Greetings Everyone!
Its seems over the New Year, the system un-subscribed me (without my
knowledge) and I haven't received a lot of mailings. I just re-subscribed, but
wonder
how many others were dropped or the system just un-subscribed them, and they
aren't aware of it and are not receiving
I was just thinking of you, w, because I've been posting (answering people's Qs) more oftenm the last 56 days or so. And I was thinking "gee W hasn't popped in anywhere...maybe he's on the road or sumthin'"
As far as I know ... no one else has had problems (sometimes they'll write to me

LOL, Never did I expected for the system to just drop me from the list. But
when I wasn't receiving anything after a week, I visited the Mako Website and
the archives to discover that I was missing alot.

realize that

I was curious about the how high the Interior was because I sit so tall in my chair. It is much more difficult for me to lean back to get into a vehicle. It makes my chair that much longer and adds to the problem I already have with loading. I currently have a full-size van in which I can see

Choosing a van for transportation is a very serious and personal journey.
Mistakes are often make when FAD overtakes FASHION. Knowing exactly what your
needs are, is most important when deciding on purchasing any van for
transport... or driving.
But I want a minivan is something I hear all
Mini vans have come along way since they were introduced in 1986-1987 with
lowered floors. Today, they seem so perfect for both rear entry and side entry
use. But they still don't seem made for all terrain and weather conditions...

Elk Conversions, makes a lowered floor mini, with a mild raised roof and
doorline for the conversion industry and Im sure that you've seen them on the
road with that unmistakable clamshell top. It adds an additional 4-6 inches of
head space over the standard lower floor minivan. For the

I'm with you. I do look like crap sometimes and I don't care, but
also it's when I am home. I'm not worried about what I look like when I am
here. I take care of myself like I did before I was sick. If I want
to veg and pull up my hair without even brushing it yet, then that is what I am

Title: Delivery of vans
How much time should be expected between the time of committing to the purchase and getting the van? What is a standard deposit or if not done with deposit how do you have a company start the delivery process? (I've never bought a car, minivan or anything like that

You've got alot of homework to do before you hit the open road. Practice,
Practice and more Practice until you feel comfortable on those two lane road
with sharp curves.
You may have to practice in those mall parking lots until you feel that
comfortable and then hit the highways for the speed
Get into your chair and have anyone measure you from the floor, to your eye
level and start with that. Make sure that anyone trying to see you a van
doesn't think that your eye level is max head height measurement.

Yes, like a new wheelchair ... choose a dealer who is willing to come to your home or go where you can "try out" several kinds. It' a huge purchase (2nd behind a home purchase) so keep trying.
Just to try out a cushion recently ... 2 vendors wouldn't give me much more than the time of day.

Good to see you back on the list. I thought I was crackin' up, then I was
reading others were noticing your absence. As always you offer good advice
Thanks

I usu need 2 or 3 days to see how my body will react to a new
cushion. Last time I started generating such powerful leg spasms that they
nearly jerked me over frontwards. The fix was to let out a little
air and raise my footrests. (I've been doing this 38 yeas and it's still a
