  • This was one of those shoots that left us all smiling. The owner of this vehicle is a quadriplegic car collector, enthusiast and one of the coolest people you could ever know. His story is incredible and his passion for cars is just like the rest of us.
    Sit back and enjoy his story, his car and his thrill ride in Vicious...

    I love seeing that. I have Cerebral Palsy and have had limitations with my life but I'm extremely fortunate to able to drive my Mustang. I'm so glad he can drive his Impala soon! That optimism is infectious and inspiring.

    This video was fantastic. That Impala is a cool car with an even cooler owner. Drivers licensing centers are pretty boring, but one of them gets to be way cool on the day that Trevor shows up. Please keep us posted.

    The 59 Chevy Impala, bubble top has always been my favorite car of choice. Wonderful smooth ride, powerful engine, beautiful design, luxury, and comfort throughout. This car is made of metal unlike many cars of today mostly of plastic and fibre composite materials. 59 Chevy Impala---a beautiful car ! ! !

    Boy, I remember when these came out.....they were so different that it took awhile to get used to the design. Nice little rig and the fella really should be proud of his ride. Never saw one of these with a continental kit. My '57 Ford had the filler behind the license plate....very handy.

    *Paraplegic. If he was a quadriplegic he wouldn’t have use of all four (quad) of his limbs.

    • @johnbrady1211
      @johnbrady1211 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Dude know what you're talking about before you type. He's a Quad. I'm a high Para T-7. Also from a hit and run motorcycle accident that I woke from and was not expected to survive. I have friends who are Quads who drive and are able to do many things.
      Now listen and learn. Quads can move their arms. It depends how high the injury was on the neck. Quads are measured by the bones C-7 to C-1 in the neck. C-7 being the lowest and having the most function left on their arms and wrists. I knew a guy who drove a tricked out '69 Camaro. He was a Quad and he drove the adapted car and put his wheelchair in and out by himself. It's a hard life. They have limited use of their hands.
      Technically you are right. Quad injuries (meaning four) affect all four limbs. But that doesn't mean they aren't able to move their arms. High Quads are a different matter. They lose more arm function. My guess is, he is about C-7 or C-6.
      So this guy and any Quad that doesn't give up deserve a lot of credit.
