The 2011 Vespa LX50 4V is stylish, gas efficient and will keep money in your pocket this summer.

If you want an alternative to spending a lot on gas this summer, a Vespa is your means of transportation. We understand the Vespa isn’t for everyone. It’s practical if you travel short distances to work, school or the office.

With the maximum speed at 39 mph and gas mileage 85-90 mpg you surely can’t go wrong. The Vespa is the primary means of transportation in a lot of foreign countries due to fuel cost and over population. Make a difference and consider one of these scooters. Your carbon print will impressive. Side Note: Wear a helmet even if you’re in a state that doesn’t require you to do so…

Speed: Rolls Royce Ghost

Written by Jerris Madison on . Posted in Speed


I’ve never been much of a car person but this Rolls Royce Ghost 2011 has changed my mind.

Zero to 60 mph goes by in 4.7 seconds and if you keep your Allen Edmonds fully planted in the shearling wool carpeting, you’ll reach 120 mph in about 12 seconds. The eight-speed automatic transmission dispatches full-tilt gear changes with the barest perceptible flutter.

The Ghost in all ways is a more measured, more realistic car. It is, first of all, much smaller—17.7 feet in length (17.1 inches shorter), 76.7 inches abeam (down 1.6 inches), 61 inches high (down 3.3 inches) and weighing 5,445 pounds (down 353 pounds).

The 2011 Rolls-Royce Ghost is indeed an historic car: It’s the first small Rolls-Royce launched since the 1949 Silver Dawn. “Small” is a relative term, however. Though 17.1 inches shorter than a Phantom sedan, the 212.6-inch Ghost is still 4.3 inches longer than a Bentley Continental Flying Spur, and weighs a not insubstantial 5450 pounds. This is not a compact econo-Rolls.
