Well, sometimes he did, (on a bicycle).
But mostly, his mother drove him around in a brand spanking new gold 1958 Chevy Impala coupe and he tossed the papers out the window in the direction of the driveways.
I had mixed feelings about that...

Better than Mom just coming to work and peddling girl scout cookies. Girl doesn't even do anything at all. For that, I just buy if I need to. Usually, not at all. OTOH, if some kid comes to my door, I feel he earned it even if Mom and Dad escorted him and drove him around. For that case, I buy it even if I don't need it.
