Default Anyone else feel like those rascal scooters ruin car shows?

I was at the Street Rod Nationals Saturday. Great show, but people on those "handicap" scooters are damn near beginning to outnumber people walking. Especially the indoor portions of the show I was constantly dodging motorized vehicles. I just feel like its inconsiderate to those at the show to feel like you are entitled to take up more space than everyone else.

Now to be clear for those that for real absolutely need them. I get it. I wouldnt wish for someone who couldnt otherwise enjoy life to just sit at home and rot.

That said, just playing the numbers there were LOTS of people on them who couldnt have put forth a little effort and been just fine. Fat and or lazy is not a handicap. They make the fewer number who really need them look bad.

Im a big guy too, after walking around a swap meet on asphalt and concrete my feet for sure wish I was 215 pounds instead of 250. You know what wont help at all? Doing as little physical exertion as possible.

There was also a dude with a full on prosthetic lower leg walking around just fine like a savage. I damn near asked the dude if I could take a picture with him.
