       Good point?  How do you think the Mech's know what wrench to
turn???  "here's your car Mr. Schumacher, don't bother testing just get
in and go cuz WE(the Mechanics) know the perfect setup.  Loose?  Naw you
must be entering the turn wrong?  Pushing?  Obviously driver error, don't
hit the gas so soon."
       See the wrench guys do do a-lot of work, but they need input,
driver input, if you don't do the time in practice, the mech-heads have
know idea what the car is doing.
