A New Spin on the Mobility Scooter

My parents live in a condo that is part of an "Active Adult Community."  The place is basically a three-dimensional advertisement for assistive walking devices and other mobility aids.  The word "active" is taken with a pretty large grain of salt.

Each unit in the building has assigned parking spaces.  Next to one of my parents' spots sits this beauty:


I have yet to see the resident that sits upon this fine chopper and sports the matching helmet.  I do want to point out something that you may have yet to notice:


Yes, this scooter has a handicapped license plate.  I am of the firm belief that if one is able-bodied enough to navigate a red scooter through the streets of suburban Connecticut, then one should not qualify for handicapped parking.  Apparently the the Powers-That-Be in Connecticut's Department of Motor Vehicles do not agree.
