stock belts coming way up over the sides of the bucket towards his waist, instead of through the pass-thrus (which he must have thought
were for ventilation or weight reduction) that allow the belt to properly secure over his lap.
I let him know how dangerous that was. There was a kid in college back in my day who had the exact same half-
assed setup in a different car and crippled himself in a severe collision because the belt was too high.Steven got all huffy and went on the standard-3ZC "you're just an asshole because you're from TTnet" tirade, until even he couldnt deny
the common sense of it. Now here he is with an an even worse setup (thinking he has made an improvement), that instead of putting him at risk of crippling himself
from the waist down, he is at risk for the full monty....quadriplegia, a machine breathing for him, piloting himself around with a tube in his
mouth, for the rest of his life, or at least until he cant take it anymore and has to beg someone to kill him...............
but on the brightside,
he will be able to implement his unique sense of style to his motorized wheelchair with "aggressive" camber, decals galore, maybe
even a racing bucket (if it will accomodate his colostomy bag), and he wont have to worry that when people see him outside of his car that
they dont realize what a unique sense of style he has since he will be in that stylish chair forever What kind of shop would install sign off on such a terrible idea?
/sigh
 "The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of "liberalism", they will adopt every principle of our socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without ever knowing how it happened.... I no longer need to run on the Socialist Party ticket because the Democrat Party has now adopted our platform."
--Norman Thomas, 1944 Socialist Party Presidential Candidate "Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery."
--Winston Churchill
