I don't think the dimple was there when I started, but I don't know for sure. I'm waiting for more dry snow.

I don't know why it's not more symmetrical. I also suspected a crosswind, but I had gone both North and South and didn't notice any wind while driving. It was calm when I took the photos a few minutes later. There were 2 or 3 oncoming cars while I was driving on this 2-lane road. The front of the car is twisted thanks to my sister, maybe that's enough to affect the air around the whole car? Compare the headlights to the top of the firewall!

Ouch !
I wouldn't like to cross country in a car with this kind of mishaping.

Does it drive straight ?

The twisted front end explains the differences in the rear.

It does drive straight, but only after replacing a front control arm and an alignment.
