I had the bright idea of getting a moped or small scooter. Did the math, for my 14 mile round trip commute I would need to go 10 thousand miles to just break even. 715 days of riding it, or almost 2 years rain or shine and not counting any maintenance, tags, tax, repairs, etc.

I know many say for the insight, "its made of aluminum" for the price reason.

Not sure what the geo has going for it in regards to price hikes during the hikes in fuel prices.

I remember when gas prices spiked in '08, people were paying stupidly high numbers for worn out Geo Metros and gen. 1 Honda Insights.
