I would really like to drive for a living and get paid for it. Any of these courier gigs pay north of $75k a year. (no drug running jokes!) Maybe something specialized like medical courier?

Highly unlikely. I made more money as a pizza delivery driver than I did as a courier for a legal services company (tips rock). That being said, I'm damn glad I went back to uni for another two degrees - couldn't have afforded the FR-S otherwise.

3 miles one way to the office.

You should walk to work

16k miles 2.1 years, with this one.
2.8k miles on the 2 months of the first one.

Courier jobs don't, but sales jobs do. Our sales people drive as much or more than I do and make significantly more than that. I knew a guy who sold medical equipment throughout a territory covering several states. He pulled in about $125K per year, and some of the guys he worked with were making twice that.

I considered buying one at the dealership I work at but it had 34,700 miles on it after the first owner only had it for a little under a year. Way too many miles for that short of ownership. I decided to lease instead.

You can make a fortune selling medical equipment and pharmaceuticals. I know of someone with a drug company who just bought a new Ferrari 458. Stupid money I tell ya....

I put about 30K / year on my vehicles. Given the crappy winter last year, the FRS only saw about 27K and the jeep got the rest.

I haven't had any real problems. I'm getting the windows worked on today (the squealing noise) but other than that and foggy tails, no biggie.

Had mine for 18 months and have just turned 14,000 km.

At this rate, it will out live me.

I'll hit 75K miles sometime next week.
