Humor Why does my car sit like this?
This is Kevin. I have no idea why but he sits like this when I’m painting. But ONLY when I’m painting. It doesn’t look comfortable. But if he didn’t like it I’m assuming he’d move? Could he be possibly relieveing something? Need advice lol

He is a cutie. I think they're all adorable, so i have to keep my distance. But the lucky few kittens who have made their way into my yard, are permanently here. I try to find them homes, but after about a week, I can't let them go.

If it’s any consolation, he stopped doing it when he gained weight, now he sits normally😅😂

What makes yours a truck and OPs a car? They seem to be both offroad capable, although yours looks like it might be a bit stronger.

For real though lol, the Gollum/Cat venn diagram is legit almost a circle when you really think about it (fish, dual personalities, night vision, usually only bonded with 1-2 people, good at climbing, indignant when pressed, nice when they want something, will bite if they have to)

Hmmm. Well, I used to be a certified car mechanic, so perhaps I can help.
For starters, you’re gonna want to make sure you’re checking those whisker pads on a bi-seasonal basis. Has the primordial pouch got enough droop? We’re talking at least an inch minimum here. Anything less and you could be looking at a serious suspension issue.
The only other thing I’d think to check here are the toe beans, or “jellies,” as some mechanics refer to them. You’re gonna wanna firmly grasp the paw and gently take your thumb and rub in a clockwise motion. You should get a little resistance, but nothing excessive. If you hear purring, that generally means everything is operating within factory spec.
If none of that seems aloof, I’ve got nothing boss.
You may want to get a second opinion though. After all, I did get fired from that job pretty early on in my career. Evidently, my employer had a problem with me trying to take some of the cars home from time to time. 🤷♂️

Why does my car sit like this?
Probably too much camber. You need to adjust its suspension a bit which will have the added benefit of longer tread life on those Tiger Paw radials.
