I’ll admit it, I’m an uber nerd.  I have no real reason to own one, but for some reason I want, nay NEED a Segway.  I’m trying to decide on a model.  Do I go with the sleeker and less expensive i2 or the bigger and badder X2?  

I have a bunch of hard choices and decisions ahead of me.  How do I justify the $7,000 price tag?  How do I properly show off my new nerdy toy?  How do I justify the $7,000 price tag?  Which model do I go with?  How do I justify the $7,000 price tag?  Can I ride it to work in the winter?  And finally, how in the world do I justify the $7,000 price tag?

I’m a technoholic.  I buy cool tech toys and play with them.  I blow tons of cash on items that I really shouldn’t.  It’s a horrible habit that I must get out of.  $7,000 is too steep, I just can’t bring myself to do it.  I really want to, but I can’t.  It would be super fun to shoot video on one of these, or use it to scoot around and grab interviews.  Still can’t justify the $7,000.

If a couple of us in the office got Segways then we could have nerd jousting matches, Segway sword fights and races.  That would be a TON of fun, however now we’re talking tens of thousands of dollars not just the $7,000 for my own.  I’m not sure I could convinse others to buy one.

If someone at Segway is reading this, throw me a bone here!  I’m a great beta tester and would be more than happy to give feedback and data on cool new toys that you guys have.  I just simply can’t afford the Segway at this time, but would buy one in a heartbeat if I could.

Maybe I should start a Segway fund?  There’s a Segway dealer about 30 minutes away from me, I think I should pay them a quick visit… As long as I leave all my credit cards and checking accounts at home!
