What's arguably the best way to spend your summer vacation? I'd say riding down the street on a used scooter and today's teen crowd is focused on the popular Italian designed Vespa Scooter. Furthermore, if you are looking for a good summer time project to work on with you and your kids, restoration of Vespa scooters is a huge hobby. It's easy to get parts and accessories you need to fully restore almost any Vespa.

Depending on your budget it's possible to even get some Vespa's for as low as $600. This entry price into scooter world makes it an attractive hobby for teenagers looking to get their first wheels, or save money in the summer time.

To many of my readers you are familiar with my obsession with eBay and likewise for it's tool eBay Pulse.  What's so interesting about eBay pulse is that it tells exactly what people are searching for the most and today it looks like the 2007 Ford Mustang is at the top of the list, again.  Not that I blame them, after all with 2008 and 2009's on the way, the price of the 2007 Ford Mustang is dropping in price, big time!

Right now on eBay there are over 125 used 2007 Ford Mustangs, in GT, V6, and specialty trim.  A quick scan of the prices and a buyer could easily find a well equipped Mustang for just over $10,000.  Blame the gas prices if you will, but if I'm gonna pay $4 per gallon, I want to enjoy that gallon!

Have you heard that Nissan is planning on beefing up their latest 350Z car?  If not then you need to jump on the Nissan rumor train, because the next evolution of the 350Z will be the 370Z.  The follow up to the 350Z is rumored to be lighter, nimbler, and more powerful to offer a more sporty over all experience.

Thanks to the boys over at Motor Trend it looks like we have found our first spy shot of the 370Z.

Just because you may have a little age on a vehicle doesn't mean that it's immune to recalls.  It's important to keep up with what's being recalled, because just the other day GMC recalled GMC Jimmy's from 2000-2001.  Nothing terrible, but the multifunction switch installed in the 2000-2001 Jimmy could cause a problem with the stop lamps and rear hazard lights.

Easy fix though, once the Jimmy is taken into the dealers they will simply reinstall a new switch.  Of course this fix will be done free of charge.  Repairs on this recall will begin on June 17, 2008.

Porsche announced that they will start production on their highly anticipated Panamera next April.  The super sleek and sexy Porsche Panamera, packed with 405hp for the standard v8 and 520hp with forced induction, should be available come 2009.  However, those looking for the less expensive and more wussyfied V6 version will have to wait until 2010 and 2011 for the tree hugger version of the Panamera.

The 4-Door monster Panamera looks to weigh in about 4,000lbs but will be a great option for those not wanting an ugly Cayenne.  Thanks to the AutoBlog.com for the great picture of this upcoming 4 door super car, the Porsche Panamera.

Can you imagine how fast you could get your groceries with this bad boy?

A long standing staple in the Audi lineup is the Audi A3 hatchback.  Since 2003 it's remained relatively unchanged, but soon a new version will be completely remodeled for the 2010 model year.  Until then it would seem that Audi is happy simply revamping what already works in the remaining years of the A3 lifespan.

Essentially you will just be looking at some trim upgrades and other minor cosmetic changes.  But for £22,295 you still get a pretty nice 2.0l quattro engine and sweet hatch.  Also, if you are looking for a green auto, it should make you feel fuzzy inside to know that the 08 Audi A3 has lower CO2 emissions than previous years, go trees!

The all new Suzuki XL7 Limited is getting rave reviews around the net for it's functionality and what you get for your money.  A base line Limited model XL7 can be had for just over $27,000, which is a bargain for how much vehicle you actually get.  It's roomy and the potent V6 boasts being able to tow a fairly heavy payload.

The only downer is that the transmission doesn't jive too well with the engine.  This means that those looking for a Green crossover, should probably look elsewhere, since gas mileage will suffer.

In another edition of our customizing posts, I decided to discuss a popular customizing tool (I was never into), the LED interior light kit. These kits add quite a bit of flair to the inside of a show car in just the right place, because these LED lights stay cool, produce a lot of light, and are small enough to install almost anywhere. These interior LED light kits are taking over the car shows and many successful customizers have been using them for some time.

Another thing that makes these LED Light Kits so popular with the kid's is that they are very inexpensive and allow for a BIG customized look. Furthermore it's possible to get interior LED Light Kits for almost any color to match any customization job you are trying to do.

Who else is looking forward to the slightly redesigned 09 Ford Mustang?  But almost just as important is the look of the new 45th Anniversary badge all the 09 Mustangs will be sporting.  (Only the special editions will be absent this cool new mark of honor and prestige.)

I have to say, the new 45th Anniversary badge is absolutely bad ass and finally goes back to the horseshoe theme!

Holy Christ!  The all new 2009 Chevy Corvette is sporting some serious horsepower and other performance upgrades that makes my pants tighter.  According to Chevrolet the all new 09 ZR-1 comes with a super charged 6.2l V8 with 638hp and top speeds of 205 mph.

Expect nothing but down to business speed and performance with this special edition 09 Corvette, the ZR-1 comes with some extra goodies.  For starters you can expect to see a carbon fiber hood, which puts the 2009 Corvette in the same class of some super cars at a price tag of $100,000.

Despite it's price, Chevy expects to sell 2,000 09 Corvettes the first year it reaches the show room floor.  Hell, I'd be in line right now if it weren't for the existing holes in my pockets.
