Chemical/Biological Engineer by training.
Doing Protein Engineering at Los Alamos National Lab

 

IT Director - Degreed in Mathematics/Computer Science, minor in Mechanical Engineering. I'm drawn to the uniqueness and elegant simplicity of the rotary like a moth to a flame.

 

I'm a journalist.

It's the contrarian in me that likes the rotary.

 

Been driving an RX-7 and RX-8 for 21 years. !985 RX-7 GSL-SE and a 2004 RX-8.

 

Just a Cabinet Engineer! They are just boxes....Right!

 

You have a really cool job!!!!

According to those career aptitude tests they give in high school I was best suited to go into that field.

 

BS Engineering Management '85

 

Meteorologist (AS) in a past life, now network engineer / sysadmin with heavy unix/linux tendencies. Will do windows but won't admit to that in public (other than in this thread )

 

According to the ASVAB in high school I was best suited to target ICBMs while sitting in a silo. I wonder what that says about me...

 

Couldn't have described my situation better. I'm a mechanical engineer and have always had an appreciation/amazment for the rotary engine. When I found out I could actually own one and it was packaged in a sweet-looking, 4-door sports car...I couldn't refuse!

 

Hmmm.

I actually took six different ones (different type) besides the one you mentioned and also the one you mentioned twice. They all put me in aviation-related work. Air traffic controller, propulsion engineer, pilot, aerospace engineer, avionics, et cetera. They basically all put me on the engineering side of it and I couldn't figure out why I was also deemed suited for that work, particularly since I don't care for math much. I can do it and do it well, it just isn't super easy for me, which means I don't care for it as much. It requires more time than other things do.

I was actually considering it, but the money wasn't there for college to go into that or my preferred career of medicine to become a surgeon.

 

Electrical Engineer - Advance Control Systems

 

i'm definitely not an engineer, so maybe my nerdiness drew me to the rx-8. im a toy designer! I have neglected my left brain for so long! but art (...design...?) has always been my passion. the aesthetics of the rx-8 are what made me love it, but the uniqueness of the rotary and rarity on the roads are awesome too.

 

Mechanical engineer doing RF testing (satellite radio).

Perhaps the best word for the attraction for me is "elegant". Apple's old marketing slogan "Think Different" seems to apply to much of what I do and like, including the RX-8.

 

I'm horrible at math. If I had any inclination towards it, I would have been a mechanical engineer.

Majored in English in college...this would is my third rotary.

 

BS Comp Sci
MA Software Engineer

It's a hot car, what can I say. My friends like to call it "alien technology"

 

Structural Engineer BSCE P.E., S.E. (computer analysis of high rise buildings for seismic and wind), but these days I run the IT department at my firm.

 

Ugh...just read the article. They called my car a MAC. Those BASTARDS.

 

I have a degree in Mechanical Engineering and Engineering Mechanics. I have about 30 years of experience and I am presently working in the aerospace area. This is my second RX. I previously owned a 1980 RX7 that I traded in 1984.

 

I assume you're unemployed?

 

Soooo....
Most of us have O.C.D.
This explains why we have accepted the RX-8 challenge.
Does an Ophthalmologist with a Minor in micro-management count?
Perhaps I'm a micro-Engineer...

 

I'm unemployed??? Then followed by laughter...that's pretty strange. I wasn't aware I had to give my qualifications or information about me not pertaining to the subject. Or that I had to write perfect posts every time.

You would assume wrong. Throughout college, I was a speech and pr writer for a few fortune 500's. I now work in Accounting and Finanace for a railroad and have never been unemployed...thanks for playing.

 

No need to get your panties in a bunch.
Look again, it's laughter at your post, followed by the statement about being unemployed, not the other way around (big difference). I actually thought you were trying to be funny, but I guess not. I thought it hilarious that you said you were an English major and then followed that with a sentence that is grammatically incorrect.

 

^^

I think he's giving you crap because of the above... re-read the last line carefully, mr. English Major.

That one's worthy of a Prarie Home Companion skit, methinks.

 

Actually, I did look again. Was pissed off about something here at work and didn't stop to think.

No big deal...and yeah, it is pretty funny how I wrote it.
