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.
