I'm a CAD/CAM designer for a manufacturer of automotive a/c systems. I design the parts on the computer, then program the CNC machines that make them. :) 7-5 monday thru friday, for the past 9 years.

I have done a few CAD positions with very similar work over the recent years.

It's got its ups and downs. Strikes and gutters, as the dude would say. The software is a nightmare, pro/engineer. I call it pro/p-o-s. OEM projects are the best. Logging and verifying hours. The paper work. Oh, and don't get me started on revisions, I love revisions. :P

PRO/E is a nightmare...we use Inventor at work....easier to use but has its own drawbacks as well.

I'm a lead designer in medium voltage motor controls for a large electrical company from 7am to 4ish.

What company? I used to build power generation and distribution units and we used a lot of MCCs from GE, Cutler Hammer, Square D, and ABB.

EATON / Cutler-Hammer ....

I've done the 3.2 swap Big Bore Secondary butterfly, ported heads, extrusion honed intakes (both 1st and 2nd intakes) and full 1 off 2.5 inch exaust from the block to the back bumper. Other than that shes all stock its fun to pick on Z28's, transam's and C4 vetts. They never see you coming in and old 1993 ford Taurus. How much did you have wraped up in your built up SHO and what gen was it?

PRO/E Isnt that bad, they redesigned it all so it works more like solidworks form what i hear, in college it was an easy transition from solidworks to pro/e i thought.

anyways, im a drafter/designer for a rubber molding company, i design molds that make printer rollers for cannon, kodak, ricoh and many other company's printers. I use Solidworks, its also what i use for box designs ;)

Previous owner spent $26k on it.

One of the first 92's Vadim went nuts on. Springs, shocks, sways, crossover, exhaust, displacement bored to 3.4L, stage II cam, injectors, ported heads, extrude honed intake, custom tune, quaiffe diff, and I know I am forgetting something. The car was retired in 1998 when the engine finally went, had it towed to a shop and the tow truck totaled it in the process. Convenient timing as their insurance paid for it and I was able to part it out. Still have the Powerdyne in my basement though just waiting for another project car. Amusingly I bought it for $10k a month after it was built, the guy who had it done couldn't get his valet's to start it as if she didn't fire on the first revolution she'd flood. All you had to do was step to the floor and it would roar to life, but they couldn't figure that out. Considering he was paying $800 a month to park it living in Chicago it wasn't like the money mattered to him. Thing was fast as hell and when not traction limited would stick with anything on the Chicago freeways.

Yeah if half of these high school punks knew anything about cars besides what they see in the movies, they would know better than to mess with a SHO at 50mph or faster
