Nick, welcome. Whatever you do, don't go to the off-topic forum and read the thread about your car wreck though.

BTW, you should talk your sister into joining the forum, there's an ever-growing female presence on the board, so she'd love it, and all of us would love to her. As gentlemen, of course

hey brandon, alex setup our cars with 0 toe in the front and the force when you drive probably ends up at 1/8"th toe out in the front. i think we are 1/8" toe in the rear.
