    Agreed. Maybe the Germans should make a 6 cylinder truck. They know how to make 6 cylinders sound better than their V8’s.

    A Vespa on the highway...probably be even more terrifying than a smart car.

    Yeah, Liquidambars suck. Here is where they are native to:

    Every time I see one, I think, "Go back ta where ya came from!"

    I'm a landscaper, so I can say that.

    I do enjoy the Autumn color though...

    If anyone here know the section of 92 west, between Alameda De Las Pulgas and Laurelwood... I was chugging up that grade in my old Scout 80, going 55 - 60, in 1992. My buddy passed me on his Vespa 150, with his girlfriend on the back, going about 75 - 80. They can be bored out and modified to be the ultimate sleepers.

    Rather just get a Honda ruckus. At least they look somewhat neat when modified.

    I drove a Vanderhall today. It’s really low. Weird cause my truck is tall enough you could drive the Vanderhall under it. Ok, it wasn’t that low but it was low.

    Dude had a shaved head, wallet chain, Doc Martens, and a bomber mod jacket. Kinda neo-nazi look... except he is Jewish. The Vespa was an essential part of the kit.

    Now he is a principal of an architecture firm, but still races those Vespas.

    Whatever that is it looks like loads of fun

    I only knew of one male that rode a Vespa. Some crazy Sicilian. Guy would absolutely fly through streets on that thing and hop curbs.

    They had a rally in Washington State this year. Most peeps ride to it. I know a couple of folks who went this year.

    And yes, loads of fun.
