I too delivered Chinese food in my s2k for my friends restaurant when he was sort on workers. Funny thing is sometimes he would have to do the deliveries himself in his Lexus LS460, the comments & looks he gets are priceless. Usually ends with my buddy saying "I'm actually the boss, we're just short on drivers today"

just to address the space issue...

if you remove everything from your trunk, including carpeting and barriers/walls/spare, etc., you actually have a huge trunk. i've put the entire contents of a 100% full costco cart in my car, and that is with stuff even under the cart, and piled up high.

if you still need more space, you can remove the passenger seat. it's only held on by 4 bolts. very easy. then you got all the space in the world.

You guys are scaring me, I just got a job at Pizza Hut as a dilevery boy and I don't feel like getting stabbed or robbed >_>. Although I live in Canada and my town is full of old people.

I've delivered food before, Mom used to own a chinese restaurant so I'd help out when it was busy. Although I've taken trips in the s2k, I would certainly NOT recommend it. I usually took the delivery car [1996 Nissan Sentra SE.....definition on Ballin']

Reasons why you shouldn't deliver in the S:
1) ALOT of wear and tear on the car - Delivery jobs are usually stop and go, pretty hard on the engine and brakes

2) You'll never get the smell out - even if you don't spil anything, you'll never get that smell of pizza [or whatever] out or your car.

3) Parking in sketchy situations - I've had to rush some deliveries and have definitely parked the Sentra in situations where I'd never leave the s2k

4) Getting in and out - Alot harder in the s2k

5) Space - uhhhh where you gonna put 10 boxes of pizza?

Your chances of actually getting robbed are very small. I worked as a pizza delivery guy for a few years when I was younger and managed a few different pizza restaurants as well and neither myself or any of my employees were ever robbed in the 6+ years I was in the business.
