Vespa owners are all right in my book

Yesterday morning I went to the car wash to vacuum and wash my car, and being that it was about 11:00 AM, the car wash was full. Every stall was taken, both by someone washing and someone vacuuming. As I pulled into the stall after vacuuming, I put my tokens in and began washing my car. About halfway thru, I looked over next to me, and one stall down from me there was a Vespa parked in front of the vacuum, and the proud owner standing next to it, waiting patiently for the wash. Obviously there's no interior to vacuum, and I can hardly see the point to washing it either. But he was patiently waiting his turn, and to make it even funnier to me, he had stylish circa 1983 sweatpants on.

I have to say, whenever I see someone cruising on a Vespa, wearing a helmet, maxed out at about 40 mph, I always say to myself, "Man he/she's got some balls to be cruising down the street on that thing." Anyone who can ride a Vespa day in and day out is all right in my book. I'm not being sarcastic. I really mean it. I don't have it in me to ride one of those things. And yesterday, for the first time, I got to say to myself, "Man, not only does he have the balls to pimp a Vespa, but he's got some pretty big ones to bring it to the car wash during peak hours, letting it be known to all the he's the proud owner of a beautiful bike/scooter. That guy is all right in my book.
