No mods for this year...health problems :(

This year i was planning on doing some more mods to the car, BVH and new tune, adjustable camber plates, x-brace, etc.

Life however has different ideas and I have recently had sudden hearing loss of about 20db in both ears. Docs don't know why. Anyway, looks like my mod money will be going towards modding my ears instead of modding the car. Two top end hearing aids will run $5-6k. At least I can get them in Chilli Red!

Sorry to hear (no pun) about your medical issues. Life is funny like that, you know what is lurking around the corner. It's great you are keeping good spirits though. See if you can get some black bonnet stripes for the Chili Red hearing aids.

Having had health issues in the past, I encourage anyone to get as many opinions as possible. They don't call it a "practice" because they know everything, they are all still learning. Big offices see more issues and may have info smaller practices do not.

Good luck.

Agreed! The doctor that I saw for my second opinion pretty much mirrored the first doc. They are both very good doctors in East TN.
