> Most people do not go out and purchase a vehicle just to become a Lyft drivers.

But that's a likely direction.

And if you're trying to make much money from Lyft, you're probably driving it much more for Lyft than for yourself already.



Still counts. As long as you would have bought the vehicle for your own use anyway, it's a sunk cost. Whether or not it's profitable to rent it out via Lyft depends solely on the incremental costs of the extra driving -- not how much extra driving you do. And if it is profitable, then driving more is more profitable, not less.
