Well its actually a really funny story... Me my dad and my brother went to go look at it and and my dad wanted to test drive it. Se he got on it and ran into his own car! at first I was freakin out but what I hadnt realized it but we had just bought it!! The vespa had a little dent in it but the drivers door of his car was smashed. haha!

I wasn't allowed to test drive mine as I didn't have a motorcycle endorsment on my license but I bought it anyway. Cute video

It's surprising a big company like Vespa doesn't hold a contest for people and owners to make videos and or songs, saying how great they are, or what the benefits, and how fun it is.

The prize should be a scooter and then the could make you travel around the country playing your video or singing your song at motorcycle shows.

It would be funny if someone like NapaCoach was in the crowd to throw underwear at you too- to make performance much more Tom Jonesy and hawt.

I guess I was not able to read the sarcasm, as I did not know about the contest myself until I started looking around. I do not know the person I responded to, or what he may have known. There was no way except guessing for me to have known that he was replying with sarcasm. Sarcasm requires context to have any meaning, which in this case I did not have. But thank you for kindly telling me his post had been as it is. My mistake.

no mistake

all is good

peace

and welcome to MV

ritchj has a phobia about emoticons
