An unwritten rule of inspect the car after the trailer ride: it becomes important at exactly the moment nobody wants to stop and deal with it. Consistent preparation and written baselines make track decisions safer, faster to diagnose, and easier to repeat.
The move that saves the day is to begin with a measured baseline.
Definitely worth doing! A quick inspection after the trailer ride can catch small issues before they turn into bigger problems. Having a baseline also makes it much easier to notice what changed.
