Oddest vehicle you have seen a handicap tag on

I saw one on a sports car - can't remember the make or model, but I do remember doing a double take. I also saw a women at the grocery store that had a wheelchair accessible pick-up truck. It had some sort of contraption in the back (bed) that allowed her to drive and operate the thing all by herself - pretty neat.

Not that odd, but I'll include it.

I live in suburban Massachusetts.  Most people drive cars or SUVs.  A man in my condo complex drives one of those really high Ford F150s.  He has a handicap tag.  It's sort of funny to watch him climb in and jump out. (Yes, he physically jumps!)  While not all handicaps are obvious, his hangtag is one of much speculation at the condo complex.  One condo board member who is in her 80s gets really upset about it.  She doesn't use her tag often, preferring to save the spots for those who 'really really need it' and hobbles past him with her cane.

This one kind of boggles my mind as well.  I understand like you said, that not all handicaps are visible... but you said that the guy JUMPS in and out of the huge truck?  I wonder, is it legal for the condo association to actually question if it is legitimate or not.  I can imagine how easy it would be to make a fake one or use someone elses, seeing how underaged drinkers can always find someone to get them an ID even. 

I should not speculate, but the first thing that pops into my mind is that this might possibly be a case of someone using a relative's handicap sign.  It happens too often.

It wasn't odd, but this is what worked for my Mom. She drove an Escort wagon the whole time Dad was in a wheelchair. That kept all lifting to reasonable levels and allowed for maximum mobility.

She nearly had a stroke of her own the day she inquired about a van conversion for wheelchair use.

I have seen several motorcycles with handicap tags. Usually they are trikes, but it makes you wonder what type of handicap a person has and can still ride a motorcycle.

about the sports car --- a friend of mine has a knee fused and a low slung sports car is easier for him to slip in and out of.

A hearse...... I'm not kidding.    Our local funeral director is handicapped.

OK, this car is just strange to begin with, but heck, it did have a handicapped tag...

in the late 1990's, at a club I used to hang out at, one of the guys who went a lot (I did not know him) drove a lime green YUGO, with those neon lights under and inside of it in purple, it had pink fuzzy interior, the stearing wheel was one that looked like a chain, it had low profile tires and was very low to the ground with a bunch of other bells and whistles, including one of those horns that plays different tunes...it looked like the guy spent 20 thou pimping out a 5 thoudsand dollar car.  I do not know what his handicap was, it was not visible...

I'm guessing night blindness.

He could be like my mom who has a handicapped tag because she has severe asthma and can't always walk across a parking lot without having breathing difficulties for the rest of the day. She also jumps in and out of her new pick-up. Not all handicaps are visible or readily apparent.

Honestly, we used to joke that maybe he was color blind or that all of this taste was in his mouth..some people love that kind of showy vehicke, but COME ON, it was a YUGO!!!
