Re: The Scooter Revolution has Started

I don't know if the OP (Elite? LOL) is a troll or a tool (or both) but this gets my vote for worst thread of the year. Something tells me the OP is single, has no friends and looks really stupid on his scooter. Anyhow, there is NO shortage of scooters. If someone wants one they can get one delivered...

Re: I need helpful advice, not post-facto criticism, please

I'm too tired to read all of the posts so I'm not sure if someone suggested this or not... you can rent a uhaul for like 50 bux to bring it home.
