Im in the silver z28 with a black berger panel and chrome ZR1s, full exhaust/tune/cutout... Texas A&M Engineering sticker on the back. Are you a freshman?

A year ago I could have gotten you a free alignment at NTB on 6 there by home depot on university, but I think all the guys that worked there have moved on, I can check on it though. Other than that idk about shops..

best alignment by-far is Mansels in Bryan. Go down South College by Harry's and they're on the right before you get to downtown Bryan
