We Bought A New Scooter - Something Old - Something New - Something Borrowed - Something Blue




Tall and tan and young and lovely
The girl from Ipanema goes riding
And when she passes, each one she passes goes, ah


We have purchased 73 vehicles. I was trying so hard to make 2018 the first year with no vehicle purchase. Like being in the mob - you try to get out - but they keep dragging you back in. Today - I drove to Blakely GA and bought this scooter. It is a 2017 Vespa Primavera 150. It only has 600 miles on it - and I got it for a great price.

Mainly - it is just like our old Vespa 150 that we bought new in 2007. We have it 11 years and Lulu takes it to campus because parking is difficult there. That is the longest we ever owned a vehicle. It has been a great scooter - and now we are selling it.

The new 2017 Vespa has many modern features. First off it has fuel injection. It also has ABS disk brakes. It has a completely redesigned engine and transmission. It can go 70 MPH - I did it today to make sure (I did wear my helmet). It has a digital dash board - LED lights - alloy wheels - and gets over 100 MPG. It rides two legally and safely. Lulu likes the light blue color - you can see she dressed for the event.

If we have this scooter as long as the last one - I will be 81 when I am selling it. Of course Lulu's new husband or boyfriend will love it.
