I took this pic yesterday leaving the olive garden. In all honesty if I would've seen the owner I would've said something to them.

I think the OP is pointing out that the likelihood of a physically handicapped person driving a corvette is minimal.
I'd like to point out that there are a number of legally recognized disabilities that are not visually apparent or actually inhibit one from driving. Granted some of these I don't think should merit the issuing of a disability permit, but they are nonetheless legal.

Since you didn't see him maybe he or she IS handicapped. After my moms heart attack (and recovery) she got a handi plate so as not to have to walk a half mile for parking, at the mall, when shopping

The 97 C5 I owned a few years ago had a handicapped previous owner when bought new. From the info I got about the car is that it was outfitted for a person with no legs.
It was switched back to stock before I bought it.
I am guessing either the OP does not see the handicap logo on the tag or he is insensitive to handicapped people, if it's the latter I say Karma is a bit*h.

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

I suggest you call your state senator if it bugs you that much.

Such as? If it was to put the owner down, you couldn't be a bigger jerk if you tried. Maybe he has a major illness and this vette is his last love in life. Jumping to conclusions is just wrong.

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 ?
