So, what I thought would be a fun thing to do for mad money in retirement turned out to be a dud. But the self-driving cars are coming hard and fast. I cannot wait until it is illegal to drive your own car. That will eliminate the jerk-off drivers issue completely.
My two cents. Which is more than you make driving for Uber in this state full of non-tippers.

Interesting, maybe that is why it is sometimes harder to get an UBER in the Villages than in other parts of the world.
