It’s Here!!!!!!!!
AT LONG LAST! IT’S HERE!!!!
This van is AMAZING!! We drove down to Orange County yesterday (terrible traffic both ways…yikes!) and now it’s finally here!
Here’s how it works: When you push the button, the door slides open, the ramp slides out and the WHOLE VAN kneels down to one side! Crazy! We were a little worried at first though, because when the van kneels the ramp comes out and the sensor sees the curb. The van thinks there’s an obstacle in the way, so ZIP! It sucks it back in (that keeps it from banging into something and get tweaked.) Well, we park at the curb every day so we thought, “Oh, no! Now we can’t use the ramp at home!” But we called Jose the nice lift guy and he told us about a secret button on the dashboard that turns the kneeling off! My mom tried it and it works perfectly! It is AWESOME!
Are you lucky or what? This sounds like something from Star Trek. Maybe you can post a YouTube video on how it works in real life? Give Ilia a hug and kiss from us.

This is outstanding! And nice to see Ilia made himself right at home in typical Lab fashion…haha.
I just posted this on Lance Weir’s wall over on Facebook, and he asked me if the conversion part was done at Aero Mobility, since that’s where his latest one was done. I’ve been following the story, but couldn’t tell if that’s where the Honda dealer took it.
Take care,
Al
Hi, Al!
Please send big love to Lance for us!
The van was a double job, done by Ability Center in Orange County (www.abilitycenter.com) and Vantage Mobility (www.vantagemobility) in Arizona. I’m not sure why it was done this way, I only know we LOVE it!!!
