It's a little sad that we need to actually say this, but:

Don't be an asshole or you will be permanently banned.

Respectful debate is totally OK, criticizing a product is fine, but being verbally abusive will not be tolerated.

Focus on discussing the idea, not attacking the person.

Even though my car was fully paid off, maintaining it was no longer worth the expense.

As a reminder, different states have varying levels of regulation for mopeds. For example, California does require an M1 or M2 license, but doesn't require insurance. And the "registration" is one-time only, to obtain a plate. Mopeds can use both through-lanes and bike lanes, and are permissible up to 30 mph (48 kph). Electric mopeds don't even need the pedals that gas mopeds would require.
