How does one get a job like that?

I knew 2 people back in the day and one only did it as a part time gig. This dude got to drive the Bentley GT before it was introduced to the general public, and his day job is a teacher. And the other guy I knew was a test driver for Honda. I mean his job was just literally drive Honda cars and competitor cars all day long and got paid like $50k right out of college. He got to drive the Lexus IS300 and it wasnt even out on the market.

Anyone know?
