It's probably just me...

My biggest gripe was buying a house with a two-car garage. We had built our own from where we moved from: two cars and a 17' boat and motor with trailer, and still had room for other things. Can hardly park two trucks next to each other in the narrow driveway, and the sprinkler system is right next to it.
Shouldn't gripe. The garage had room for our sports car and a lot of my fishing gear.

The placard that hangs on the rear view mirror is a great option.

I drove dad to all his appointments in a truck licensed to both of us. So the placard went in the glovebox when it was just me in the truck.

Some days I could see he was doing good or just feeling spunky, so I'd park a distance away and we'd walk (slowly) into the store or doctor's office.
Other days I hung the placard and parked close to the store or office.

One time someone felt it necessary to inform me that I didn't need the placard because I walked from the truck to the building just fine.
Dad flipped him the bird when I gathered him from the doc's office and we walked out to the truck.
I had run some errands while he was in there.

I still have the placard, but not the dad.
I never use it because it wouldn't be right. Dad would frown on that behavior.

It's nice to have options (and not have to explain plates when dad wasn't with me) to a super-citizen or LEO asked to check me out by a super-citizen.
Very handy.

I had a temporary handicap placard after my knee surgery in 2017. I wore a knee brace for a while and still to this day use a cane on occasion.

I often stopped in at American Legion and VFW posts throughout south central PA. Even with the placard, I would park at regular parking spaces near the handicapped parking spaces because I figured that chances were good that a veteran would come around who was in worse shape than I was.
 
Talk about doors!

I had an '83 Buick La Sabre two-door.

You had to park in a football-field to completely swing the doors open.

One thing that "boat":rolleyes: has that I liked on some of my former vehicles is the trim on the doors that acts like a bumper against door dings. Obviously, not many other folks liked them because ALL vehicles these days have smooth, no trim, exteriors.:(
