Alpha Male Manley Blogs, Vol. II: The Number One Reason Why A Wheelchair Can Never Be A Muscle Car!!!
There was a Classical Greek parable, in which a son tried to drive his father's chariot, and in the clouds. Here's the twist: By taking on his dad's "car," he simultaneously assumed his fate. That being the chariot itself being driven out of control.
Here's what a muscle car does: gets you from A to B like anything else? True, however my Permobil C500 can do that. Does it need a HEMI? No, because what I drive is a powered wheelchair, not a "Dart!" It gets me to commute, and safely.
But in one shot, I just have to establish that argument of "feeling." I want something different than what a lot of my readers may want, but guys, in a sentence: Why aren't the power chair manufacturers, like Permobil, thinking about the muscle car enthusiast?!
Here's how: concentrate on sensations. I want to feel the "V8," I want to feel the "muscle car." You look again to Permobil...their job is not to be a custom hot rod place. But couldn't the market, as a whole, take more extensive use of 2016 technology to build a power chair for the car enthusiast, who just so happens to be physically-challenged?!
For this, I think that the best technological advances include solenoid V-Type engines, DC electric motors off of MB2 and other go-karts. Anything that's electric, adjustable...and in one line, is able to produce RPM for performance or sustainability.
You couple that together with a solid body-and-bumper, crunch that whole kit down enough to fit on a power chair, see what happens. Guaranteed you'll have a proven product, because disabled car enthusiasts have been around muscle, and just as long as the Mecum crowd has.
