Buyers Remorse…Just a Little

Friday—the new Jazzy =Quantum 1121 arrived. This is the first brand-new power chair I have ever purchased. I hate buying stuff because I always have buyer’s remorse. You know the feeling you have knowing that you could have done better then finding out that there was something better just waiting round the corner. My decision and my insurance plopped down nearly $8,000.00 for this winner. It is sturdy and should hold up under the abuse I can reign down on the poor device. The appearance is OK a little more “institutional” looking then I would have liked but still looks “rugged”—lot of steel and rings at appropriate spots to use as tie-down and mounts for all kind of things. The real only real issue I have is the speed of the chair. Quantum is not nearly as swift as the old Jazzy. Mark and I raced them last night. The old Jazzy is definitely swifter. I may try to figure out a way to squeeze more speed from the little guy but I am OK with the speed Quantum will render. I can live with it for now. This speed will get me round to the Trax stop and round downtown any faster and I may hurt my self. I am going to see what is on the net. Wheelchair Junkie always has some radical ideas

Old Jazz

Old JazzThere is the old jazzy sitting right next to the garbage . I wish I could justify keeping the old horse but the chair is so old I cannot even get electrical parts for it any longer.. The chair still runs though, in fact it runs faster then my new chair; bums me out sort of. Mark A was here last night and we ran them against each other “I wish I had run the video on that”. The old jazzy performed with wonder. Alas, it just a toy, now at best. I just wish I had the old jazzy’s speed.
