Glad to read you're keeping your car. Like you, I can't walk well either due to back injury.
My final employer took responsibility for my lower back, right shoulder (rotator cuff) and separated tendons in my right forearm, then backed out on the day of the first surgery. As part of the legal settlement, my employer paid cash but denied responsibility despite being there 13 years.
Worker's Comp wouldn't pay as a result and my group insurance wouldn't pay because these were clearly worker's comp issues. I paid for the tendon reattachment surgery out of pocket but the back and shoulder surgery will have to wait until at least February, 2020 as my agreement states I can't seek a remedy through Medicare before then.
Thinking I'm done buying vehicles for now, keeping all of them for the time being. With the Mustang, I have to roll out of the car and pull myself up. I occasionally have issues getting my bikes off of their centerstands so I enlist a neighbor when available. Have both a cane and walker that I use around the house on rare occasions.
I seem to be the last family member in the Charlotte region; have children and grand children in the Aiken - Batesburg area. Hoping to finalize plans to move down there later this year.
Current Garage:
2005 Mustang GT Premium
