    Want $500?  Of course you do!  Show us pictures of your pimped out wheelchair or prosthetic and you just might walk away with half a grand.  That’s right, if you’ve got crazy cool art on your chair or carbon limb show it to the world and get a chance to win some holiday cash.


    Instructions:

    • Pimp your wheelchair or prosthetic.
    • Take lots of pictures of it and post them on your Disaboom.com blog.  All pictures should be in one blog post.  Your blog post will be your entry.  Your post title should read: Pimp My Wheelchair: (enter whatever you want here).
    • All the entries in the contest will be linked from the Pimp My Wheelchair forum (i.e., right here).
    • Vote for your favorite pimped out gear by commenting on a post.
    • The post with the most comments wins!  (Only one comment per user per entry is counted, if you sign up for multiple accounts to boost your comment count we'll know and you’ll be disqualified… play fair people!)

    Submit your entry by December 10th, voting ends on December 16th and the winner will be announced December 19th!

    This is awesome-I can't wait to see some of the entries. I'm totally drawing a blank on this one and kindof have a thing against messing with/adding to my chair....since it's only a couple months old-I'm afraid I'm leaving her in mint condition but I'll definitely vote for other cool pimped rides.

    This is a great idea and us boys do love our toys.  I'm looking forward to seeing the entries but my chair is just a plain old Quickie 2.  I've had black and silver chairs forever because I like the Raiders and chairs didn't come in orange and brown, which of course is colors of my beloved Cleveland Browns.

    Also black doesn't show the dirt as muchBig Smile

    Nothing unusual here, just a guy in a wheelchair making it in an upright world.

    We just updated it so when a call comes in via iPhone, the music fades the call comes in with the call coming through the speakers you just talk normal.

    When the call ends the music resumes.

    Hope you enjoy!!
