easy there, I just took a pic for fun, I never said I use the tag myself. I only use it when I go out with my dad, and he is a legal user

Parking are never a problem with all the places I go, so I have no reason to use it. It is not worth it for the huge fine also.

I agreed 100%.

And please don't get me wrong, I am not here to make fun of people with disabilities. My joke is just on how just about every LS430 I see has that tag since 98% of the owners are really old

Hey anotherLS, did you have to modify your LS430 to be able to drive like throttle control by hand, etc?

yup had to modify it with the Menox hand control

http://www.menox.org/en/hc_engineering/

expensive system but if you buy a new car, most dealerships will reimburse up to $1000 for the system which really helps, but with me i keep buying and selling cars alot i pay $600 to swap out from vehicle to vehicle

Dang your LS is low anotherLS

Cool mod BNR
I had one for my mother also. Parking up close was awesome.

Of course you can't park in the handicap for yourself-that person has to be with you. Besides, how lazy would you (not you personally) be?

I've seen people fight for the closest parking when there's an empty spot 2 spots down, bunch of laaaaazy a$$

Just kidding, it is my dad's tag
I've got one of those too when I go out with my mom
She can walk normally, but she's got arthritis, so she got this tag that she can put in any car to minimize walking as much as possible.
Don't mind it on my cars at all, it's actually a convenience for me too - can find good parking space easier, & these handicapp parking spaces are extra wide, so much less fear for door dings
