Mostly, it was easy to park anywhere and he said his kids loved going for rides in it while they were growing up. Avital Ungar had planned to purchase a Vespa to get around town easier when she saw a friend at a party who suggested buying a meter maid car instead.

He had his out front and said she could take a test drive. After zipping up and down Clarion Alley in the Mission, she was hooked and spent the next six months researching how to get her own. I always found motorcycle spots and I could ride in the rain whereas a bike or a motorcycle I wouldn't have been able to.
