Can I pick your brain for a sec? Did you buy a new or resale GEM, and have you registered it as street legal? Any problems getting insurance? Did you consider a Par Car or a Tomberlin?
It was a resale GEM that we found here on the TOTV "Items For Sale" forum. We did register it (I think they have to be registered because they go faster than 20 mph) and got tags at the tax collector's office. We got our insurance through AAA, I think it was about 600+ for the year with full coverage.

We didn't consider other vehicles, we had read up on the GEM and when one became available we spontaneously bought it.
