Nerdy Transportation? Not anymore!

Whenever I would see someone putting around town on a moped aka scooter, I would think to myself, "Wow! That person looks like a nerd!" Not that the person  was actually a nerd, they just looked so funny (kinda like the neighbor lady of Dorothy on Wizard of Oz riding her bike {with her theme music playing in the background}). :) I always laughed when I saw such a sight- especially when the driver of the scooter was a fat old man!

All that to say. . . Matt and I have officially become those nerds. We are now proud owners of a shiny, red 2012 Propel Malibu scooter! :) I'd like to think that when people see me driving my new scooter, they'll think I look cool or suave or something like that... ;) But that probably won't be the case.

With gas prices up to $3.77 a gallon and steadily rising, Matt and I thought that a scooter would be a good investment. Because we both work in town, go to church in town, have friends in town, and pretty much do everything in our lives in town, the idea seemed like a good one. We'll be happy to only fill our little tank every 100 miles!! :)

Today was so warm, we took the scooter out for our first rides around the neighborhood!

So next time you see someone riding around on one of these, don't let your initial thought be "Nerd!" Let it instead be "Oh! Smart! Great gas mileage! Frugal people!" :)
