Default Canadian R8 takes up 4 Handycap parking spots

This was just too good to pass up posting. Check out the pictures. If you ask me the guy was lucky to get off with only a ticket. If this would of been in LA someone would of keyed the car too.

At least he was decent enough to park sufficiently across all 4 to still allow the disabled to get in and out of their cars.

What an asshat, why wasn't he parked a thousand miles away at the other end of the lot? He's at Costco, how much is he buying?

Way to further push the snob image. Park at the end of the lot if you're that concerned about cars being near yours

true but at these stores, (Costco, Wally World, best buy etc) there is never enough spots in the parking lot; even if you park at the end, and walk about a mile to the store there's always this random beater that comes outta nowhere parked next to you.

I would've done the same, screw it give me my ticket I'll be on my way.

But then again I would never drive an R8 to my local Costco; that just asking for dent-trouble.

Even as an R8 owner if I personally saw that I would probably leave a little gift for the owner

I hope you don't seriously mean that. That ticket would not even begin to be a paltry compensation to the mobility-impared person who was deprived of that spot and had to park elsewhere. Yes, finding convenient, or even any, parking can be very frustrating at times. But I know I thank the Lord for being blessed with good health every time I see someone who is incapacitated and unable to have the mobility that I enjoy.
