This is no troll. I was honestly coming here for input. I've obviously come to the wrong place. Enjoy the next couple of weeks, because I plan on dumping about 20 new scooters on to 30a by the end of the month!

The wrong place you've come to is the Emerald Coast. This is our town and I am laughing at you. With your aggressive and crappy attitude you will fall flat on your face. You will soon be back to flipping burgers.

Agressive and crappy attitude? I'm just responding with what I'm given. Lucky for me, not for you, I will never have to depend on you to survive. The tourists will rent my scooters. They will also show up with a joyous attitude. That joyous attitude will be returned with the same. Are you married? If so, I feel terrible for your spouse. As a matter of fact, I feel sorry for anyone that has to make daily contact with your sour self. Have a wonderful day.

I watch some clown in front of me on a scooter the other day on 98 and he kept looking down all the time, and as I passed him he was using a cell phone texting. Talk about multi-tasking. If he keeps that up, he won't make it.

It's hard enough to text when driving a car, not to mention a scooter! That will definitely be one of the rules in our contract!

Yes. Thanks for your response. I will only be open and requiring overhead until Labor Day. I just nailed down my lease today and the landlord agreed to a 4 month lease. I have other sources of year around income. Thanks for what I believe was a helpful response. Those are few and far between around here.

Good luck Scoot. You just PO'd many locals who might have been quiet, but now you have challenged them to run your business into the ground quickly... You asked for opinions of scooters on 30A and for some reason you thought you would only get a favorable response. Maybe you should have done a bit of research before investing. I am sure you will be successful in your venture because 30A unfortunately is currently drawing tourists who look for things like scooters instead of bikes. Unfortunately, you will not be very popular with locals. Yes, Miramar/Destin is the better choice for this type of business. We are not Destin or PCB.
Please remember that there are many locals and visitors that care about the quality of life here whether we are living here or visiting. Our passion isn't personal, it's realistic. We have something special here and it will go to hell in a handbasket quickly if we keep going with the same trends as our neighbors to the east and west.

Considering adding a few golf carts to the fleet. Do those settle well with the 30a locals? Trying to accomodate everyone.
