 JS> I need some instructions on a procedure to load my wheelchair in 
 JS> the  car behind me.  

        Transfer.  Place the pedals and front wheels into the car 
behind the drivers side seat.  Move toward the center of the 
seat.  Fold drivers seat down somewhat if possible.  Grip the 
pedals and pull the chair into the car.  If there is a hump the 
small wheels should stradle the hump.  Lock the brakes.

        Hope this helps.
