What'd they make you design an adjustable front sway bar during the interview?

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-02-23, 08:54 PM

No, bushing design for the rear IRS... among other things :shock:

AtomicLabMonkey · 2004-03-02, 06:50 PM

OH NOS!!!11! I GETTING A N3W JOB OFF3R?!?!

I talked with the owner tonight and he was finishing up an offer letter to send over.

*fingers crossed* that he'll offer enough scrill for us to live on down there.

MattR · 2004-03-02, 07:39 PM

Sweet man! Congrats.

For those who are wondering what the hell we've been talking about in this thread, I just got a job offer as lead engineer for a fairly well known Mustang suspension/performance products company. I don't know if I want to go blabbing their name all over the internet, but like the thread title said they're located in San Luis... so you can figure out the rest. :wink: The job won't pay all that much money compared to what I'm making now, but I think I'm going to take it anyway. The fact that I'll be getting paid to do my hobby everyday should make up for the money factor.

SOOOO cool, congrats yo!!!

Nick Koan · 2004-03-02, 10:48 PM

Congrats man. Always good to do what you love for a living.

STIwish · 2004-03-02, 10:54 PM

I hear MM is teh shiznit when it comes to Mustang suspension... but thats so cool.

sperry · 2004-03-03, 09:35 AM

Congrats man!! Go and get a bunch of experience so we can start our race team in a few years.

Hopefully you'll be able to find a decent place in the area for under $400k... you'll prolly have to look in AG or one of the other 5 cities.... SLO's way too expensive. Hey, maybe Laura can find a job teaching at Poly... they overpay their instructors, right?

We're gonna look for another rental, I don't think we can afford to buy anything right now. Maybe we'll come across a cheap repo'd house we can buy somewhere down the road.
