When we decided we wanted to buy Vespas, my boyfriend sold his car & we bought our scooters from the proceeds. We still have my car for the times we need to go out of town, haul big stuff, etc. Many people buy scooters for economic reasons (they're affordable, they get 75-100 mpg +, you can park them absolutely anywhere, etc), but most folks soon realize that's not even the best part of owning them. They're just plain fun! And being in a scooter club is just icing on the cake. We organize rides to swimming holes, to breweries, restaurants, and festivals. It's just a ton of fun!
