Electric Scooter?

Scooters are hot. Especially if they're electric and look like a vespa... where can I find one of those? Anyway, what's the deal with electric scooters? Does anyone have experience with them? Are they worth it? Are the gasoline ones so efficient that I shouldn't bother with an electric one? My CRX is essentially a scooter with walls, but to hell with that... scooters are hella cute.

Fuel Economy at high speeds measured

I dunno about the scooters, but motorcycles can get 55-60 pretty easily, but you could mod out your crx for less than buying one and be safer. I don't think the scooters go over 40 is the only problem, but def great in a city. I'd own one. But yeah, only problem I see is safety and weather, they are hella cute though I agree. I'll just reply to everything cuz I should be doing english homework...

Oh yeah, weather... that's not cool. I wanted a motorcycle, but Matt wants one too- so I figure I'll wait for him to get one and tire of it, then I'll buy it from him when he inevitably wants a bigger and better one In the mean time, a scooter seems fun.

~offtopic~

Why aren't you doing your homework? That's bad.... English is way easy too, you should just get it done

A Note on Tyre Pressure

Ahh I see... maybe there should be an "English Homework Help" sub category here for you

If you ever have troubles in English, you can ask Matt or myself for all the answers... we're smart

Average People Per Car

I test fine in english, good enough that I am happy with it when I show it to yale (I'll get slapped by them anyway for applying). It is just, essay, why am I writing this and why the hell can't you understand the way I think. I am perfectly aware I think in tangents and in several places at the same time, but hell, it is not so hard to keep up with if it is written down, but no, we want blah blah blah structure topic sentences my ***.
