John,

        The van has over 128,000 miles on it and has seen better days.  In 
addition, there are several drawbacks to using a van.  
        The chair I use has pedals that don't come off - it is similiar to a 
Quickie HP - but weighs about 34 lbs.  I never thought of getting in the 
passenger's side.  I'll be able to try that on some of the models but on a 
lot of models I can't because they have bucket seats.  I'll give ti a try 
though.
        Thanks.
Jay

P.S.  Did you leave the brakes on the wheel chair on or off while putting it 
      in the car?
