buy a Vespa

I just bought a vespa two weeks ago to run errands at stuff and I haven’t filled up the gas tank yet.

You don’t have to get a motorcycle license.. or insurance really at least in Florida if you are over 21. But I have the insurance.. I don’t need anyone stealing my $3,200 scooter. ;)

for my place in miami beach… u don’t need to drive on the beach…. n parkings a bitch.

My friends constantly tell me how stupid I’m going to look driving one, but hey, it’s probably the only means of transportation I’m going to be able to afford in the near future. And 100 mpg isn’t too bad either. :]

I mean, think about it…it’d cost like $20 to fill up your gas tank, and you’d be able to drive like 500 miles. Freaking sweeeet.

Also, they’re much better for the environment than cars. And I like helping the environment whenever I can.

And also…I don’t care what my friends say. I’d look fucking badass driving a moped. XD

But maybe within the next 3 years, I will invest in one. I like the old ones best! And I definitely want to take it to Italy.

Since I was little girl I looked at the Vespas all over Melbourne with longing. I wanted to be a Uni student who dresses liked the 50’s never left and zipped around town on a bright scooter with matching helmet.
Well, now that petrol prices have skyrocketed, my Vespa doesn’t seem such an impossible dream after all. Plus its much more affordable than a car, and in the Melbourne CBD who wants a car?!
The downside? I have to get a motorcycle license. And when riding on motorbikes really isn’t my favourite thing in the world this could get interesting…

with the rising gas prices, and the amount of driving that I do..
it’s actually not looking like such an irresponsible purchase.

Instead of being something I’d buy cuz I want one,
it may actually end up with a practical reason for doing so.

I’d love to have a bright blue, 1966 classic. I got my eye on one now. Ahh, lovely.
I just need to get a motorcycle license. :( poo

Does it seem weird though to own a vespa when you live in the suburbs? I want opinions! :) please. Thanks.

Gas prices are ridiculous, and they’re rising. Yet another reason to buy a scooter. :)

I’d prefer to have a Vespa, but a nice scooter of any kind would be ok.

I love the idea of having a Vespa as an excuse to get out of the house and ride around the neighborhoods at a nice slow speed in the evenings, at night or on the weekends. I think of it as something to do, a hobby of sorts, but also maybe a ride to work. I have looked at the website. I love the GTS250.
