When I was 12 I had a newspaper route. I had to carry 65 papers on a bicycle every day through sun, wind, rain..... Other carriers would meet at a central "station" (my parents' house) to get their papers for adjacent routes.
My friend's dad had a green 260Z. On rainy days his dad would drive him around his route with the hatch up, sitting in the back, throwing plastic-baggied newspapers out the back onto his customer's driveways....seemed like a practical vehicle to me at the time.
