(Stylish two-wheeled transportation for a family of four! SOURCE: motoring.co.za)
Yes, we all know the economy isn’t what it used to be here in the good ol’ USA. American families may find themselves resorting to transportation options normally reserved for countries where cars are not affordable… Like THIS, the Vespa GT4 400! No, no, no I’m kidding, it’s only a 300. :-P (In an alternate universe.)
But in reality, this is just a marketing toy built under the direction of Vespa South Africa’s marketing director Andy Reid. Reid was the guy who came up with the idea to place fake parking tickets on legally parked cars for driving difficult-to-park, fuel-guzzling motor vehicles instead of scooters.
I thought it was an abomination the first time I looked at it, but the more I gawk, the more I want to give it a spin.
Thanks to Ilya for the scoop!

Wow, that would be a hoot to have out on New Year's Eve…a Vespa Limo or sorts.

that would probably scare me if I was driving it. I sometimes have issues riding mine with people on the back because they are idiots and move too much
I love it though!!!
