Boston NEW flex drivers, wtf is wrong with you?

You live in one of the most expensive states in the country, yet people are still taking blocks for $21–$25 an hour and driving at least 100 miles per block.

Most of these cars are in decent shape too, some fairly brand new. If you actually do the math, you’re probably making closer to $12–$15 an hour after gas, wear and tear, mileage, maintenance, and your car getting absolutely destroyed.

McDonald’s entry-level jobs pay around $17 an hour now. So seriously, can someone help me figure out the economics here?

I hate bot users, but honestly, you guys are worse than them at this point.

About six months ago, I started noticing a whining noise. The car has about 97k miles on it now, and the dealer confirmed it’s coming from the transmission. Unfortunately, I was told I’m well past the powertrain warranty.

I signed up with CARCHEX thinking that if the transmission eventually fails, they might cover the repair. Has anyone had experience with CARCHEX handling transmission claims? Were they helpful, or did they try to deny coverage?
