Each of the side members of the base frame has a telescopically extendable elongate support brace upwardly extending therefrom. Each of the arm members has a tubular collar disposed therearound. Each of the collars is coupled to the top end of an adjacent support brace. A stick shift input device is pivotally coupled to one of the side members. A pair of foot pedal input devices are mounted to the front end member of the base frame.
