I swear, I tried to register the username brodoyouevenlyft and someone took it!

Yeah, the money can be great but it depends on a lot of factors - when you Lyft, how often you Lyft, and where. I know a guy that does it 12 hours a day full time and makes $1400 a week. My top week was $700 something. It's very easy to clear $100 a night, especially on weekends. Gas rates are falling in LA - from like $4.09 to $3.73 a gallon, so it's been even more profitable but yeah gas eats up a good portion. It's also bumped up when I need an oil change and my tires changed, but so far the car is doing well.

If a passenger throws up in your car, Lyft will pay for it (I've been told). So far, no one has done any damage to my car.

You can see the ratings before you pick someone up and can reject someone under 3 stars but that's never happened to me. I have had two people hit on me, and one guy tried to sell me E, but so far I've never felt majorly threatened.

Yes I get hit on. You need to keep your ratings high so I stay nice and friendly and some people misinterpret that. I've been hit on a couple times. If you leave something in the car, the passenger can fill out a form and Lyft will text you with a description... and someone used that to ask for my phone number. I've been asked out for coffee. It's a bit annoying but I just tell people "I try to keep things professional".

I generally give people good reviews as long as they're nice, not too aggressive. The only person I've given a low rating to was this woman who kept moving in a very busy/trafficky part of town and made it difficult as hell to find her, then she got mad at me for not being prompt. If you're familiar with LA, it was like Franklin Ave in Hollywood, what a mess.
