Night Danger Moose posted:As a (now former) Domino's driver, I think this is a little neat. It's nice not to put miles on my own car and having a warmer in the car can be handy. There are at least a handful of Domino's franchises that actually do provide the vehicle - but you give up getting any mileage or portion of the delivery fee (... like you get the whole fee anyway, I get $1.02 of the $2.50 at Pizza Hut, and make $5.70/hr while on delivery - just got a raise, whoop-de-doo). Personally, I'll gladly give up the mileage/trip money/whatever you call it in exchange for not driving my own car. It would easily cut my monthly expenses down by at least 25%. The interior of that rendered photo looks a lot like my car with the back seats folded down and the front passenger seat folded down (it folds completely flat, and can be moved far enough back that it almost touches the back seat). The "custom compartments" that hold napkins, sauces, etc are also known as "center console" and "glove box" in my car.

Back when I was in High School delivering pizza for Pizza Hut, gas was $1/gallon, and my Honda Civic was getting 30 mpg city. It was the best job ever, really. Driving my car, listening to lovely 90s house and euro techno music while sneaking pepperoni off of the occasional pizza.

Wait what Mine charges 3.50 delivery and we get none of it. And we get 4.50 on the road.

I think I'll never get used to you guys calling a sausage "pepperoni" (as opposed to the cool and good correct meaning, a kind of semi-hot pepper)

I delivered for Domino's in College and also drove a beater Honda Civic. This was right around the time gas really started to rise, so the franchise instituted a delivery charge of $0.50 Driver's got the whole thing and then some (I think it was $0.75/order taken - which sounds lovely until you realize you can run 2-3 at a time), in addition to tips and $7.00/hr. I cleared $12-16/hr in a lovely small town in Ohio. We only had one House Car, a 1992 Chevy Celebrity (or something to that effect) and it always reminded me of the "Producer Car" from Top Gear that the guys had to drive in if their challenge car broke down. It was a thing of shame for shameful people.

I used to work for a budget pizza chain in Australia in the early 2000's, and the company owned delivery car was a lovely kei car - an early 90's Daihatsu Mira. It had a beastly 30kw when it was new, and it was a junker that got smashed around by 17 year olds. Just terrible.

But lol at burst into flames. Obviously a heater issue (and the article calls into question aftermarket heater fans or resistor packs may be the cause). Surely you'd smell hot wiring and switch off a fan before a car busts into flames?

But how's the suspension? It needs to be able to quickly avoid the Noid without much bodyroll.

To be fair, it's a Spark. I don't think it has sufficient mass to experience any body roll. I imagine driving one is like low budget action films that speed up the take to make a chase scene look faster.

My mustang is best mustang because bat decals. Also I agree completely with iwentdoodie, anything that gets us closer to the deliverator is a good thing. Your pie in 30 minutes or less or you can have it free, shoot the driver, take his car, file a class action suit.

Frank Dillinger posted:By Opel, who is owned by GM. So it's Americas fault.  iwentdoodie posted:One step closer to the deliverator, so no complaints. The Deliverator belongs to an elite order, a hallow subcategory. He's got esprit up to here. Right now, he is preparing to carry out his third mission of the night. His uniform is black as activated charcoal, filtering the very light out of the air. A bullet will bounce off its arachnofiber weave like a wren hitting a patio door, but excess perspiration wafts through it like a breeze through a freshly napalmed forest. Where his body has bony extremities, the suit has sintered armorgel: feels like gritty jello, protects like a stack of telephone books. The Deliverator's car has enough potential energy packed into its batteries to fire a pound of bacon into the Asteroid Belt. Unlike a bimbo box or a Burb beater, the Deliverator's car unloads that power through gaping, gleaming, polished sphincters... You want to talk contact patches? Your car's tires have tiny contact patches, talk to the asphalt in four places the size of your tongue. The Deliverator is in touch with the road, starts like a bad day, stops on a peseta. As he scrunches to a stop, the electromechanical hatch on the flank of his car is already opening to reveal his empty pizza slots, the door clicking and folding back in on itself like the wing of a beetle. The slots are waiting. Waiting for hot pizza. DiggityDoink fucked around with this message at 10:43 on Oct 24, 2015 |
