Our trunks would be perfect for keeping the pizzas warm; wouldn't even need those oven bags!

Yeah back home (mi) (before economy dump mind you) pizza delivery boys made bank! Mostly honda junkies, but decked out CRX. ITR's (traffic cone orange and a yellow JDM front end) Acura TL type s with a body kit LOL that was the best.
On average humans spend more time at work than anywhere else (disreguarding sleeping you're not awake doesn't count) If your job is to drive around all day long, why would you do it in a hoopty?
Also what do you spend your money on? I worked for officemax as Impress manager (trust me not big money) and I had a 2008 Ducati 1098. *shrugs* If you enjoy it why not? Having two cars would cost crazy money to insure both at a young age (pizza boy) so why not just have the one nice car??? Miles are just a number if you love your car.

I have a confession.

I deliver Chinese food friday, saturday, & sunday evenings in my RX8. I work an accounting job monday to friday and when the weekend comes I can't wait to rip around in the RX8 and listen to music and get paid cash for it. What recession? Haha

The RX8 is meant to be enjoyed so enjoy it and stop worrying about dings here & there and just drive it!

I delivered Chinese food over the summer. It pays quite nicely. A lot of costumers do skimp on the tip though because I'm usually well dressed and delivering food in a car too expensive for typical delivery boy. Over the summer, when gas was $4 a gallon, the tips didn't pay but it got me out of working at the front.

The Deliverator approves of an RX-8 used as a pizza delivery vehicle.

just watch out for those in ground pools.....

The only problem I can forsee is arriving there and finding all the topping has slid off to one side of the pie as you took the corner approaching the guys house at 40mph.

^^^I think that would be the way to do it if you knew you were going to work there for awhile. Either practice airbrushing or get some vinyl printed to emphisises the company LOL. Maybe you would get a raise LOL

That was my guess. That happened to me a couple of times when I was a GM at Pizza Hut. It sucked. I'm so glad I don't work there anymore.

Clearly a joke. There's a sly rs8club member trying to see if they caught the attention of other rx8clubb people. Only rx8club would realize the humor in it.

And, I'd do it in my RX-8. Proudly.

Bravo. Awesome post.

Start with an insult directed at everyone, regardless of their opinion about the topic. Then move to a heart tugging scenario that makes it impossible to disagree while potentially instilling at least a small pang of guilt. Then close by proving your worth as Champion of all that is honorable.

A tapestry of passive-aggressive brilliance. Well played!


Btw, do you still beat your wife?
