I have played the Amex My Wish game and there are people out there who have rooms full of computers bombarding the site. That's what I figure. A friend has "won" two things but they were rather undesirable things like vases and plush toys. I clicked madly at 3:00 EST for the plasma and nada. I even clicked two minutes early and the message was that the server was too busy.

As for the Vespa, I agree that the guy must be banking on winning one and then ripping Juan for a Benji. My take on scooters? They are dangerous. They're fine to ride around your neighborhood but on the streets and for commuting it's downright deadly. Too small to see and not enough power to get you out of trouble. Sometimes twisting your wrist is safer than grabbing the brake.
