Love Sticks, Sweat Drips

I have had a recurring fantasy the past few weeks.  In it, my gas-guzzling SUV vanishes into thin air and I am bestowed a lovely mint green Vespa scooter as a replacement.  I zip between cars in traffic and it never takes me longer than ten minutes to get anywhere.  Since this is all taking place in my head, there may or may not be a sidecar and a tiny helmet for my Vespa-loving cat.  We also fight crime through dance-offs with our enemies.  But that's off topic.

Reducing your carbon footprint, obtaining a motorcycle license and saving on car payments, gas and commute time are all great reasons to trade in your car for a Vespa if you live in a city.  Not to mention how cute you'll look!

  2. I have always wanted a scooter. But I honestly would hate to drive them in the street because I'd be so anxious.
