    So I did the A/C drain mod on my 2017 a few hours ago. Not sure if I did it right when I zip-tied (reusable rubber ones) the hose and ran it down to drain. I ran the A/C for a bit and it drains just fine.

    Is it okay how I ran the hose and zip-tied it or are these bad spots?

    Nice geography on the way.

    Nursed the gas pedal and still only managed 15 mpg.
    Good thing the gas prices are cheaper than in the PRC.

    I think I just mounted mine to the lower spot like you did. Probably wouldn't matter but I'd skip the mounting to what looks like the brake line bracket just in case and instead take a few zip ties together and go around the frame. Odds are that fuel hose won't pull hard enough on brake line but i never test things like that out in real life. I leave that to the real 3rd gen pages.

    2x on dr visit, the sooner you can document the better. Back injuries , even slight , can become life long issues. Best to have paperwork backing it up asap before it kicks in, the body can go into localized shock, then pain begins weeks later.
