Jonathan began riding Vespas in 1983. Since then a wide variety of stylish transportation has taken him in a big full circle all the way back to riding Vespas in the San Francisco Bay Area. This time it is a veteran software developer's means of getting out of the city, with the wife to the beach (in shortest time), to and from the office downtown (in shortest time).

No? Me neither. I would just slap a bow on it and call it a day. But not these people. They wrap anything. Although they haven't wrapped a Vespa yet, they are in a gift wrapping contest with a Vespa as the top prize. The contest is known for it's unusually difficult items to wrap, and it would be no surprise if the Vespa prize was required wrapping to win.
Happy Thanksgiving and welcome to the Christmas season.

You left out the most important detail of the grand prize, the diamond-encrusted helmet. Let's all be honest, we have bikes and would enter for that pimp helmet. "The winner gets $10,000, a Vespa scooter and a diamond-encrusted helmet," according to B.C. Manion of the Tampa Tribune. That would be the perfect accessory for a rear view mirror covered Vespa.

I think the Vespa would be sufficient a prize!
