May need to trim the bracket for the content sensor but looks like it would still work with the strut bar.

Cool. Still not sure if I want to go FF again, but it's definitely tempting especially because I have a station a few miles away now that has it.

Once that tune faucet is opened, might as well go all the way.

The shop that installed my FF and did the tune originally left the strut tower bar off and said it would not fit at all.

The medical industry in this country is so dysfunctional.

Last week the doctor office said to schedule the follow up after 3-4 days because that's how long it takes radiology to send their imaging.

So I had my radiology done this past Monday bright and early, had the follow up scheduled for today, Friday, and I get here and they haven't gotten the results yet, and they say it usually takes a full week.

Thanks for wasting my time. ��

They are bad and should feel bad. Doesn't look like it would be difficult to adapt. At worse some spacers, longer bolts, and mount it higher.

Nah. This was an urgent care (because at the time I hadn't found a new PCP) and then one of the big radiology lab chains in the bay.

Then again they did just remove the strut tower bar without telling me and I only found out because when I got in the car to leave I noticed they had haphazardly thrown it inside the car. And of course when I brought it up they said they had "forgotten" to tell me, and then gave me that excuse.

I remember reading about that whole ordeal. Figured a shop like that would you know, make a comment on it, ask you what you want to do, something?

I mean when most of a shops customers probably take everything the shop owner says at face value because they give them cheap deals on labor, it's probably easy to not give a shit that someone may actually care.

Anywho.

I had a PET/CT scan Wednesday morning and my Oncologist had the images Thursday at noon. That's the good news. The bad news is they found yet another thing I'll have to get a biopsy done on. There's nothing really static about metastatic cancer.
