[QUOTE="bowtieman, post: 8644, member: 323"] Since I roll in the wheelchair and was born disabled, I wanted to share my hand control installed on my Nox with this forum since you all are pretty cool! I drive with my hands not my feet lol. These suckers are expensive, and marked up way to much... over $750 for the parts alone not including labor. Which considering what they actaully are (two bars with joints haha) marked up a little to much, which all handicap and medical crap is! But can't complain because GM mobility program gives you a reimbursement up to $1,000 so that's good considering it cost me $1,300 total. I am grateful to Gm for that, Toyota nor Honda offer it. Only thing you have to cough up the money first then wait a few months for the reimbursement. My last trucks I had installed them myself, no fun to do, but with a new vehicle, you cannot even buy the parts anymore yourself, only a authorize reseller and installer can get em. Overall install was pretty clean looks somewhat factory, i let this same place put em on my wife's Malibu. Only complaint is that they just cant make it a straight $1,000 out the door. I might start my own business installing these since i know they making a killing lol So they work as down for Gas & forward for Brake. An able body can drive this no prob, the gas pedal moves freely and does not move the handcontrols , when you hit the brake it just pulls the bar forward. My wife is tries to drive it sometimes with the hand controls, haha a little tricky if your not used to it. Here is a youtube link i made for a demo since a few other wheelchair people were asking how they worked. Kick your feet out the window and enjoy the drive and wired looks lol [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JjG0DSs3Fc&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/url] [/QUOTE]
