They poke fun at all sides, so I don't see how the movie will affect anyone.

BTW, the lead animator for South Park went to the University of Nebraska, Kearney... the leftie indoctrination camp I attended for awhile. Trey parker and Matt Stone are both republicans, also: http://www.foxnews.com/story/0%2C2933%2C40820%2C00.html

I know, but with all the claims of left-wing, right-wing media bias, I thought it would be fun to stir people up a little.

There was a "making-of" article in the Sac Bee about this, since they're from the area. Can't wait to see it.

PS - Thom, have you found another alignment shop yet? OK Tire says they don't work on t-bar 911s any more.

Yeah, and it's all my fault I actually got them to align mine again after I did all new bushings and a CB recently, but the love is clearly gone from the relationship. The fundamental problem is they got a new alignment guy who swings more to the 'import' persuasion, and doesn't really know schidt about suspensions. For example, he didn't know to loosen the 2 bolts that hold the trailing arm to the spring plate before trying to turn the eccentrics. He didn't know to remove the shock tower brace before trying to set the front camber & caster. He fscked something up on the front end, such that the steering wheel wasn't straight, so he pops the steering wheel off and re-orients it...and doesn't torque it back down!

I was talking to Ron Kain @ IPB a few days ago, and I was meaning to ask him who does his alignments, but I forgot. Schatz and Krum also does 911 alignments, but you have to leave the car for the day.
