Welcome to Motorability Island, the Education and Car Culture facility in SecondLife representing the United Spinal Association. Enoy cars, racing and many services in the welcome center for disabled citizens.
If you're a new user to SecondLife then welcome and if you're returning visitor to the complex, welcome back and enjoy yourself.
If this is your first time visiting Motorability Island, please take a few minutes to read this notecard, which will give you a better understanding of what United Spinal's role is in SecondLife, as well as outline the rules and regulations we have here, to maximise everyone's enjoyment of the complex.
The following is taken from the United Spinal Association's website:
"United Spinal Association is a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit membership organization formed in 1946 by paralyzed veterans. Our mission is to improve the quality of life of Americans with spinal cord injuries and disorders (SCI/D). Membership is free and open to all individuals with spinal cord injuries and diseases.

Motorability Island in SecondLife is a vast, 7 sim complex designed specifically to promote United Spinal Association in SL, via the Education Center and other builds dotted around the Island. We, along with the United Spinal Motorsports Programme are complete petrolheads, so you'll also find loads of really cool stuff to do with a car around here too. We've got 2 full oval circuits, a full inter-sim road system, car themed nightclub with live DJs, go-kart racing, car dealerships, scooter shack and the rather cool AskPatty.com center too, which offers automotive advice for women, from some of the top women in the US automotive industry. There are also several other exciting builds planned, such as an education center for wannabe SecondLife vehicle designers, a drag strip and a drift track.
Finally, we'd like to highlight some of the rules and regulations around the Island. As you may have noticed, all 7 sims are rated PG, so that means there are a few Dos and Don't to adhere to please.
* Please don't use weapons. This includes guns, griefing weapons etc.
* No griefing. Just don't do it please. This is a charitable facility. If you have to pick on someone, please don't pick on us.
* No nudity. As much as we love people being free spirits, the PG rating means that you've got to have fun with your clothes on.
* Please, be courteous to other sim users. Treat people as you would like to be treated.
* Please, no racism, bigotry, homophobia or antisocial behaviour. We will not tolerate any of this.
* Where possible, please remove any items that you've rezzed once you've finished with them. We like the place looking tidy
* Whilst some areas might have public build enabled, this is to allow you to rez cars etc. and the Island isn't a designated 'sandbox', so please don't fill the place with small wooden cubes etc.
All rule breaches will be looked at and action may be taken. If someone asks you to stop doing something that is breaking the rules then please stop. If you continue, you face the possibility of being ejected from the complex and possibly banned permanently.
However, there is one final rule that we'd like you to stick to 100%. Please DO enjoy yourself and have as much fun as you can!
We hope you enjoy your visit here and that next time you come, you bring a friend or two with you too. If you'd like to contact a member of the management team, you can send a message via the blue mailboxes dotted around the island.
