Remember the old slogan, "It's not just a car, it's your freedom?" If you've got a physical challenge of some kind, finding a car you can drive can be an ordeal.

Fortunately, there are all sorts of ingenious adaptations that can be made to assist people in overcoming these challenges. And, there are lots of organizations and web sites out there who are willing to help.

So, we decided to sort through all the resources we could find, and present it all in a logical, coherent fashion. (Not qualities we possess. We had our lackeys do it.)

Here are the results. We hope you find this information useful!
