    The client that I'm building the All Terrain Track Chair for has one of these conversions done on his lifted GMC 2500 truck. It's pretty sweet to see in action. I took some pics and video while we tested the track chair with him:

    Ha ha a car that loads your luggage but first has to sneak a peak at what's inside Kind of creepy and cool at the same time.
    Pull up to the airport or hotel a porter rolls your luggage out and the car says thank you I'll take it from here. While the poor guy stands there in shock looking around for the candid camera

    The car isn't going to tip him............or is it?

    One never knows, it might. After all the car is probably of driving itself.

    There one problem with the door. What if someone parks to close like a lot of dumb ass drivers do !!then you can’t get in.

    That's actually a very good point. Someone could even park at the proper distance away from you in a non-handicapped parking space that is adjacent to your handicapped parking space, and it would still be too difficult to open the door.

    I use a wheelchair. And yes parking is an obscene issue.
    disabled folks are some of the worst parkers. As to the truck, I saw one. Asked the guy how it was. Not that old and he was having issues already, just to much involved. Also, most folks just can't afford something like that. I got my used van at a great price of 15,000 when most well used ones were going in the mid 20,000 . New, forget it. 75, 000 and up. This was in the early 2000s . So yea, things look great but the costs are out of reach for most.
