Illegally park, much?
Don't think the owner was handicapped?
I didn't check and see if there was a hangtag, so I can't say, although I will mention that the businesses served by that parking lot were not open today and no other vehicles were parked in the lot. Perhaps the vehicle's owner was an owner of one of the businesses who just stopped in for a moment.

Of course, thanks to size, I'm sure crampness would get to your legs enough where you'd need a wheelchair.
I joke, though.
being disabled isnt limited to physical though,theres a brabus smart parked in glasgow everyday with one of those disabled parking badges on it.i remember a while ago in auto express someone wrote in with a huge rant about someone with a vx220 that always parked in a disabled spot and it wasnt the kinda car that kinda person would drive etc,owner wrote in a few weeks later saying he suffered iirc from a heart condition which meant he was able to get a disabled parking pass.

That's interesting to see a Camaro overseas. Even I used to see them quite common out here in cow country, but I haven't seen any in a while. I see more Mustangs now than Camaros. A really sweet late 60's early 70's Mustang Mach 1 Fastback drove by the house earlier today while I was out cutting the grass. Sounded great, too. I may not see the supercars in this area, but I sure do see the classics every now and then.

Yeah, other than the standard Chrysler line-up, American domestic market cars aren't common at all in the UK. In fact Chrysler (and Ford which doesn't really count) is the only US car company that sells cars in the UK, and that was only in the last 12 years or so when we first got the Cherokee then their MPV thingy. Although I only get back to England once a year or so, I think the only vaguely common USDM cars are the the bigger pick-ups. Although I haven't been back for a year so I could be wrong.
Well, as Danachronism said, that doesn't exactly seem like the car a handicapped person would drive.

In Colorado you can get a disabled permit for damn near anything, it sometimes seems like. Case in point:
Spots today...
Jaguar convertible (actually note that this is not just a DB7 but the rarer DB7 V12 Vantage Volante - not just the standard 6-cylinder)

I would think the opposite. Easy to park close to anything even if there are no disabled spaces and high off the ground, so easily accessible.

Going to Le Mans greatly increases your chances of seeing some really rare and unusual cars, this was the road into our campsite and we sat there for a couple of hours watching the cars come in. I have only posted the more interesting stuff as stuff like BMW M cars and Ferraris were everywhere.

I saw what appeared to be a 1968 Shelby Mustang GT500 KR. Seemed to be the genuine detailing and a numberplate proclaiming "KR GT500".
Of course, the fact that there were only 933 ever built (according to wikipedia) makes it seem unlikely but not completely implausible that it was a real one.

Oh yes. As did the other couple we saw. But this sounded best. Big V8 and complete with correct style of horn. Oh er.

A very cool car. Had a look inside and i think it had the steptronic shifter.
Being right hand drive and a 1997/8 model (4.4l v8)would make it one of just 1,470 made (says this site anyway)
