I bet you Stephen Hawking gets one....
Fenders.
God, flip that thing and it's break you in half...
I'm not handicapped, and I still want one.
Be careful, if it rolled over, you might be handicapped for real.
Dammit. Beat me to the Stephen Hawking joke.
Cuz Stephan Hawking jokes are sooo funny.
Oh well here's one for you then:
(While impersonating Stephen Hawking)
"I f*ck my nurse with my ever-expanding c*ck"
-Knocked Up
Videos! (Puddles, snow, ditches, ....)

Half man, half machine? I must get my hands on this contraption. /Stewie
I love the idea getting Stephen Hawking to have one of these chairs :D
I would totally drive over the less fortunate.
Technically, the one in the chair is the less fortunate one, so wouldn't you be mowing down the more fortunate?
They are less fortunate because I have a tank wheelchair.
Ah, I see what you did there.
Its the answer to the question: "If I shoot myself in the foot, do you think I will get discharged and sent home?"
It's (of course)
And here I am using my legs like a sucker...
i want one.
I'm buying one of these, even if I'm not disabled AND THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DO ABOUT IT.
Does it play Wagner's "Ride of the Valkyries" when it moves?
Now can we attach missiles or at least a 50-cal machine gun?
"improvements"!? They still hadn't added my damned chaingun!

So now handicapped people will be sent to war?

feels weird looking at that dirt flying around from the chain with that pristine looking leather chair zipping up above
I once saw a fat lady riding a hover round in the snow. lol.
But will it blend? That is the question...
Oh and how fast does it go???
If the seats are made of memory foam I'll certainly order one.

I'd like to play Doom on one of these.
I think this is great, I really think its sad that they haven't been able to produce real limbs that can read real nerve signals (which they have already developed, but haven't produced yet).
At least those wheelchair bound can now go off-road, where before they would need to be taken by someone else.
I use a power chair and my god I would love a tank chair. WOW Sweet
