   Local Mechanic's Aligner Machine 'Insists'On Spec Settings   
      
   After a busy winter and the associated pot holes afterward,   
   I decided to have my car's alignment checked at a shop I   
   have used in the past, on my current car and on previous ones.   
      
   The guy is no 'McDonalds' aligner(just "get em in the green"),   
   and accommodates specific customer needs, as long as not    
   too 'out there'.   
      
   But two weeks ago was different:  While he did maintain the    
   negative thrust angle I asked him to achieve last year, he    
   claims his Hunter rig would 'not let him proceed to the next    
   step of  the  alignment  if  he  did  not  get  the toe spot on'   
      
   My request  was simple:  0.03° of  front  toe-in  on  a 2010 Honda   
   Accord  that  specifies  0° front  toe,  but  a  range  of  0.08°  in     
   or  out.     Another  aligner  I  have  used  says  he  does  race  setups    
   and can  accommodate    
   custom  settings.     
      
   So  what's  up  with  the  first gy?
