Just broke 2,800 mlles on my 3 month old C-6 coupe. Hit a pot hole the other day, but car shows no signs of pulling in either direction - right front hit the pot hole. How can I tell if an alignment is needed?

Have the Dealer tech set the camber and toe to as close to 0 as he can get.

A bad alignment that can destroy a tire is not necessarily something you can feel in the steering wheel. Inspection on an alignment machine is the only way to tell for sure...except for the long term solution which is to wait and see if a tire gets ruined...then you will know, a little late alas.
