Default Leading Edge Technologies is picking up my car today

Erick Gunter of LET is picking up my car today and I can't wait. I'm lucky to live in Houston. I need parts and he needs install pics and time. I'm having 3 level spinal reconstruction surgery Tuesday so this gives him opportunity to get parts on my car and to take some time. In advance I can't thank Erick enough for knowing my circumstance and helping me. I'm getting a new intercooler, air filters, thermostat and hopefully a few other goodies depending on what Erick has on the shelf. I'm hoping to have a fan installed on the IC with a switch as well. Having my SC go on and off ticks me off as it's always at the wrong time.

We can post some pics when everything is done. It's not much but it's a start.

I'm 37 and a Marine. I left service with a shoulder and spinal reconstruction at 22 years old. Since then, I have had a hip replacement and another reconstruction of the spine, this is my 3rd and by far the most severe operation. I had 5 surgeon's tell me they could not do it and all but 1 recommended Dr. Esses who literally wrote the book.

I have never been so scared with so much time to think about it. It's taking my every waking thought since every movement is meet with some pain.

My car makes me feel better but only when the SC is working.

I'm curious to see how LET incorporates that fan with the larger HE. Its definitely something I was interested in since Steve hellems did his using the stock HE. And do you happen to know what thermostat he will be using?

Good luck with your surgery man.

I wish you the best with your surgical procedure.

Just 5 years ago at age 41 I found out I needed open heart surgery to replace a heart valve. I had about a month to think about my surgery every day and it was stressful. I actually was on life support in ICU overnight when my heart didn't start after 11 hours in surgery with some complications. A miracle occurred the next morning when the nurses station which had a monitor on my heart suddenly noticed my heart beating on it's own. The surgeons have no explanation but the reality is I am alive and heathy today.

Sometimes you have to give it to God.

Now, Erick just drove off in my car and I realized she does not even have a name. Did I mention just how much I love this car.

Erick is a real car guy and it took me about 1 minute to feel ok about handing him my keys knowing he is going to take her clothes off.
