daily driver

i was in San Francisco the other day and it cost me $80 to fill up my tank. It was definitely a cringe inducing moment. So I went out and searched endlessly for a new daily driver.

this is what i ended up with.



2005 50cc Yamaha Vino Classic. She only had 500 miles on the odo and came with an AWESOME basket. AWESOME mileage (90 MPG) and she's quite nimble. She'll be a good way to be green and to also keep the mileage low on my car ('05 w/ 28K, already)


and for everybody else in NorCal let's see your daily drivers!

it was a pretty sweet deal at $1100. considering i usually spend about $500 a month on gas it should pay for itself by the time summer is over. insurance for the scooter makes a big dent in my wallet, though. $75 a year!! OUCH!! hahah
