Four Incredible Cars That You Can Be Paid To Drive

Driving is fun. Strap on the safety belt, rev the engine, and off you go. But then reality hits and the gas gauge is nearing empty, the insurance is due, and there’s a sound coming from the engine that can’t possibly be good. As fun as it is, regular driving can really cost you. If you love nothing more than the feeling of being behind the wheel, you should consider a career path which will both put you in a great car and pay you to drive it!

Race Cars

Drag racers, stock car racers, even dirt track racers at the track on Saturday night get to drive competitively at breakneck speeds. All those stickers covering race cars aren’t free—sponsors pay the race team to advertise their name on the side of the car so spectators see the product. The better the driver, the more the sponsors pay to have their name go around and around on that particular car.

Fire Truck

At some point, it’s every kid’s dream to get in the driver’s seat of a big, usually red fire truck and blare the sirens.  As a firefighter, you could get the opportunity to not only drive this amazing firefighting vehicle, but use it to help the public and save lives. With other motorists yielding to the siren and the ability to manipulate street lights, you couldn’t ask for a better driving experience.

Police Vehicles

Police patrol cars have all the bells, whistles, switches and goodies. The officer behind the wheel gets respect when cruising down the road. Even the slickest, fastest sports car will hit the brakes when they catch a glimpse of a squad car. Police vehicles are a special breed—with lower, tighter suspension and beefed-up engines, these brutes reach top speeds and can command just as much attention as fire trucks. If you think you can handle the rigors of police work, a recruiter with a UF degree in Criminology says there are several law enforcement positions which can put you behind the wheel.

The Google Car

Even the name gets a smile. The Google Street View cars are those that scour the countryside with swivel turrets on top to record every house, domicile, garage and deep dark corner of a neighborhood. The Maps Street View Car is a hard one to miss, with colorful stripes and a large, roof-mounted camera on top.

With a little planning and forethought, you don’t have to drive without being paid again. Delivery truck drivers get paid. Taxi cab drivers get paid. The open road is a money maker—are you ready to cash in?
