automatic qualification as pile of shit by way of the manufacturer. GM=shit to me.

I could get laid in one. Hell I could get laid in one towing a pink Vespa behind it.

I don't think its a bad idea. What are they going to do about parking? The normal Segway you could put beside your desk. Without having special parking with a locking system, I could see them ending up in the back of pick up trucks.

Are they making this a sidewalk cruiser or is it for the street?

Looks like something that would be used in a situation where a golf cart is used now. It wont work on sidewalks and I dont see how it can work on public roads either.

I think some asshat is REALLY overthinking just building hybrid scooters for major urban centers.

i can wait to see the weak, cant do shit for themselves race of human beings in 100 years.

Epic fail on the "fast" claim.......But on the plus side, any guy who COULDN'T get laid with one of those is a loser. Chicks would be all over it.

Yea!......the ones with hairy legs and armpits that hold mourning sessions in the woods around here when some trees are cut down.:lol:

Uh, it's new, somewhat cute & trendy, and it's not supposed to be fast, it's for urban environments like NYC, so I think people will understand when they see people using them. When all you need to do is go a few blocks, using a full-size car is stupid IMO.

I suppose you guys call everyone who rides scooters in Asia gay as well. The reality is that using a sportbike or Harley in that type of traffic is stupid.

Yeah, and I'm not buying a "drive around in the city" car to go with my normal, "actually get me somewhere" car. And if you only have to go a few blocks, you're a fucking lazy shithead if you need to buy some abortion of a ski lift chair instead of walking your fat ass down the street. Thank God they didn't develop something like shoes with wheels on them or else people might get suckered into not sitting on their ever-expanding derrieres all day.

Also, if you read my last post it says WHY NOT JUST BUY A FUCKING VESPA? They're much cooler, probably more fun, and have the added advantage of proving, at least in this instance, that you can't read.

And no, it still looks gay. I know rims make anything attractive to some people who demonstrate a lack of taste in other areas such as clothes, music, politicians (oh yes he did!) but this thing still looks like 8 guys blowing nine guys. It's gayer than three boys fucking in the snow, and two of them liking it. I could get laid in it, but I'd have to work at it.

Well you don't live in a place like NYC or Tokyo, do you? So naturally you wouldn't buy one.

And why not buy a Vespa? Maybe because this thing carries 2 people more comfortably than a Vespa would, has a roof over it, and has some sort of computer navigation controls. Also it's just a concept vehicle intended to showcase ideas, nobody is forcing anyone to buy it.

As for how gay it looks, it's intentionally made small & short for good clearance. It's basically just a seat sitting on 2 wheels, so how fucking "masculine" do you expect it to look?

And besides, I thought only gay guys worry about how they look while driving/wearing certain things? :lol:

I want to know how long its going to take the Porn Industry to shoot a video with one as the 'center stage'... :D
