"I was really tired of gas prices. I couldn't even really afford car payments (in the military), so paying almost three dollars a gallon was just killing me. I saw a smaller Vespa ride by (I think it was the 150) and thought it probably did well on gas but wouldn't be able to go fast enough to get me from one 40 mph area to another via a highway. Then I saw this on the Vespa website: Goes over 65? I'll look into it. I went and picked it up two weeks later. I got mine in a Vintage Green: you know, the color of your gandma's refrigerator from the 60s. This thing handles like a dream; hardly bats an eye going over 70 mph. I fill up with premium every two weeks and it costs about six dollars (average) to do so. I can get seventy miles to the gallon after an oil change. Anything I don't like about it would be so inconsequential in comparison to the value of this thing. Winter. Winter is a problem. Don't drive it in winter. Starts up fine but, you know, ice and all. The space under the seat will fit a laptop and maybe some books. About four days of groceries, maybe. Get the luggage trunk for the back and you can get a weeks worth. And I thought I would have to pretty much surrender my manhood for buying it but, as it turns out, the hipster coffeehouse type girls love it. " more
