The stars must be aligned or the Mayan calender is correct . Low and behold, this evening I stopped for some ciggys, came out of the store, and the drivers side wheels were in complete alignment again. Not in the perfect single spoke pointing upwards, like last night. But at an angle 20 degrees off top dead center, but yet at the same angle. Again I check the passenger side and they just weren't quite there, but in sync. So I wonder now, if this phenomenon, it is just the proper ratio of left hand turns to right hand turns, plus mileage of course.

Once again by the time I pull into my driveway, they all came out of alignment. Go figure.

If you weld up those pesky spider gears, at least the rears will stay in phase!

Of course the vehicle is a few thousand more dollars than a regular Corvette.

They learned that from those spinner wheels I see on some of the big tire Impalas. Those should/would always line up as well !
