I'M awake... (Yawn)
You can do an alignment at home and be as accurate as a shop or maybe even better. I do mine and it's almost perfect. (and you don't have to deal with all of those rip off shops that want to sell you everything you don't need. I have even had places tell me they couln't align old cars because the specs weren't in their computer to set the machine up. It just take a little time. With the new Laser levels available everywhere you can be very acurate. Chech http://www.corvettefaq.com There are acouple of articles there. Or just do a alignment seach on line. There may be an aticle there if not I can e-mail you a basic how to. It's really not too hard with a few "tricks".

Go to this site, look part way down the page under DO IT YOURSELF and there are a number of articles on home alignment. http://www.corvettefaq.com/susp.asp
