Default Oops, sorry double post...Reading alignment specs

Ok. Did the alignment shop screw up or do I just not understand how to read the spec sheet from the alignment shop.
I asked for a 1/16 toe in on each side in the front, and 1/8 toe in on each side in the rear (using David Farmers suggestion).

The spec sheet indicates +0.13 degrees total toe in the front (+.07 and +.06), and the rear indicates -.20 degrees total toe in the rear (-.09 and -.11). I would interpret the front as being toe OUT. And if that's backwards, then I've got toe OUT in the rear. Third option is neither, and I just don't know how to read the spec. :crazy:

Didn't really hit me until I was on my way home, and the shop had already closed for the day. Does it get fixed tommorrow, or am I a retard?

Steve
