  1. I've been getting into scrubs again,so now I want a moped. To be honest I kinda don't anything when it comes to looking for the right thing and I don't wanna be a dumbass. So what are things are should know when browsing for a moped.

     
  2. Technically a moped is a 2 wheeled vehicle that you can pedal or use the motor. I'm guessing you're looking for a scooter and probably something 50cc so you don't need a motorcycle license. If so, a Honda would be a safe bet. It's best if you have some idea about motorized vehicles and it's definitely recommended that you have some dexterity so you don't crash and die. Also, don't skimp on the helmet and buy the helmet new.
     
  3. Honda metropolitan, my uncle has 45,000 miles on his.

  9. i wonder how much you could feed it before stuff started to melt?
     
  10. Most of the off brand China stuff use pretty much the same running gear so you can just find one in the right price range. After you find the one you like google the hell out of it to see how good they are.

    pure insanity! prolly only lasted for a couple blasts. i saw a youtube video of some guys pop a Geo metro like mine with a gradually increasing volume dry shot. right into the throttlebody. these old cars are TBI like 80s Camaros. the whole throttle body pops off and catches fire. go to around 4 minutes and see the Mighty Suzuki G10 flaunt its marvelous durability. spoiler, he blows the rear main seal near the end and continues.
