    side gig

    Hi guys being retired I am looking at a side business to at least pay for boat gas.

    I was reading through the AMSOIL ad on BBC about becoming a private dealer of their products.

    Has anyone ever done this program? Is it worth the small investment or?

    I retired in January and got a job as a driver for the local Subaru dealer. I work every other day, deliver parts, pick up cars, drop people off at home/work/store. It keeps me a bit occupied and puts a little cash in my pocket.
