Hey! Hey!
« on: May 15, 2009, 10:32:21 PM »
I have been a member of the BB for quite a while, but feel like a lot of people are feeling about it lately.  Been reading here for a few weeks and figured i'd join the crowd that likes to talk about good stuff, performance. 

Quick introduction:  I am a Restoration Engineer, 27 years old, married in Kalamazoo, MI.  Ordered my 2006 N/A in September of 2005 and received in Feb. 2006.  Looking to do more mods, and thanks to most your posts on this forum (and the other) i am learning more everyday.

Hopefully i can contribute to some of the discussion.

Thanks,

Matt

Hi Matt!  Nice to know you were married in Kalamazoo.  I wondered what people did there!   :D

Just thought I would say hi and welcome.  I can't say much more cos I'm new here myself.   :cool:

Hey, I need you!  I need some restoring as most of my body hurts.  Need one shoulder, one knee, hair, height, a low back transplant and ear hair removal.  Are you available?

Nice.  To actually answer, my firm is a structural engineering firm.  I am a project manager that specializes in the restoration of commercial buildings (walls, roofs, below-grade, etc..).

Thanks all.

I work doing Mechanical Engineering for a fight simulator company, sometimes when I tell people that I am an engineer I get the train question.

Indirectly I have worked on a few CAE projects over the years, They have bought a few trainers from us.  Last one that I did any design work on was a UH72.
