Any issues getting the settings where you wanted them? I had an alignment done last year after going over a seam during a repaving project bent my rear wheels. The shop couldn't get one of the wheels completely within spec.

No, it was fine. But I have had new coffin arms, tuning forks, shocks and springs fitted.
Are you sure you haven't bent a control arm?

The shop said no - that was my first thought, also.

And it has a red door. Is that . . . is that, Fiorano?

Today I pulled the inside driver door release…and something popped, and now there’s about half an inch of play in the handle…if I pull it out, the window drops to open-the-door position; if I push it in, the window goes back up.
Adding it to the list…

Well you should know better than to go all The Incredible Hulk on the door handles!
On second thought it might be an additional side effect of the second booster...

It appears that the spring/detent/whatever that blew out on my driver door handle is the one that makes sure the microswitch isn't open (or closed - not sure if it's NO/NC/momentary) unless you're pulling on the handle. I noticed my engine cranked really slowly when I drove back home from the office this morning - the cabin lights have been on because door handle.
Looks like some exploratory surgery is in order. The Interwebs tell me there's a broken spring that needs replacing...
