**CLOSED!!!** TacomaWorld Secret Santa: TWSS 2015!!!!!

Hit a manhole in a construction zone where they hadn't finished paving and it mangled the subframe and bent the whole front end. I had it towed to a shop, insurance called while I was in school to tell me it was totaled and by the time I got out of school and called them back to tell them I wanted to buy it back they had sold it out from under me and the company they sold it to wouldn't sell it to me without a dealers license.

 

Ohh damn if of been so mad!!!! God just like my present truck. If that ever gets totaled I'll be very very sad.

 

good luck figuring out who I am

I am here, I am there, I am nowhere and everywhere.

Serious question for you,
What kind of engineer are you, i.e., mechanical, structural, etc?

 

By degree a mechanical, by career electrical

 

I'm a semi-professional ungineer.

 

Interesting ! I don't know any others that have turned into elec's. I'm a lowly civil myself... I suppose my network just doesn't have the skills to do anything more than the DC stuff in my truck

 

I do PLC programming and industrial type stuff now, so not really electrical design stuff except for our wiring. I enjoy it, more so than sitting in an office on autocad day in and day out

 

That's BS! I thought owners had first right of refusal.

 

Apparently not. I was so pissed I almost switched ins. companies. I knew when it happened that it was totaled and the block was fucked so I had already found an ls/t56 donor car and ls swap kit for it. I was waiting on them to call me so I could go pick the z and everything else up and start swapping it

 

There is another from Oklahoma working as an electrical engineer, but schooled as a mechanical engineer. kneeboarder1025.
I'm mechanical by degree, but did some electrical engineer (minor), but now work as a combustion engineer.

 

so you are NOT in an office? You work from the job site?

if that is the case, you first present might not make as much sense.

 

I work in both. Office for a few months then jobsite for a few months.

 

Probably in the office part time while developing the logic and documentation, then in the field/shop when wiring/testing/FAT'ing?

 

Correct.

 

this is closed already?

 

Perfect.

 

are you just making up stuff to confuse me?
What is FAT'ing? when I googled it it simply said
Yeah Man, you are FAT.

 

What is a combustion engineer. What kind of stuff do you do, work on?

 

Combustion engineers are the ones my grandma always thinks of when she's reminded of my job. They drive trains. They don't have to shovel their own coal these days though; there's refugees for that.

 

^^^ Hahaha. I'd drive a train, but I don't think they'd pay me enough. I design equipment that burns things. Like incinerators and flares (not road flares, giant lighters on 300ft sticks).
