hulk xr6t Member 160 Member For: 17y 6m 18d Posted 23/04/08 04:29 AM Share Posted 23/04/08 04:29 AM Hi,What if we all agreed to hire out our T's for a set price.. Put together a gallery of our T's and FPV's and location (capital city) and then offer them out for weddings formals... etc etc.Let the person choose which T's they want in their ensemble of hire cars and we can all agree on a set price.. Just try make them available on the weekends, drive them yourself or ask a mate to drive it if your too busy. Of course all the T's listed must be in immaculate order..Whichever T they like we use, go for a cruise and get paid...What are the advantages and pitfalls for such an idea...Do some marketing.... maybe all contribute a couple of bucks and let the customer choose the T's they want...The going rate for a wedding car these days is not cheap. If we pooled our resources, we would just about have every colour and model covered many times over...

Guest Guests Posted 23/04/08 04:33 AM Share Posted 23/04/08 04:33 AM Fark you were getting me excited about selling my body as oppossed to giving it away for free.ScottySounds like a good idea but what about insurance? That's probably a big factor in the high pricing of wedding cars so it probably wouldn't be such a great money maker?

Guest Guests Posted 23/04/08 05:24 AM Share Posted 23/04/08 05:24 AM I'm guessing that it'd have to be some sort of business insurace similar to a taxi but I'm not sure... Just throwing it out there. Like I said, it's a great idea but it'd be very difficult to set up Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44791-why-dont-we-sell-our-bodies/#findComment-664058 Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are still paying their normal insurance just as long as they are still the drivers (depends on your insurer).Nah taxi insurance if different and costs about 4k. I think its a great idea ...

Guest Guests Posted 23/04/08 05:49 AM Share Posted 23/04/08 05:49 AM The thing is though, would your normal insurance cover your passengers if they had hired you to drive them? I don't think they would, hence why I think something similar to taxi insurance is required Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/44791-why-dont-we-sell-our-bodies/#findComment-664079 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention the $500-$1000 in your pocket..Also if the tax man wants to talk about it, ill buy 22 inch rims, spend $15k on the motor and claim them as a tax deduction as its a capital improvement for my money maker XR6T...Actually its not a bad idea as you could do up you T, claim all the costs to do it up and then dont take on any jobs and say there is no work out there so no income, so the tax man will owe you...
