摘要

DANIEL REYES WASN'T about to accept what the occupational therapist was telling him: that after losing his right leg, he never again would drive a car with a manual transmission. Reyes lost his leg in a crash, though he wasn't driving, and he wasn't a passenger, either. He was just standing there on the sidewalk that day in 1999, when a driver lost control and hit him with such an impact that it cost Reyes his leg. But Reyes was so determined to drive sports cars again that three years later, he bought a 1967 Ferrari 330 GT at the Christie's auction on the Monterey Peninsula. "I was going to figure it out," Reyes vowed, even as his fiancee drove the car home from the auction. Two years ago, Reyes was in Italy, searching for parts for his Ferrari, when he discovered Guido Simplex Technology, an Italian company that develops equipment so those with disabilities can continue to drive cars with manual clutches and shifters. Reyes returned home to Santa Monica, California, established RediAuto Sport and became the exclusive U.S. distributor for the Total Hands Driving System.
