But other than that I have seen every car on display in DTP just by cruising about in Richmond, thank you very much for collecting them together and get someone to sing a cover for "fuck you".

Now it's taking you an extra hour and you are late to pick the next guy up. It will be next to impossible to have 4 clients in day.

Mr. S63 should name his company S63 For Show. 
-still won't feel like a baller next to UBC students who drive their exotics even with a chauffeur in a S63.

i am sure that can cover insurance and gas.

$600/day
6hrs to pay a driver, average driver makes around $25/hr. Thats $150 paid to driver leaving you with $450.
Fuel for a S63 driven for 6 hours a day. Averaging 16mpg.
Lets say they average a 60mph speed for that 6 hours of driving (using this as calculating for stop and go traffic, idling etc is a PITA) . That's around 23 gallons. The tank size is 23.8gallon. So basically a full tank of fuel for 6 hours of driving. This car hols around 90 liters of fuel at 132.9 (current price of premium fuel in van as of now)
Thats $120 in fuel for the drive.
We are down to $330.
Now factor in the wear and tear on the vehicle. The increasing cost of maintenance from being driven this often. The oil change alone is around $250 and doing that every months or so will add up. As well as all the other items that will see increased wear.
Lets call is $30/day wear and tear.
Were at $300 now.
The insurance cost to operate a vehicle like this one as a taxi is rather high. It will cost per day, around $120 to operate the car insured for this kind of driving.
$180 we are now at.
This is before you take into account that each client will have snacks/drinks available. Lets call it $10 per client used.
$170
Oh, and then you can take your tax off of this as well seeing as it will be a business that you are running. Web hosting costs to have a site, merchant services costs, possible cost of a person to handle bookings for clients, scheduling maintenance, the electricity to run the computers, lights, equipment, safe storage of the vehicles. The simple overhead costs alone will eat up the $170 or enough of it to kill any sign of profitability.
So even if the cars are run every day for many hours in that day the cost of overhead+operations+tax+etc will outweigh the profit at a $200 base price to rent this car.

Don't forget depreciation on the vehicle. $67,000 S63 loses value rather quickly as mileage increases.

Kev | No question there. It looses even more when insured for its intended use. When declared as a taxi you can bet that people are not going to pay top dollar for it anymore.
Just the know costs will kill profit. The unknown/unexpected costs will drive it under....at those prices anyway.

Am I allowed to have Coitus while being driven?
Do you answer for service at random times on a Friday or Saturday night?
Pros:
- Cheaper than a hotel
- She still doesn't know where I live
- She has no excuse to not leave after I'm done.
Cons:
- Audience.
