Modern Vespa

So I just got back from the Cannonball, and all those expenses need to be taken care of, all my suppliers are gone for August, so I have been stocking up as much as possible over the last two weeks, we outgrew our space about two years ago and have been looking for about three times what we have now, and then this thing appears on craigslist.
It is impractical, probably a complete waste of money, more than likely can't be plated in any state, and I'm all out of stupid decision money, but look at how cool this thing is!!!

"This is a 1960s Mohawk Bicycle that has been cut and streched with a 1944 briggs and stratton engine in it has headlight and tail light with hand throttle cranks and runs with only one pull also have another engine to go with it that also cranks up and runs with just one pull, the engine on the bike is March of 1944 and has a cast iron head the extra engine is April of 1953 and has an alunamum head but other than that they are the same 550 dollars or best offer"

Two things: 1) no decent brakes on that thing. That's the sensible side of my brain talking.
2) I'm more interested in the car behind it.
In both cases, I don't need either one, don't have the coin for either one, but want the car anyway.

Nice moped!

Go for it and i'd ride it over here. Define legal. Briggs and Stratton engines are cool, Had on on my mini bike when i was a kid. That bike got me hooked on riding. You only live once and money, you can't take that with you.

I don't understand.

How can you not buy that?
