FWIW, based on no experience whatsoever, I suppose if you thought it was

side-for-side. If it still leaned the same way after that, you'd have to 
start looking for damage...

Runs great, 
looks particularly bad since some SUV clown backed into it.
If you're near Mountain View, CA,
it's the red one with the silver bootlid.
