No I am serious. I want to ride a scooter. But we need a motorbike license here for that. I was in Cuba and you don't require a license. I went 100 k on a scooter in Cuba. That was the best 100 K i have ever had. Now I Understand bike people.

When I was in India, I used to get around on a scooter-motorcycle hybrid type of thing. Scooters are considered too "oldschool" so they make stuff for young people that's kind of in between. You had to be 18 to ride one, of course, but I was 11 when I started.

'twas pimp is all I can say. I'd regularly go 60kph (~40mph) on the residential streets and it was a total blast.

I love these kinds of questions.........

For 50k, I'd get a loaded Infiniti M45 Sport (new)

For 100k, I'd probably end up buying a Maserati Coupe Gransport V8 (look it up bitches) or a used Ferrari 355 Spyder......whichever struck my fancy after a day of test driving.....

50k = Audi S4 Cabriolet/BMW M3 Convertible/Lotus Elise/Porsche Boxster

100k = NSX T/New Aston (AMV8? it think)/911 Cabriolet

Would have to test drive the cars to narrow it down to THE one
