Somebody from the book of faces had the PSC on their Optic and looked scale in size. I had to grab a sheet.
The ProMoto parts are so cool. Makes me kinda want one again. I just don't think I'd ever run it.

Please let me/us know how those Yeah Racing shocks work. They look good and I've been tempted to buy some for buggies, but worried about leaking.
Thanks for trying!Jato- I know this does nothing to calm your nerves but my wife just got back from Indiana. I had to take her to the airport and pick her up. BOTH times that I had to go to the airport ( about 30 mins away) I was very nearly involved in two separate accidents. And I'm a decent proactive/ defensive driver.
Not sure how traffic is where you're at but flying is a LOT safer than being on the road. Plus you really have no worries. You get there, board, stow your bags and let the crew take it from there. On the average, over 102,000 flights fly daily in the US. How many of those do you hear about on the news not reaching their destination safely? It's so rare when you look at how many commercial flights take-off and land every day in the states very day in good weather and bad. For me it's WAY more stressful getting there, boarding, etc. Once you're settled in, enjoy it, relax, nap, play games, eat snacks... You got this in spades.
That's kind of how I am with my health. I don't sit around worrying about it because I know it's out of my control. I just can't get into that headspace with my fears! LOL I think I used to be mentally stronger and/or my phobias have gotten worse as I have gotten older. I've always been freak about tight spaces, but when I was a kid I could mentally power through my claustrophobia and get MRI's done. These days I can't and now I sometimes even have problems with open CT scan donuts!I think that to manage my anxiety, my brain eventually "learned" that once something was out of my control, that I just had to go with it and hope for the best. I've tried to instill that in my wife as well as she deals with a lot of high-level stress at work. And I know "anxiety" is a weakling word but I don't care.. sometimes my anxiety messed with me pretty hard... friends/ family in bad health, possibility of losing a job, purchasing a home, etc. But I just got to the point that I conditioned myself to simply accept that sometimes I had to just go with the flow however things would go. Fwiw my anxiety would manifest into nausea, elevated heart-rate, and dizziness. It still occasionally creeps up on me if something is really stressing me hard but I've been a lot better dealing with it in recent years.
Speaking of fear of heights... I'm okay depending what I'm standing on. I don't mind heights in nature or in buildings but get me up on an extension ladder past a certain point and I'll start shaking. I feel like if I can manage the fall without braking a bone or sustaining internal injuries then I'm good. But if it's too high and if I'm on something that's shaking, swaying, or not secure... I'm gonna have issues.I have a bit of fear of heights but on a plane, it is pretty much like riding a train.... I had a worse time fixing my roof, first climbs on the scaffolding were a bit tense but I had to get up and down so many times that the fear went away. Maybe it is the answer:Face your fears
About claustrophobia, tight spaces are ok but those holes in caves @high plains drifter mentioned are out of the question. Being underground is ok, being stuck in the dark or underwater...no way
Those cave dwellers, AKA spelunkers which I think is such a cool word, are insane.Oh man.. claustrophobia. That's one that I cannot overcome. I see these kooks that jump down into crevices with flowing water where they barely fit, or underwater cave exploration through narrow dark passages... Judas... no no no.
Best of luck with your trip, jato and if your plane crashes then you can come back here and give me hell.
My girlfriend has family in or around Galveston. I had never even heard of it until meeting her.Speaking of fear of heights... I'm okay depending what I'm standing on.

Used to work in Galveston TX doing construction on condominiums... sometimes three or four stories. When I was low man on the totem pole, they would hook me up to a harness ( frayed, rusted rivets... pawn shop safety rating) and then lower me down the roof pitch to take measurements of shingles, flashing, trim to be replaced... often along the edge so I'd be looking straight down. Then they'd tie me off and cut to fit whatever piece... and slide it down to me to nail, screw or caulk in place. It was nerve wracking... especially peering over my shoulder to see the two guys holding onto my lifeline as they'd be checking out the bikini babes walking up and down the seawall. Many times I'd feel the slack and then start sliding towards the edge... not fun.
I agree that facing the fear head on multiple times can do the trick. Yeah I don't mind underground but not if my movement is restricted.. that I just can't deal with.
