Great attitude -- that goes a long way!  My brother, Curt, has no movement 
below the biceps --- and he's driving in Orlando traffic (even rush hour).  If 
you'd like, I can pass on his phone and you can discuss the van with him and 
his experiences.  The van has made a big difference -- before, he just got 
used to always having someone with him.  Now he has a new freedom to go out 
and shop, get a hair cut, or just check out the area.  And if he wants to, he 
can check out schools or other opportunities.  Being in the US without a car --
 just doesn't work.  Glad that you responded -- let me know if you want Curt's 
number.
