My new ride........

[charlie_the_tuna]

so my now 20 year old is driving the car I bought from my father in law, to get to work and school. (he has beaten the sh!t out of this thing but that's another story). a little back story. my father in law, like the rest of us lost his car in THE STORM!!! so he went out and bought a brand new 2012 chevy impala. oh, how I wish he bought a camry or an accord. so anyway he put about 2,000 miles on it and got sick and died. before he went we bought it from him. my wife did, because I would have chewed him down to nothing. still got a great deal! anyway, my kid got his license and started going to the local community college so he needed a car. we gave him this one. when he got his license my insurance went through the roof so I sold the Yukon. now, I cant afford another car and my 16 year old will be driving very soon and I have to get a ride to and from the train station every day. it's less than a half mile so it's not a big deal. so my wife and I talked about me getting a scooter. yes, I said 'scooter'. so I did some research and zeroed in on this one. very uncommon in my area but mid atlantic states and new England, they seem to be very popular. so I found one in new Hampshire, a 5 hour drive. I wont go into the long version but after some intense negotiations I got the guy down to $2,150. brand new, sticker is $2,699. and after all the plus, plus, plus, plus, it was close to $4,000. the one we got is a 2018 with 500 miles on it. just broken in. these get well over 30K or more. the insurance will cost less than $10. a month and they get over 100 miles to the gallon so i'll basically fill the tank 4 times a year. I can ride it 10 months out of the year and when my little guy gets his license in feb, he can use it too. i'm gonna put a milk crate on the back with a couple rod holders and he'll be able to zip around with his gear and fish where ever he wants. I know i'm going to look absolutely ridiculous on this thing but to get to and from the station, i'm OK with that. plus I can park it in the train yard so theft wont be an issue. anyway, this is what it looks like but I got all black. video below.
