I live in a rural farm area where there are a lot of big pickup

many of them have "disabled" window-tags or plates because there are
a lot of old people around here driving them. My questions is: if
you are so cripped-up that you need a crip plate, then how can you
climb up and down into that thing? Since this NG has a lot of old
crips hanging around, I thought this
would be a good place to ask. Your not working so you have the time
to answer.

Hi,
I am not old by today's standard(just going on 74 this year. retired
in '96). I don't drive PU truck but I drive SUV. It is not easy to
stoop down to get in/out of a car but getting in/out of SUV is much
easier. This is the case at least for us. Wife's car is also smaller
SUV than mine. Obviously you are not old, are you?


Old or young he/she/it is a troll . Ignore it and it will eventually
go
away .


No, I'm really interested in the answer. I'm a young 45 but would have
minor trouble climbing in and out of one of those monsters. Whenever I see
them being driven by a 65+ year old 350+Lbs breathless wobbler, I wonder
how they get in and out.

OTOH, maybe the crip-plates they have are just a scam.
