check it out, its like this. If i lose, winner takes my happy meal. But if i win, I take the burger and the toy. To some people, thats more important.

    Does WORKS do alignment?

    I don't think I saw an alignment machine there, but I'm glad to hear that they do alignment.

    Not exactly sure the technical name for the equipment, but when I had my springs installed there they were able to check camber and toe on each individual wheel with....something.

    That is called an "Alignment machine". (Well, as far as I know)
    Because it's been a while since I have been to WORKS, they may have gotten a good alignment machine in the shop.

    LOL my bad! It was something a little different than the usual ones I have seen at alignment shops though...more compact and not mounted to the wheel like I usually see.

    As far as I know they don't have an "alignment machine". A friend of mine said they use some magnetic levels that holds on to the center of the rim and has a bubble levlel to check the camber.
    My girlfriend asked me: "It's either me or the car!".............Boy I miss her cooking.
