This video shows how I change the wheels and tires on my 2006 Infiniti G35 Coupe. I am completely paralyzed from the armpits down. (T1 complete)

  • dude im a c6 complete quad you amaze me... you also have use of your hands lol

  • @CNTWLK Thanks for the compliment! Believe me, I give quads all the respect in the world. Life is hard enough as a para...multiply that by 10 with limited hand (and arm) control.

  • this is a random and completely unrelated question, but if you were ever to have an operation on your legs or something, would you have to go under anesthetic? im just curious and i cant find the answer on google :L great videos by the way...

  • @minimisstrouble Yes, I would still have to go under. Even though I can't directly feel my skin, my body would still respond to extreme pain. It's called autonomic disreflexia...basically meaning your blood pressure shoots up, you feel extremely sick and you can even black out. I've had this happen once and it wasn't fun. Good question though. Thanks!

  • tread pattern looks like blizzaks, is that right

  • @emeraldtint Yep, they are awesome in snow.

see all

  • @paraadrian11 That might be a little tricky...thank God for cell phones.

  • blackpearl6: try this. When mounting the wheels back on the car, get a long crowbar, heck you can even bend one to suit your ability or inability to bend over depending on your back strength, but position the crowbar directly at 6 o'clock under the tire and use it to balance the wheel on while you get the uppermost lug nut started. It's all cake after that. Works remarkably well.

  • time to solve the spinal issues that have plagued man. I gotta think we have the technology right here to solve this, wish Google or someone with the will and money get the 6million dollar man thing on track. Bud you make me ashamed when I make excuses due to my back issues that have plagued me. Please keep the video coming.

  • looks like there is nothing you cant do!!!!!

  • @blackpearlv6 Ahh doesn't sound nice... Thanks for replying!! :)

  • @blackpearlv6 the best snow and ice tire period
