In what sense?  I don't believe that you feel that "handicapped" folk
shouldn't own Hummers, or that the condition of being "handicapped"
prohibits one from owning any sort of vehicle one chooses--so the irony
can't reside there.  It may be, considering that there's no visible
marking on the license plate nor visible hangtag, that the Hummer's
illegally parked, which does form an ironical juxtaposition, but it is
impossible to discern this in the photo alone.  Or, perhaps, finally,
you intend to suggest that *anyone* who would buy a Hummer is in someway
"handicapped," but it requires a far stretch or the imagination, I
think, to light confidently on this interpretation: again, based solely
on the image offered.

Cheers,

Chandos

Sonny,

There're some ways in which one might view this  photograph as mildly
offensive, but I can't imagine that this is your  intent.  What do *you*
intend to convey by  it.

Cheers!

Chandos

I see irony in the combination.


Regards,  
Sonny
