Good therapists don't take insurance.

Just PayPal the full session fee to the 'mudgeons donate link ;0)

Is there a donate link btw? Who is losing money on this place and can we donate?

No, that is the expected result of toe-in.

This is probably also true.

Good point. I recall us contributing a nominal amount ($10 or so) a couple of times years ago to pay for software updates and stuff.

Maybe someone has been buying a lot of carmudgeons thongs and the site is rich off the profits.

Matt,

Toe kills tires more than camber does. Toe plus camber is a tire killer.

The Cayman R has soft compound tires, and regardless of the alignment it's going to go through rears quickly. Fronts will last a long time.

The bottom line is if you're not happy, take it back and have them fix the rear to have less camber.

They gave you a maximum grip and stability alignment.

Is it your DD? Otherwise probably ok. But, as a woman, it resonates with me to hear of some know-it-all overruling what you've specifically asked for. Very patronizing.
