Re: [QUAD-L] Van Mods

2007-10-30 Thread Bill Jenkins
Congrats on passing.  Good luck with finding the perfect ride for you.  I 
haven't seen a minivan with a power back seat but I have seen a full-size van 
with one.  The hand controls, blinkers, headlights, horn, etc. will have to be 
tailored to your abilities.  Each person is different.

  I just passed my driver's test with flying colors!  Now it's time to start 
van shopping.  I'm
  thinking about getting a Chevy Uplander and I'll be driving from the drivers 
seat as opposed to my wheelchair.

  Where can I go on the net that can explain all the conversion options for 
handicapped vans?
  (i.e. hand controls, blinker/headlights/horn/etc. options, seating options, 
etc.)

  Have y'all ever heard of a minivan that had a rear seat that would 
electronically lay down?
  I'd like to have that in case I was out somewhere and I got tired (medicine 
head).

  Hey there all,
I am taking a break from the Quad list.  No, I'm not feeling bad -- quite the 
contrary.  My ex-wife, whom I am in very good relations with, has graced me 
with her visit and she will be here in additional two weeks.  At first I 
thought I could keep up with the correspondence, but I presently have about 80 
to 90 unread messages right now.  I'll be back in a few weeks and eager to hear 
what's going on. 
Take it easy and I hope everyone is well.

Why would you want an Ibot? There are other chairs that are more rugged 
for outdoor terrain and others (all having years of use) that do 
everything that the Ibot does except climb 'some' stairs.  If I were 
you, I would try the Ibot for a month or two before shelling out that 
kind of money.

I think the Ibots are pretty cool, and look great.
But they were just to slow for me. I drive around outside a lot and go
pretty far at times. I need the speed. Unfortunately, I needed a mid-wheel
drive (7.5 mph). I could not get the real fast rear-wheel drive chairs (11
mph).
