I think scooter commuters should have to drive a car once every six months, just to refresh how good it is to be on that scooter. Personally, I've had the car out couple of times in the last couple of months, and while it is still a nice car, it is an uninspiring act, driving a car to work. The worst part, I'm not driving because the elements forced it or even that I needed to haul something.
My wife set up an appointment for us to get some family pictures done today, and she wants me to 'look nice' which translates to 'no helmet hair please'. So, no scoot for me.
Next week though, I get to go test drive what is quite possibly my next car, the SMART fourTwo at the Atlanta tour stop. It will be interesting to see what I think of it after getting some time up close with it. Logically, it's a great idea, but there is still some question as to if it fits my needs. If it doesn't, I'll be keeping the Pacifica until it dies, and at 3 years old with only 24k miles on it, it's got a good chance of holding on for many years to come.
