Propulsion engineer, airbreathing - not rockets, aviation/aerospace industry, everything from cruise missles to supersonic fighters (F22 was my job for 10 years), to submarine hunters, UAV spy plane drones, and commercial transport. I work in the "research and technology" branch of the business, which gives me access to military and commercial projects. It's been very hard work and stressful for 20 years to succeed in such a highly competetive industry - for example all my coworkers have PhD's, we don't even interview people anymore unless they have been an intern and have a PhD, but it's paying off big time now that I am 40 something and I'm in a position of leadership, which is a lot easier than actually doing all the work!

We meet again window wash man!:driving:

+1 for being a leader, not a worker!:happydance:

Ironically the 280ZX is 400 lbs lighter than the 370Z and smaller :) It was also fastest non-exotic sports car at the time.

Well stimulation

Stimulating your GF wells since 2001!! J/P

But 500 lb heavier than the 240Z, and the steering was far more ponderous (as I remember, from 40 year ago). The 370Z reminds me of the 240Z, not the 280Z.

Mr MacCool (doubtful it's his real name) is right on.

I currently have, and drive, a 240z (71) and a 370z (2010). There is about a +/- 900 pound or so difference between them. I love them both, but the 240 definitely has better steering feel, by far. I detest power steering because you lose too much of the road feel (IMO).

Lol, don't think that's going to change anytime soon. haha~

Electronic systems designer and energy management consulant. And I need Z relief as much as I can get! Other than the winter weather, The area is great for a sports car. Uncongested highways that allow the car to really run.

Im a BMW Level 1 (aka Master) Technician. I work at a dealer in miami and repair/service any and every BMW that they sell obviously and some Mini's too. Strangely enough I prefer my 370 to most of what we offer that would compete with it, I like the looks better, and my wife drives a Mini Cooper S which is a fun car.

I'm an IT Director for a Local Government 911 organization. From networking, to information security, to web development, to 3-piece suits and expensive lunches. That's how I roll. Great job, but way too many hours!

In my free time, I'm a porn star.

Former Service and Parts Director at a Chevrolet Dealership, recently promoted to Parts Department Manager at a much larger Dealership within the same company.

I'm a general dentist who bought a 40th Anniversary Z for sentimental reasons. I go way back to the late 70's where I remember riding my bike several times with friends to Datsun dealerships drooling over 5-speed 280Zs on the lot. So 1983 I got 280ZX and in '92 got a 300ZX. All were coupes without the T-roof. Then at the '09 LA Auto Show I saw the 370Z on display and feel in love with the Z all over again as it reminded me of the original 240-280Zs. I do think the '90-'96 Zs were the best looking of all the generations, then perhaps the first generation, then this latest generation. Now I daily drive it to the office. Nissan did a superb job with the 370Z styling wise. I just wish they gave more attention to the clutch which has to be one of the worse feeling clutches of all the manual tranny cars I've owned, and I've owned many!

Very cool. :tup:

Pharmacist, CVS/Pharmacy

Sales Director @ an automotive aftermarket parts manufacturer.

He cut n paste it from an army webpage for MOS. Lol. Fuckin tool.

^ lol.

ohh, your an O! :barf:


Im a surgeon as well, only my patients are metal, and weigh upwards of 300,000lbs.
I make Nuclear bombers fly.. *flex*

AMart, I worked at CVS for about a year then couldnt handle all the corporate BS. PCQ calls, CSI, New RX pickup blah blah. And flu shots during busy hours with one pharmacist! I dont know how you do it lol

I was in the Navy as a Aviation Electronics Technician on the SH-60B... did that for a while...

Got medically retired and am now going to school full time...

Im going for IT but im pretty over trouble shooting, so we will see where that goes... looking to get out of trouble shooting and start dealing with people... who knows!

Life... what a journey.

Working retail at a Verizon Wireless Corporate.

Also finishing up my BS Degree in Finance.

Most degrees in Finance are BS..... :P

:icon18::icon18::icon18::icon18:

I have degrees in Finance and Accounting... in Finance they teach you how to lose all the shareholders' money. In accounting they teach you how to cover it up. :bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

With that said, I am the director of trading operations and investment analysis/research at a financial services firm. Contrary to popular belief, I was not responsible for the flash crash. :icon17:

Accounting was terrible. I wasn't too bad at it but just HATED the material and class. FineAnts was alright, I enjoyed it more than acct.
IT was my forte :tup:

I started out the other way -- I was really interested in Accounting and my faculty advisor got me to look at doing the double w/ FineAnts and I did it. Turns out I liked that more and got really involved with all the programs at school and here I am. For some reason employers like the Accounting degree ontop of Finance... probably because they think they will save money because instead of hiring a separate person to cover up for your fraud, you can do it yourself. :bowrofl:

Though I swear when I finally buy an expensive car the plates are going to read "CR CASH" :bowrofl:

:icon18:
You are setting yourself up for "CEO" with that degree combo though.
I think then the plates will read M4LAMBO :tup:

As long as I continue to lose money I think I'm in good shape to move up to a corporate leadership role. Though I might start looking at porn at work... then I'd have an "in" for an SEC gig. :tup:

Hey I hear New York needs a new congressmen. Idk if your a 'crat but I hear sexting is part of the perks!

I can pitch a tent on demand... I'd say that means I'm qualified! :tup:

Very well said. I have a degree in Computer Information Systems with Business Admin. I enjoyed both Finance & Accounting though finance was/still is higher up in my preference list. I was always amazed at how easy the accounting rules made it to distort the numbers whichever way one needed it to be for disclosure purposes. I used to work for one of the largest asset manager firm in the world interacting on a close basis with traders, research analysts & investment bankers (Many of whom not all had egos the size of Texas :bowrofl:). I personally thought that many needed to go back to school to rehash basic finance principles though coming from Ivy League schools. I ended up being right when the company was forced to disclose a $2,000,000,000 loss due to some poor bets in the midst of the crisis.

Some of the stuffs, I found from those guys's workstations hosted on the enterprise storage and backup replicated devices. They would even hide it under several nested folders and name it Mikey Mouse for instance thinking they were too smooth... It was unbelievable :p
