My article, called ON THE ROAD AGAIN, is in the sping 2001 issue of ACCENT ON LIVING. It is all about getting the state to pay for the new lift, low effort steering, electric lock downs, electric shift, and remote controls in my 10-yr-old van. I talk about dealing with the state, van mod company and getting back on the road again after years of not driving as a result of PPS. Check it out and then please check out the new stuff on my web site.
