I took driving lessons and got my licsense back in '77, but never had the money to pay the insurance let alone the price tag. I worked as a CPA and did volunteer work as a mentor for 24 years. I was always struggling to get by because I earned too much to get medicare and medicaid. I think it's great that so many of you drive but just wondering, did y'all get big settlements or were my social workers retarded?   john In a message dated 6/14/2006 12:32:18 PM Central Daylight Time, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: What is the cost of modification to a van and have new does your van have to be? just wondering? You mentioned a van vs anything else, so I will attempt to address, just vans.  A new van with lowered floor and basic electrics will start at about $43,000.  If you need secondary controls (quad controls) such as joystick and hands free accessories, another 8-12 grand for the upgrades.  This is where an evaluation is very handy to detemine percisely what you require, for the next 5-7 years.
