Global warming, $4 gas, a performance car (fun but a little guilt inducing), and a secret wish to be cool-:) were the motivators...
OK, which one to buy?
The coolest ones are Vespas....seductive, rolling art...the Vespa GTS i.e. in dragon red or shiny black ..tasty...but one must be rational...
Requirements: 15 mile highway commute on 280, reasonable storage capacity, > 60 mpg. The vespa does all of this well...the one issue is the wheel size, 12 inch wheels means being very sensitive to freeway rain grooves and that nasty wobbly feeling....but i could just look at a vespa and feel happy....but alas, it was not to be...at Scuderia in sf i spotted a left over 2006 scarabeo 500, 16 inch wheels, top and side cases, 120 mph top speed , 55 mpg for $5200 (the vespa was 6k without the extras and almost 7k with luggage and windshield)...so parsimony won...I got the scarabeo...
