Vespa collector....
« on: August 27, 2023, 05:36:55 PM »
This fellow in Palm Springs just collected his 9th 2023 Vespa GTS 300.
He's going for all the colors......MSRP $8100 for the Super Sports.
8 of his collection here....



Wonder if he's going to trade them all in for 2024's?

that's a lot of money to tie up in a fairly quickly depreciating asset(s)...but if money is no object then enjoy! (it is kind of cool to have every color in the lineup)

I'm out collecting bottles and beer cans for the recycling center.
Figure in about 6 yrs I'll have enough scratch for one of those pretty gloss white Liberty150i's!

As Leno said, when asked about his massive car collection - "hey, if you could, who wouldn't?!"

Daughter said our yard isn't big enough to justify the purchase of a riding mower.
Not sure this is germane to this conversation, but.....
