For full features; Go to NEED A Daily Driver Bad
well... here's the situation
I have a job delivering pizzas at greco this summer, ill be making pretty
good money (shooting for $800+ each pay) but there is a problem with
that
my buick is a boat, and you have to use your own car for the job
another problem, the roads in my town are sickening, I mean think of the
worst pothole you've ever hit ... Im hitting it 5 times a second driving
around my town. (and buick's are suposed to "float over bumps" ive almost
lost interior peices from such hard crashes)
I need a car to drive for this job and also be a daily driver
im not hard to please, I dont care what it looks like, I dont really care
how fast it is, I just want something thats better on gas than the buick
and has room for four people and most importantly, it must be able to
handle pot holes and all kinds of unkept roads
and if the said vehicle is known to last a really long time. thats a plus
too
( in case anyone is wondering, Im planning on selling the buick and buying
the next vehicle with the money)
im thinking 4 cyl pickup trucks now but there could be better choices
feel free to ask any questions about my situation lol
thanks

lol you could always do what i do at ungodly hours of the night. go to ebay
and type in "car" then do the buy it now option and sort by "price: lowest
first" keeps me up for hours.

Well if its going to be your only car, I would into omething that performs
at least decently so you dont get tired of it.
As much as I hate to recommend it haha, maybe a honda. Something like a
prelude. It'd look good get good gas mileage and be pretty sporty, so you
get everything your looking for and more.

Maybe you didn't read this part...
But here's my thing...
Why replace your car for a summer job? A dumbass summer job. A stupid
f*ckin' dumbass TEMPORARY summer job. Was that the best job you could
find? Geez.... $800+ per pay period? You must get paid monthly, because
I doubt you'd bank that every 2 weeks delivering pizzas, and I know for
damn sure you ain't gettin' that every week. Are you depending on tips?
HAHAHAH!! You'll learn...or maybe you're delivering pizzas that call for
"extra anchovies"....hmmmm....
Get a car you like, not for a summer job.
What
well first of all, mostly to enthusiast. I am building a pontiac grand
prix as a project car, ill worry about fun to drive later on
and second of all, I will be getting 800+ each pay, (bi-weekly)
$7 an hour + at least 45 hrs a week + 3 dollars for each house I deliver to
+ 100% of tips in my pocket
45+45= 90 -- 90 x 7 = 630 dollars every two weeks just for working
there
+ 3 dollars per house + tips, lets say each person gives me a dollar tip,
(some will not tip at all, some will tip a lot) and I deliver to 50 houses
in a whole working day
3 x 50 = 150
150 + 50 (tips) 200
630 + 200 = 830 dollars every two weeks, assuming my average tip is one
dollar, and also assuming I dont work any overtime or break 45 hours per
week
the three dollars per house goes for gas (3 houses is 9 dollars, 9 dollars
is around 8 litres of gas, I bareley burn a fraction of that driving 3
places in my small town ) Ill get off work every day with a tank of gas
and a pocket full of change lol, besides the $630 going to my bank account
but I made this thread a few days ago, ive been talking to my dad and he
made me realize ill save money in the long run just keeping the car I drive
now ( in perfect shape ) instead of screwing around finding another car
and he has a point, although my car is boring to drive, it wouldnt be
worth my time to sell it and go looking for something else
so yeah, probably my longest post ever

snag an old honda or toyota...they last forever

Damn I always knew you Canadians were cheap but SHIT lol :laughing:

Is there tax in Canada?
What
I know a kid who delivered pizzas for a week or two. He quit because he
assumed people tipped well. It isn't just Canadiens who are cheap.
Personally I tip well, I'd rather give my money to somebody working for it
rather than a charity or homeless guy.

dollars
