anyone do toe alignment by string? might give this a try since i need to get an alignment on my G anyway. im very meticulous about setting things up so this might be something i can do well.
was watching some track guys doing alignment this way and they said it works very well. some were also using the toe plates and tape ruler, but imo, string is better cause i can get toe angles per side. |

It's not just about the music, even though music culture plays a huge role in fashion. You'd be surprised at what things you like now that evolved from a time period or fashion movement that you didn't care for. That's the way fashion trends work; They take inspiration from what's going on currently as a starting point and progress in a different direction to create something new. Grunge stole from punk and mixed it with the flannel culture that was popular in its birthplace. This evolved into mainstream grunge as we saw in stores like American Eagle Outfitters when they first started popping up in the mid to late 90's. Flannel was everywhere, whether it was dirty and used, or dressy and designer. If you like A&F today, you need to thank the 90's. It's also very cyclical. Today's hipster fashion parallels 90's grunge in so many ways. Even the attitude is similar. Maybe not as angry, but definitely filled with a lot of disdain for mainstream culture. Funny thing is, car mods follow the same ebb and flow. For a few years, everything is shiny. Then it's blacked out. Then it's back to shiny again... or neon coloured. Altezza lights got hot. Then they were gay. A lot of the car mod culture has to do with going against the mainstream. If the manufacturers start putting Altezza style lights on the cars from the factory, tuners will want solid red lights. We're all a little anti-mainstream, or punk if you want to call it that The fashion era I like the least? The 2000's. I regret my Ed Hardy shirts, overpriced designer denim and gelled hair. I could have been on Jersey Shore, but I was a few years ahead of the curve.
