Hi, As far as applying a floor emergency brake pedal, I just bought an extention rod with a ball on it from my mobility dealer. Now I had a hard time pulling the plastic lever to release the brake....my dad drilled two holes in the plastic lever and attached a zip tie through the holes....this allows me to put hand in the zip tie and release the brake. If you can use a swivel transfer seat in a van, you should be able to transfer into the right car no prob. 1) you really need a two door car for the extra room to bring chair up close and pull legs in 2)you will need a folding chair, with a sling back because the chair topper cant pick up a rigid chair. 3)possible adaptation on the gear shift depending on hand function. 4) leather seats would be a plus , and a power seat( standard equipment) 5) if you get cloth seats, nylon pants can be worn The drawback to a car with a topper is in bad weather all the transferring is done in the rain. A van once your inside and you close the door you are safe and out of the weather. The car will handle a bit better and get somewhat better gas milege. I would say you would look cooler but with the obnoxious top its a toss up with a van, lol. ron c7
