One day I wanted to get the Spider aligned and I took it into no fewer than 
FIVE wheel and tire shops around LA and Glendale and they ALL refused to look 
at it since they felt (a unanimous opinion, BTW) that it would not clear 
their lifts and to try to put the car on a standard tireshop lift would cause 
damage to the undercarriage.  I did find a place with an old-fashioned pit 
that would check out the alignment that day, and the usual place I go to 
retire has 2 lifts and a pit.
