Mechanical engineer .. a gear head though. I originally went into
engineering so that I could get into racing and/or auto manufacturing ...
turns out it's mostly full of poitics and crap. I have a few friends that
went to work for Honda and I think one went to DC, they're stuck designing
rear view mirrors or something stupid like that! What I need is a little
race shop. That's where it's at.

And trust me ... I've skinned my share of knuckles cursing at engineers!
