Re: Let's talk cars for a bit...

I drive two different vehicles, a 1981 Brownish Chevrolet El Camino and

a 1994 Blue Ford Ranger.

The El camino just needed a false floorboard and my dad to make extended

pedals. The ranger only has extended pedals. It's also lifted (I'm a

taller lp @ 4'6 " so this isn't a problem)

I have a " Night Fire Red " Mini and I LOVE it.

I'm 4'4 " and use the same pedals my mom had made when she was in highschool,

they clamp on to the existing pedals. BUT the steering wheel tilts and

telescopes, the seat moves back and forth and up and down. A few friends

chuckle and say under their breath.. " You know... it's kind of funny that

you are driving a mini. " But I don't care. It's a great car. Reliable. Get's

amazing gas mileage.. and it's a ton of fun.

Cars are funny. Sometimes it makes no sense what we drive (to others) and

sometimes they fit our personalities perfectly.

I drive a Mini convertible, and I also have a 1973 VW Super Beetle. I am

6' tall. My LP best friend drives a full size Dodge Ram pickup truck.

The Ram fits his personality PERFECTLY!

i drive a hundai (spelling unsure), elantra, which is small enough and

economical with homemade extensions too. however, i used to know an lp lady who

drove one of the bigger SUVs and to me it just seemed tooooo cumbersome for all

she had to do just to get into the thing. she had a bench, like one foot high

and flat with a hole in it, and in that hole she had a rope threaded thru it, so

that after she got into the SUV she would then loop the rope onto her grabber or

cane, i forget what now, and then lift the bench off the ground to swing it

behind the driver's seat, and then close the door IF she got it RIGHT on the

FIRST try, MANY times she did not. NO thanks, that's much too much to do for me

to get from Point A to Point B. ~grady
