Somebody had fun in the Zilla.
Dropped my car off for the day at a local shop for a front end alignment to finish up on the steering rack fix.
I mentally checked my trip odo. Remember that no repairs were necessary. So no test drive to verify a problem or verify a good alignment would normally happen.
+2.2 miles
different track on my new JVC HU
Exhaust cutout was open when I turned the key
No damage, nothing out of place, so I let it go. Someone sure had fun. Other than the trans shop, this is the only time I've left my car somewhere for work. Couldn't help it yesterday.

They probably verified alignment of not only the wheels, but the steering wheel.
Got a little DQ on the way and thought your exhaust cutout control was some new fangled stereo control, typically a shop will turn the radio off or down to listen for odd noises.

They knew nothing about my steering and would have known it was straight when they put it up on the lift.
I know for a fact these guys don't test-drive after alignments.
I think the ride onto the lift sparked some curiosity.

i once took my 88 sse to aamco for a replacement of a few tranny lines and i hit the reset on the trip meter and when i got it back it said almost 11 miles and my gas was a lil lower also. i no they had no reason to test drive the car as well but they were always very nice and extremley chaep with their prices so i also let it go. i kinda thought it was awsome that some one else wanted to pimp my car for a few.. lol
