I don't think I'm going to hassle with a 2-door and as you say getting soaked in the rain. And I'm inclined to transfer from the wheelchair to the driver's seat that would have 8-way power. I did see a video on the Vanagon addressed specifically to wheelchair folk, and they do have a $1500 allowance toward conversion. Do you have an opinion on Vanagon (formerly VW station wagon)? Thanks again, and best regards. Harry -- Uucp: ..!{decvax,oliveb}!bunker!hcap!hnews!261!1000!Harry.London Internet: Harry.London@f1000.n261.z1.fidonet.org
