Dreaming of a Vespa

I'm thinking about buying a Vespa.  Am I ready for this kind of responsibility?  

I've proudly been vehicle-free for years.  But it also makes me a little crazy, because I don't get out of the city much and am at the mercy of public transportation, kind friends, and my own (injured) limbs.  

This all started when my parents visited last September and suggested I buy a scooter.  I dismissed it as crazy-talk,  until I had a vivid dream a few weeks ago that I'd purchased a Vespa.

In my dream, the scooter was red and I named it Mr. Darcy.  I suppose it would be fun to say "Mr. Darcy and I are going to the farmer's market."

Do it!!! Vespas look awesome and you can park them almost any where.

I'd love one myself but in Toronto you can't just park them anywhere. You have to pay regular parking fees which can equal hundreds a month. Not to mention with our weather I'd only be able to drive it about 6 months out of the year.

Yes! Do it! And get a hood helmet with jaw protector and faceplace that keeps bugs out of your teeth.
