    Have you not seen his posts? If having a job was based on posting on S2, this guy would be in the front of the unemployment line! #BAM

    Thats exactly what they said......She is old, but very well maintained. Didn’t fall in Uber’s peramiters though. I understand. Not too many people want to drive around in an almost 16 year old car. My opinion, I’d rather roll in a 2003 Audi A6 4.2L, than a brand new Kia.

    There are a lot of kids who need and want tutoring. My experience has been with college kids but you should try it wherever you've got experience. All I ever had to do was answer kids who posted 3X5 cards on a cork bulletin board.

    Those guys don't know shit about anything. I often have to talk to their supervisor. One time a supervisor overrode his employee's rejection of my request on the simple request by me to speak to the supervisor. I had him dead to rights and I'm telling you these guys are worse than useless.

    I totally agree with this. It is incredibly rewarding.

    No, I know they have age limits.

    The last taxi I rode in was a couple year old Charger but it had to have 300 thousand miles on it. Felt like it anyway. That car wandered all over the freeway to my house. I was genuinely concerned for my safety at the time.

    I'd rather ride in your Audi than a poorly maintained taxi. When I ubered in San Diego I rode with a local kid in his nice new little Lexus hybrid. Perfect ride. Took me right to where I was heading and had a good chat.

    I’m sure there is a huge market out there for an older German car in good shape that costs a ton if anything goes wrong with it.....HA!

    There are companies that are technically service driven that do have decent customer service representatives. As they are the first line of communication they are trained.

    We have an ADU that is being rented already. Tutor might be the way to go.

    Gonna price it like that Ipad or whatever that was you wanted to sell?

    Quick google search shows those cars started around the mid 30s way back then.

    I'd say you should price it at about 29,000 and leave a teensy bit of room to haggle.

    SLEP teaching...get a second language teaching certificate and teach English from home. Buy some syllabus programs series like Side by Side and set up a classroom.

    Aren’t you the one who likes those little Japanese race cars with neon underneath?
