My nephew recently added onto his garage replete with an 8-foot tall garage door, so he will probably wind up being the custodian for this old gentleman once we can figure a way to get around his '28 rpu and '31 slant window fordor.

My neighbor jacked up his 2 car garage and added a row of cement blocks all the way around to add the needed height for a handicap van.

Much too much money, but my wife REALLY wanted it. She also said she will drive it one day.
