ha! this must be common, i hear you. i remember when i crashed two summers
ago, i wasn't busted up or anything, but my palm was scratched and
bleeding, and here i was picking up my scooter without aid. and one person
pulled over. not to ask if i was okay,but to see if i wanted to sell my
vespa allstate... he handed me his business card and told me to give him a
call if i wanted to sell it, jumped back in his car and left.
