Dont get a gun pulled on you. I have a friend who got robbed as a Domino's driver. Another guy was shot and killed about 20 minutes from my house for his money delivering a pizza

Well, i'd be more p.o'd my s would smell like domino's forever.

That really sucks, but this is a better story then i hear more frequently.
Most people i hear don't bother with any job that doesn't pay anything near what they use to earn. Then bum of unemployment, family, friends, etc.. Without considering a more available jobs that are quite plentiful.

Your brave to deliver in the S

I deliver pies in my S as well. Old ladies love it and ask for rides, young guys are salty because the car I deliver pizzas in is nicer than the one they take to the club.

its a job and the s2k is fun to drive and now you drive it during work and get paid, i dont think it gets any better. i would save up for a few months delivering with the s and then get a beater because in the long run not saying a few months but later down the road it will prob cause something to the car

You are buying a motorcycle, and you had no job? Did you marry rich?

I wouldnt put the miles on my s2k, I know that.

Isn't this the perfect verhicle for deliveries? I mean... cruise around all the time to here or there... the only problem is... 45 min or free = no scenic routes

I would love to drive my s delivering pizzas... but would be concerned about the permanent pizza smell that may get left behind

I have a few grand in my lifesavings and thought I could use the S as my delivery vehicle and use the bike for everything else; however, now I'm looking into getting a beater so my CR won't have as many miles on it.
I'm not too sure what I want to do exactly. I really want to own a bike because I live with the philosophical thought, "You only live once," but I do have plenty of responsibilities now, including raising a daughter.
My fiance also has a better paying job, which is the reason why purchasing a bike doesn't seem like a financial hardship.

Oh, that was just a stupid thought I had from over a year ago. Just because I could afford monthly payments on a used 360 Modena doesn't mean I could actually afford driving the car. Plus, my brother and I were going to share the vehicle, which is why we ended up deciding against it.

The more realistic purchase I almost made was a used Lotus Elise for ~$25k. I decided not to go through with it, lost my job a couple of weeks afterward, and now I'm glad I didn't pull the trigger.
