I don't own any SUV's or full size pickup truck, but I sure hope one runs over your little geo metro.

Diesel > *

what type of diesel car?

You guys don't have Renault in the US, but if you go to renault.co.uk, browse the cars for "New Scenic", it's the 100bhp diesel.

That might get some sympathy from me, but not too much. I'm assuming you have a large vehicle because of your disability. It's for the greater good that people who buy big cars for the sake of buying big and using more feel the wrath of their decision.

I drive this.
Inside looks like this.

I'm a quadriplegic, I drive from a powerchair.

I just got it in May. This has to stay for over five years. I bought the van and the state of NJ paid $44,000 to modify it.

It takes a year to arrange and build one of these....and NJ will never ever help me build another...which doesnt matter because I couldnt drive anything else anyway.

Crab, sorry to hear that bud...you know...if you fell on real hard times and needed some "gas money" I'm sure a few of us here would be happy to throw you a few $$$.
