A. Well Normano, Vince really is my name. I'm not a computer or any other kind of machine. I'm a real, live person. Funny thing is I used to have a son with the same name too.

I'm only 49 so I still have a few good years in me yet. I go to work every day and do my job. And If I can still do it when I'm 95, I will. They will have to pry the my wrench from my cold, dead hands.

You might try marketing your experience as a professional witness. Many lawyers need experts in a particular field so they will hire a Professional to testify in court. I am involved in just such a case right now. I was hired for my experience as an Automobile Mechanic. You can prepare something and send it to lawyers who specialize in cases involving motor vehicles.

Teaching is also a good thing for someone like you who is retired. You wealth of knowledge and experience would be extremely helpful in landing a teaching position in a High School or trade school. All you need to do is apply for a teaching certificate and you're in.

Outside of that nothing comes to mind. When my Uncle retired from being a mechanic, he went into Locksmithsmithing with his son in law. He also took up woodworking as a hobby and kept himself busy.

And yes, I have put back together my share of cars that someone got halfway through and found out the couldn't handle it.
