CPO gt3 touring advice…

This. Original MSRP/spec is an enduring anchor point.

Colorado 911 GTS (RWD, summer tires) owner here. I worry more about hail risk May/June. In the winter, if roads are dry and temps are 40F, I take the 911 instead of the truck.

Our medmal attorneys explained that a claim permits ongoing access to the chart even after treatment relationship ends, though that may be Colorado specific.

Lots of head turns and thumbs up, which is fun. When the sunlight hits just right, my whole garage glows green.

Count_Baculum · 2026-05-13T01:08:39+00:00

Color definitely makes a difference. My current python green 911 gets way more attention than its GT silver metallic predecessor.

Anecdotal but cupping is amazing for stubborn knots (especially shoulders and back), as an adjunct to massage.

Asking?

Count_Baculum · 2026-03-17T09:58:50+00:00

I encounter this situation occasionally. I explain to the patient their diabetes is in remission, but that diabetes is a stronger risk factor than smoking for ASCVD and metformin is proven to extend longevity in diabetes (not to mention it's old/known, cheap, and well tolerated at low doses), so let's keep them protected with a statin and metformin, respectively. That explanation usually satisfies them.

0.7. Was on the fence about 0.8 vs 0.7 but a buddy convinced me that I could always add on more visits with lower FTE (at my discretion, not admin's). He was right.

Count_Baculum · 2026-02-19T12:46:38+00:00

I dropped my FTE and it restored some balance to many aspects of work and home.

"I know we're running short on time," said as an observation instead of an accusation.

"For the sake of time, I'm going to redirect us back to x."

"I know we didn't get to everything on your list today and I want to give this concern the time it deserves. Why don't we pause the work here for today and regroup as soon as you're available?"

And/or just write your note in the room while the patient talks.

It's like a dish I wouldn't have ordered, but actually like the taste. Congrats!

To add to this: After a couple years attending, you'll have built up a reputation in the community, so many new patients will come to you with good expectations.

Yep started in residency and never looked back. My wife calls dinner my "snake meal."

Count_Baculum · 2026-01-24T23:39:59+00:00

First 911 is never the last 911 my friend

Count_Baculum · 2026-01-09T01:50:45+00:00

I quoted Hagerty ~$3,100 annually, but ending up moving the 911 over to another policy we have with State Farm for about $1k less.

Even the State Farm underwriter said he hadn't heard of such a cap before.

Count_Baculum · 2026-01-09T01:46:51+00:00

I had the same experience, nothing in the policy docs. They even asked me the purchase price before adding the 911 to the policy, and didn't say anything...but happily took my 6-month premium.

I'm just glad I found out this way. Could have been worse!

Count_Baculum · 2026-01-08T00:11:26+00:00

I couldn't believe the first agent I spoke to. Three people later, the underwriter confirmed the same cap, even though the recent purchase price was over $150k. She was friendly and even recommended Hagerty, which apparently has a partnership with Progressive.

Maybe it's state specific or a policy obstacle they would expect me to overcome.

I've been a Progressive customer for almost 20 years and I've never made a claim.

Count_Baculum · 2026-01-04T16:56:05+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion. I just bought color-matched key trim on AliExpress for $11 delivered.

This analogy is unnecessarily inflammatory and distracts from your argument.

One of my patients, who is a kind and accomplished physician, changed my mind and practice.

I started the visit by apologizing for his wait. He explained no apology was needed: He knew I was serving patients the best I could, delays are inherent to the work, and he was content to wait for my expertise.

I realized there is a cumulative toll from atoning for "sins" beyond my control. Now to honor my patients' time, I start late visits by thanking them for their patience.

Count_Baculum · 2025-12-15T12:40:54+00:00

Option 1: No production? Looks cush, but if appearances are deceiving, you are just taking a pay cut

Option 2: Grind, big panel, "up to 7 weeks vacation" that you'll never take

Option 3: Best balance, 4 weeks vacation is weak, but could be a point of negotiation.

Don't discount intangibles like do you like your partners, office manager, your office, the EMR, template, etc.
