Jet Powered Scooter
Remember the dude that built the jet engine powered VW Beetle? Well, he’s back, and using not one, but two jets to burn the rubber of his girlfriend’s Vespa scooter. We never did see that Beetle take off, but if we get a glimpse at this thing in action I’m willing to forgive and forget. Might wanna consider the Michelin tire guy’s jump suit for this test drive, Ron!

Grew up back East, got sick of the cold and headed West. Since I was small I have been pushing buttons - both electronic and human. With an insatiable need for tech I thought "why not start a blog focusing on technology, and use my dislikes and likes to post on gadgets."

    That’s crazy, you can cook hotdogs and marshmallows while you scoot along!

    And, not that it matters, but it’s a Honda scooter, not a Vespa

    lights,and some how start back up?.This sucks!.
