sfpar Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Wow. There are truly all walks of life that are Hybrid Z owners not to mention the generation gaps. I'm amazed at some of the wiz bang kids that know their stuff on here as well as some of the seasoned guys as well. My funding for what is a real money pit comes from being a pilot for a freight/cargo company. In my younger days I have always had a sports car and have owned every generation Z car except the 350z. Couple of kids later and I'm lucky to have this one on the sly. I tell the wife once I get it fixed up right, it's for sale. Guess what....it will never be fixed up .

JMortensen Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 spray on hair? Is that like fiber glass in a spray can!!! No, it's like a combo of spray paint and mascara for the top of your head. Its a combo of fine powder and color. The color covers the bald spot and the powder sticks to the hair that is there and makes it look thicker. The stuff actually works. There were quite a few celebrities in the database as customers. After talking to a dude who couldn't get his shipment and was upset because his new wife would find out that he was balding I determined that if I ever go bald I'm just going to shave my head instead of trying to cover it up. Well, it was that guy and the politician who used to come in every so often who had multiple scalp lifts in order to try and cover up the fact that he was balding. It started out funny, but turned sad pretty quickly. The scalp lift works until you lose your hair below where the scalp was lifted. Then you just look like you have a Frankenhead with all these scars and just a few wispy hairs left. Then you buy GLH by the case and try to paint on a head of hair...

pparaska Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 ANOTHER Mechanical Engineer here. I got my BSME in 1986 and the job market was terrible, so I took a professor's offer and became a research assistant and got my thesis masters degree in ME, solid mechanics focus, thesis on composite materials - here's a link to a report that was basically my thesis with an administrative coversheet on it: http://ntrs.nasa.gov/archive/nasa/casi.ntrs.nasa.gov/19930015723_1993015723.pdf To show you how warped I am, I actually enjoyed doing that work!!! I like page 56 - a big long equation that equals ZERO - I remember someone asking me why I cared what the big long equation was if it was all equal to zero anyway!!! LOL What sucked was my thesis advisor telling me that if I had taken the PhD qualifying exam and passed, I could have used that masters thesis as a PhD dissertation and gotten a PhD instead! Oh well, I don't test well, so that probably would not have happened anyway! new and future ME's - the field is so broad that I highly recommend doing a masters degree right away to learn your specialty better. About 3/4 of the way through getting my masters degree, I started work with the Navy as a structural engineer, learned finite element analysis and worked on structural analysis of ship and submarine structures, hydro-acoustic analysis (think submarine stealth), and then ship topside synergistic stealth/structural design. Change, change. Went from structural to dynamics design and analysis to infrared and radar cross section reduction engineering mixed with structural design - interesting stuff! I got tired of the horrible commute around the NW quadrant of the Washington DC beltway and the many-years-long promotion freeze at the civilian level of the DoD, and got a job working 1 mile from where I grew up and where my dad had worked for 50 years full time and then semi-retired - JHU Applied Physics Laboratory. I've been there for 8 years working on a team doing "threat characterization" - providing info to defense designers as to what their sensors will see when looking for and at their "targets". I can't really say much more than that, but the targets are going several km/s as are the things we are hitting the targets with, and the targets can be much larger than a 240Z. The people I work with are generally mental giants - I am often in awe at the brains of the people I work with. No idea how I got to work at the same place as they do!! Yeah, that was change for the better - better commute, pay, benefits, environment, funding for projects, etc. I really envy those of you that have the creativity and drive to own your own businesses.

silicone boy Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 So Pete, when are we going to see your write-up on building a stealth Z car. I figure that with your background, you are the perfect person to build the first "Blackbird" 240Z. As a fellow anti-bling person, I would like to see carbon fiber body panels and the like, that would absorb police radar. This would be very handy in the Virginia area where radar detectors are not allowed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
