Anyone handicapped doesn't belong in one. The reason for the parking spot is easy access to the building and such. There is nothing easy about getting in and out of a corvette. That being said if u can get your happy butt in and out of a corvette then you really aren't disabled and should maybe save the spot for someone who actually needs it

Such as saving the spot for someone who actually needs it and yes im around physically challenged people everyday. Come on now really you've never seen someone perfectly healthy park in a handicapped spot?

No one's Business
A person's disability is nobody's business. The vehicle a disabled person drives is nobodys business either. This particular C5 is registered to a disabled person and has every right to park in the handicap spot.
I wouldn't blink an eye if I were to see this at my local Olive Garden.

My mother has had a few heart attacks in the past and still has a heart condition. She is perfectly capable of getting in and out of a Corvette, and she does ride in mine when I take her to her doctor's appointments or when I treat her out to dinner.
She has a Handicapped placard that I use on my Vette when she is in it because although physically she can get in and out of my car, she cannot walk a great distance without getting tired.
Do you see this scenario ?

Seriously dude. lots of people with blood clotting issues, respiratory issues, or heart ailments are perfectly capable of driving a vette.
You need to grow up, I know more than a few handicapped people who would have knocked your teeth out if you tried to dictate what handicapped people can and cannot drive!

It's actually a C6, but the point is correct. It's none of rootpooty's business who gets a handicapped tag. What's next, you can't drive a truck, or a Cadillac, or a Mazda? Sounds like jealousy over either the car or the use of the handicapped parking spot, I can't tell which. But to complain about it on a public Corvette forum without knowing the circumstances of the owner is hard to comprehend.
