I swear that is the first thing you learn in an autoshop class. (Besides safety).

I've sat in that exact car. Have the pics somewhere...

Just sad to see a car fucked up like that by incompetence. Tire shop always looks at me weird when I bring in one set one day and the next the second. They never see the 240sx.

ya Lotus's are straight up sick. Ya tire shops can be very scary. A lot of those guys just go at it like you own a industructible truck.

That sucks. I'd never take such a special car to a bunch of hacks at a tire shop. That car will probably never be the same.

clearcorners.com has dibs on the taillights, y0. :-)

no worries, this is why shops and people have insurance....

...and this is why insurance companies raise premiums. <g>

Damn...that looks bad. I'm guessing he only took it to that shop because of his father-in-law (wanted a hook-up). Even then, I would never take it to a shop like that.

Raise the wheels off the ground slightly and rock the car violently to see if it falls.

That was taught the first day of the ASE curriculum, which I highly doubt the technician has ever been through.
