   I saw today what I think was a Subaru BRZ.  Very pretty car (for a   
   sedan) but what made it unusual were the wheels.  All 4 were splayed.   
   Isn't that the word when the bottoms of the wheels are farther from   
   center than the tops.   I'm not talking about camber or caster or what   
   ever.  These wheels looked like the whole ccar had been dropped 20 feet   
   and some of the parts holding the wheels in place had broken.   
      
   The driver said they were supposed to be like this, but the pictures   
   I've found on line have wheels like all the other cars.   
      
      
   This is a joint development with Toyota that calls it the 86 when they   
   sell/sold it.   
      
   Okay, it is camber, negative camber.

   Still this one was so extreme, and all 4 wheels.
