Alignment unwound again, and Dub's Garage shined again as they dialed in the final one percent that I needed at no cost (covered under warranty). Five months after the original accident, it drives straight and true.

Occurred at intersection of Purdue and Flour Bluff Drive, Corpus Christi. During a right-hand turn, I clipped a sewer block sticking out of the ground, and then proceeded to clip a culvert. Damage consisted of two flat tires on the right-hand side of the car, as well as damage to alignment, pitman arm, and two dented rims. Vehicle was towed.
