Strange, I go weeks without ever seeing another SHO in these parts. On the way to the track on Friday I see 3? One was an exact copy if mine lol. Although it was stock. I forgot how high they ride in the stock springs.

It is wierd... but usually reminds me we have something a bit special!

Finally got a little work done on my pickup. Upgrades and maintenance are coming at a pace considerably slower than I'd envisioned! Running much better now. Vac. advance seems to be advancing a tad too much. And mechanical a tad too little. As always, a work in progress. :D

Anyone believe in chiropractors? I have a sharp pain in my back ever since I turned around to get my son something in his car seat, two weeks now.  Pain doesn't happen all the time, just when neck is turned a certain position. 

Wondering if one visit to the chiropractor will fix this?  I don't want to get on a weekly/monthly scheduled visit.

Yes...but only for situations like yours...random pain fixes for usually a pinched nerve that has muscles in spasms...my woman goes a few times a month and it really helps her out...

I've only been twice and it fixed me both times. They will pitch you on buying a package that you "need", false, do the stretching they suggest and you'll be fine.

Same philosophy here.  I haven't been in years and don't go unless I need to.  I went through a year of back problems with physical therapists to no avail - I also went to one traditional chiropractor and he quite possibly made it worse.  I was in a ton of pain and then found a non-traditional chiropractor that was actually in our clinic.  He treats you until you are better and doesn't keep trying to bring you back for the ongoing maintenance stuff.  He took the time to understand what was wrong...and did some xrays before he went near my back.  He literally changed my life...I went from being miserable every single day to walking out of his office almost pain free after he put my back in to place.  I felt it move and I felt instant relief and I am not a believer in general so to speak.  I certainly do believe they are necessary now...you just need to find a good one which can be a challenge.
