I pay for my car habits by desigining cars and trucks at DaimlerChrysler.

So its cars basically from when I get up to when I go to bed.

Sometimes I get sick of cars, but only after a bad day, but how bad can a day be of drawing cars?

Yes we still draw with pencils and make clay models by hand.

Stole (I wouldn't call it working) from my parents business to purchase and support my first 914. Grew up to become the controller for a manfacturing company. If they only knew those invoices for auto parts weren't for the forklifts. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) If I can just figure out how to classify a new paint job as a business expense......... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

Electro-mechanical engineer for a semi-conductor captial equiptment manufacturer.

We do thin film measurement (metrology) for semiconductor films using Ultra-sonic laser sonar.
I install and support the equiptment at the customer sites.

I spend A LOT!!! of time in Taiwan, Japan, and Korea (IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif)
That's why when I'm in the country I lock myself in the garage and spend as much time as possible with the teener (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

Sounds like we work in the same field, perhaps same company.

I'm a Production Electrical Engineer for a company that manufactures lithography machines for the semiconductor industry. We have fabs all over including Intel, IBM, Micron, etc... First job out of college was a production manager at a pressure sensor manufacturer. They made high precision/miniature sensors for Formula 1.

On the side i'm a computer consultant. Someday I hope to build my empire with a combination of stock market / real estate.

Yarin,

Who was it you worked for that made sensors for Fomula 1? It wasn't Airpax/Phillips Electronics/VDO/Siemens, was it. I know they made sensors for Tyrell back in the late '80s.

You do any autocross? I don't meet too many 914 drivers around here.
