C5 C6 Quadriplegic - Driving through a Drive-thru by myself 

No one really understands the little victories more than we do. FIST 👊 BUMP

I use to get stares like that a lot when I was driving! I had a 1998 Dodge Caravan loaded with drive by wire hand controls. I was told the undercarriage WAS undercoated really well and would last forever but it wasn’t and the salty roads, nearly ten years later the floor fell out! Much respect!

That stare was my favourite part of video lol people are so shocked when we (disabled people) do stuff 😂

I love this bro! It is awesome that you still can drive!

you're very skilled. awesome video 😊😊

ddo it man.

We're you having back pain or soreness and do you get sore from the back of your wheel chair rubbing at your back

I’m a C6-7 Quad. How is it that you’re able to balance so well while driving?? Especially when braking? I flop forward when braking, so I have to have a chest belt. It’s time for me to get a new vehicle soon. Right now I have a ‘98 Ford E-150 and through taking extra care of it, it’s lasted this long but the New England winters and other weather, wear and tear, etc are quickly catching up with it. I’m also interested in what vehicle you have and if you’d recommend it. Does it bottom out a lot? How much ground clearance does it have? In my van, I have zero-effort braking and zero-effort steering. Do you? I’m not trying to be nosy. I hope you don’t think I am! But another quad, with relatively similar function, from what I can see, would be incredibly helpful and useful!! Especially since I have to pay for the entire conversion! When I got my van, I was five years post injury and was able to work full time, so a division of Social Services paid for my conversion. But, a few years after I got my van, I got Lyme Disease and it went undiagnosed for far too long and I never fully recovered from it as a result of having it so long. It really killed my ability to work as it really compromised my already weakened immune system, so I get sick often and seriously. But back to talking about vehicle conversions, just the zero-effort steering and braking will cost at least $20,000! The entire conversion is estimated to cost 4 or5 times that! And that’s not even considering the cost of the vehicle itself! I’m so loping to avoid having to get a minivan! I’d love to get a SUV or an Explorer, if I can cut some costs on the conversion. Could we talk? Thank you!

awesome. will you do a video on getting your wallet out, getting money etc? where do you put your wallet and phone? thanks

***** OK.

This is going to be an dumb question how exactly does the accelerator/brake pedal conversion work? I can see a left hand control but is it done thru mechanical or electrical means?

You’re so handsome 😍

Hey did they modified the wheel?

Can anyone please help me with the name of the steering control and where to find it? I TIA

On any given day, how much do you need to smoke?

I use a credit card that way I don’t have to deal with the change.

First.. im.pleased to see ya driving. I am a c4 incomplete driving. You do understand ... you violate laws taping people without their consent ??? Why need to say aha... The stare comment. ? You illegally taped their body and faces . We paralyzed shouldn't seek to be seen to make good examples. Certainly any of us can do this . I wouldn't appreciate someone taping me at my job ... if you stayed off their image ..ya focus on the ability. You showed unsafe driving ...it takes just a second to harm you send others.. The leaving crap on your lap is not something safe to do. If someone shorter has to be closer to the wheel...you just showed them how to get hurt. Not to mention fat in the way.. a vent etc. I don't dare try to pull off with obstruction. I am 5 ft ..small ..but .. my license could be yanked if Cited ...accidents like hitting that business ..happen. I urge you to consider safer video's that don't show entitlements .. we don't get to break laws on video capturing. Therapy places in california ..nevada ...etc...have laws on taping others as well. Same laws in case you need to inquire. I think you should know ..spine fb sites posted you as a c6. No other references. C4 ..I don't use your features ... I chose not to have a turn out seat .. so i am forced to do a transfer without risk of the seat . Sit to stand ..pivot ..use head rests ..arm rests ... Use memory seat features ... driver 1 pulls you to the wheel... 2 takes you back to the wheelchair hopefully locked on the floor & between the front seats. I scoop my legs over as well. I use a left foot accelerator, tri pin .. and my gear on shift arm on the column is safer than yours .. plus I couldn't move your type. Curious who set your adaptive stuff up ? Did someone take you through the adaptive driving lessons and did you get a new license with adaptive endorcements so you are not cited or not covered by insurance for driving without endorsements ? I don't have left hand use .. I do have a voice system with a annoying blue button my elbow hits .. The rotation process is unsafe.. a waste of money. are you a complete or incomplete ? I'm suggesting you give a bit of info ...As you can tell .. we all have different needs . Your audience could benefit from details vs capture of employees . Don't take offense. We both are fortunate to drive ..and afford these expensive vans. We can encourage others with knowledge and safety. Btw.. I tried the drive up ...Burned the he'll out of my legs when I thought I could hold onto a drink just to get beyond the window. I don't do drinks or drive off before I am ready to do nothing but drive adaptively. :)
