I am getting ready to order a new chair and I'm thinking about going with Permobile and have even tried out the C500, but I didn't like the fact that it was a front wheel drive chair. I know I wouldn't have fit into a small van with a chair as I am 6 foot three when I am stood up.
I would love to be able to get into a smaller van. Quadius On 12/31/07, [EMAIL PROTECTED] <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hey, Paul. > I just bought an '07 Odyssey in August.
