Wow today was my first time driving alone in two years. I just got my hand controls in my car two days ago an they are great. they are Menox hand controls an driving again is great. For people with high injurys i would say get these. they cost more then the ones you use with your left hand but they are worth every bit.

Yeah, I remember my first time after my injury...... I had to drive my handicapped van sitting in my wheelchair.... Back on the 25 mile journey to work.... The first trip was scary, wondering if I would have a break down along the way... No cell phones back then....
Nothing like the wind hittin' ya in the face as your all by yourself......
Damn wish I could ride my old Harley.....
