Driving for Uber

I'm thinking of driving for Uber a couple nights a week in my spare time. Anyone else here do it? Pros/cons? Would you recommend it?

Yes, I would do it if it was allowed in order cars. It would help me pay to fix up my insight.

Most cities are 2000 or newer (including all major cities in California). Phoenix, 2005. Philadelphia, 2007. New York, 2008.

Edit: has to be 4 doors, though.

Morale of story, not bad for extra cash. Decent read, though.
