So I decide to made one. My first car was just a Rebadged Kia Sephia that I bought for 1500usd, so you maybe won't interested with that. But this maybe will.

That's my first ever motorized transportation that I have. A Yamaha Mio made in 2007. It's a mid engine, rear wheeldrive, automatic scooter. The engine was a very tiny 100cc, producing some 10hp. But because the CVT was geared so low ( top speed was only 75), the scooter accelerates in the most crazy imaginable way. It's like the scooter wants to leave you behind. 0-60 takes less than 8second.

Plus it was made from plastic, some sort of ABS plastic. So it was easy to repaint.

Yes, the brake has no abs so it's wobbles when you put some heavy braking, and it only haves 0.75gallon of fuel tank. But it's only cost you 1000bucks. And no matter how hard you try to drive it, you'll always get 20-30km/l, which is great.

I love my scooter.

Man, I love me some scooters. Got my motorcycle license just so I could eventually buy one. Although this is where the realities of US snowbelt living come in, and I wouldn't get any of the benefits motorcycles enjoy around the rest of the world, like legal lane splitting and dedicated parking.
