it seems to be fine, nothing really out of the ordinary. i mean a car isnt supposed to go straight forever without holding on to the steering wheel. i dont seem to notice a heavy shift to the left or right of the car. no grinding or anything like that. tires seem fine. so maybe ill just go with the flow and just be more careful. i guess thats what everyone can only do.

Yes, you can have it checked/aligned in the first year/12,000 miles for free. I'm not sure if that changes if the reason for needing an alignment was non-normal use.

I really wouldn't worry about it though.

Sorry if this sounds kinda brutal, but I don't sugarcoat things
Any mechanic would laugh at you...

Realistically, this car should be able to handle hitting a curb at 10mph without any issues at all other than your having a bruised ego and curb rash on the rims if you're unlucky. I wouldn't worry about it at all.

Mine has endured alot more. The only thing breaking is the crappy plastic covers underneath the car. I'm thinking I should pay for a custom made alu-plate before the next winter cause even the plastic that's supposed to hide the oil filter is nowhere to be found

I was worrying like crazy the first time I went airborne in my car but after that, it was like, eh, it's a car, it's meant to be driven.
