i put the wheel chair in the back seat. so i need to be able to lean the driver seat back and the passenger seat forward. the door on a four door do not open wide enough and the entrance itself does not lend easily to me getting in and out. plus with a four door the A frame is in the way. many reasons that make it more complicated with my rigid frame sports chair, carbon fiber wheels, four wheel suspension, really high dollar chair.

anyway there you are my friend.
Right, I was aware that you used a wheelchair, I just wasn't sure how a sedan would pose more of an inconvenience for you.

Full-suspension? Oh, cool. Are there some pics online somewhere? I used to be heavily into cycling (much more so than the past two years) and much of the technology is the same. I escorted a wheelchair race on my off-road bike (followed right after by a not-so-kosher trip around the inside of Pittsburgh's late Three Rivers Stadium on the same bike) and saw that that many of the parts i was familiar with repairing were on the racing chairs. But full suspension is something I've never seen.
