Dog tracking. When you are directly behind the vehicle and you can see the entire drivers side or passenger side without looking side to side. The reared is offset from the right side to left side front to back...or you have a really bent frame.lol

Lots of drool on the steering wheel.

The one time I rode in one, the first clue was the tail felt really loose even for an underpowered car. Although in that case the car was similar to one I used to own, so it was easy for me to notice something wasn't right.
