LOL! You could debate it all day... there are some cars with manufacturer specs that call for Toe-out. Not our cars, but they are out there and it's not all that uncommon.

You guys arguing about toe is hilarious. Toe in and out... It's the same adjustment, different ways, depending on which way you're adjusting it to get into specs. Toe in is positive toe which the front of the tires are facing inwards and the car will look pigeon toed. Toe out is the opposite where the tires are facing away from each other. Depending on the scrub radius of the tires you may want the toe out, or in. Front wheel drive vehicles are the only ones that should run negative toe "Toe out" as due to the scrub radius of the tires they actually pull the tires inward upon acceleration. You would then set your toe out so as the car pulls the tires inward it shall be closer to 0 toe. Hondas run closest to 0 toe as their scrub radius is designed to put the vehicle directly over the center of the tires. Rear wheel drive vehicles typically run positive toe "Toe in" as the vehicle pulls the tires outward upon acceleration.
