Re: [QUAD-L] the bionic man

That is great news Dave.  Good luck with the van.  I'm sure everything will work out just fine.  I hope that you put a blanket and gloves in there for warmth just in case.  As far as the battery goes, I'm sure you have thought of carrying a set of jumper cables with you.  I was told to carry cables that are lass than 8 gauges.    Happy driving, Stacy ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: quad-list@eskimo.com Sent: Thursday, December 30, 2004 8:37 PM Subject: [QUAD-L] the bionic man I drove my van for the 1st time today.  I had a transfer seat, hand controls, and door opener installed.  The xfr seat is a bit awkward to use but the other stuff is way cool.  It goes up/down, back/fwd, and turns up to 90 degrees.  Sliding over and back is a pain but my driving will be the exception anyway.  I don't mind being chauffeured.  There are 4 magnetic switches in my tail light housing to operate the door and lift.   Up, Down, Stow, and Close.   A battery is now much more critical to my survival - oh joy.  More mechanical crap that can kill me.  Stranded in a dark van in June, July, or August in Phoenix is no place to be.  I'll be keepiong my cell phone very handy from now on.
