They all drive Ford's so no mazzerrati for me :(

Hey, I wouldn't mind a Ford but they are all european econoboxes...

When I was stationed in England, I had a 87 Ford Escort GT ... Awesome Sporty ride ... Not so easy getting use to the sterring wheel on the right side ...

87, back when they used to make nice cars...

kinda quick for a 4 banger ...

Funny, since I was just reading about the Chrysler 2.2 turbo...

Yes, it's Chrysler but still, very good performance for that age.

Still waiting for an answer from NI but the difference is I can walk to Emerson while NI is 6 miles away. That equates into $100 for gas per month. Unless NI offers $200 more than Emerson, case closed.

And you can sign an offer and unsign it in the same week anyways. Either way it gives you negotiation power with NI. I'd also expect that Emerson is a better place to work as NI over here seems to turn people over quickly, ie hire out of school but not keep them. Both are good options for opening other doors though :)

They (NI) might be a bit different here, since I know a few people who have been working there for 3+ years. And at least 4 people I went to college with work there.

Either way, I'm stoked to be in the position to chose between those companies.

In Europe, your Fords look like this:

And of course I mostly interact with the sales side, not development. That probably is different meaning they just don't want to pay for a tenured salesperson.

And yes, Europe is very different. Typically jobs here revolve. Either way shortly after you start you should let them know you are willing to travel long term and I would say anywhere as the experience is good and would help you get here if that is at all a goal.

Had the travel talk at the interview, they even asked me if I have any problems with getting a US visa. Travel is the main advantage over NI.

Huge advantage and being able to work internationally is something everyone should try an do and you are exactly the right age :)

I took these pics before I cleaned the tires ... sorry ... :ughdunno:

The trend isn't exclusive to Ford either. There are quite a few manufacturers that soften up the American versions of their cars. Says a lot about our market

LOL

Yes, cheapen is a better word for it. A lot of it has to do with the fact that there isn't much of a perceived market for true sports cars in the US. If everyone is content buying sports cars that still utilize leaf springs and live rear axles then why bother making something better?

Math vs Matt round 2.

You can do it Matt!
