He bought a blower and intake manifold from one of the guys on the lightning board, well he ended up going overboard and building the hell out of the motor!

I think this is cool as hell

i cant see that from here at work,
but a local friend of mine is in a wheelchair..... and used to drive a heavily modified 2000 transam and later 2002 transam..... he now drives a modified vette.

it was kinda funny at car meets... we would meet somewhere, and all cruise as a group to someplace to eat.
while we're waiting out front, he would pull into a handicap space.. and someone not with us would ALWAYS have some snide comment along the lines of "look at that asshole parking there"
then the door opens.
and a chair comes out.
unfolds
then a wheel comes out, and he clicks it on.
then the other wheel
then he gets in the chair and closes the door.
then... and this is the highlight..
the he comes up to us and starts talking hanging out... and we're right next to the person who just said the comment.

my uncle is a c5-c6 incomplete quad and used to have a mean-ass lifted and done up f-350 4X4 and we used to go off roading at arrowhead and big bear in that thing!
he just got a new van with kick ass electronic controls instead of the old mechanical ones because he just wrecked his old van. He took out a big palm tree and totalled his wheel chair!

I think it's great to see David on the bike.
Anybody can do anything with enough determination.
David Bailey Rocks

i figured someone would of had to start it for him,they would have had to hold him up to get him going or did they have something that held him up to drive away from,i see the cage around his legs,i did see the tv show on speed channel about him but they didnt show him driving around anymore,he was a kick ass racer

he rode that bike around at anaheim 2 2008...he had help to hold up the bike when he started and stopped...but it was incredible to see him riding around again, even though it was just a putt putt round the field.

Me and me dad did that to a buddy of ours once (by accident) about 2 years after he broke his back (parapalegic) we were out drinking and he wanted to go into the local night club, well its on the 2nd floor up a flight of steep ass stairs! We got him up OK carrying him and the chair, coming down was different tho

We dropped him about halfway down and he ass over titted it into the street chair and all

He was all good aside from a few bruises and being worried about the pins in his back!

That vid brought back some funny ass memories man

shit, my uncle sued deja vu because they didn't have wheelchair access!

of coarse he says he was really only going that far because the manager was a dick and all like "what are you doing here anyway, gimpy"

cost that dude his job and now they have an elevator!
