You won't own the cars. The cost alone would be prohibitive, but operation and maintenance is far better done by an organization rather than an individual.

And there's almost no way a modern (feudalistic) car company will allow you to use your car this way to earn money.

The corporate masters are already not so keen on paying you when you are actually driving the thing. Do you really think they'll let you in on the racket?
