When not working on your 944
 

What do you do?

I work on these.

and when not working on those, I drink beer.

Which reminds me, I have to fly up north again and leave my 944 sitting in the pouring rain again for a week. Wish I fixed my leaky rear windows.

boring. software engineer for motorola.

I used to work for Motorola in Elma, NY before they closed the plant. :)

Well, I'm not the official ice technician, but I pretty much do and know everything for it. I'm technically head ice resurfacer.

Refrigeration plant. There's a second unit exactly like this immediately outside the picture. Each one has a 4 cyl and a 6 cyl R-22 reciprocating compressor that cools a glycol solution that's circulated through a cooling grid in the concrete slab.

I'm in school for mechanical engineering, but that's not so cool yet. :p

That's a nice looking rink! I am a referee :)

Went for mechanical engineering also. Refrigeration is a great area of study to get into, especially service. Good money in that field if you can get the proper licensing (state and federal, the federal is easy).

I was planning on doing HVAC service when I got outta school for one of the big name places (Carrier or Trane have strong ties to my school) but didn't know you need to be an apprentice to get that sort of spot. All the guys they hire from my school are in sales.. No way i can deal with sitting behind a desk making calls all day.

I chase these.

Wow I always love the look of new lines. I worked in a rink for many years and changed many of zamboni blades and had many of late nights working on a good sheet of ice with friends after a long pick up game of hockey. not to mention the old crane compressors running at the rink and the HDB zamboni we had. my favorit Zam was the old 1962 3 speed JR we had as a back up it never let us down.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1258957306.jpg

Full time student....

Returning full time student here too. No time for much else.

I too am a MechE, but really am a software engineer. But a non-boring SW engineer. I work on these (me in the background, on the laptop)...

Not really a 944 guy as I sold mine a year ago, but I still hang around here. Occassionally I contribute something useful. For money, I'm a code monkey.

I used to know a guy named Ian (pronounce Eye-an) who worked there doing that. He hasn't been there for more than five years that I know of.

Elementary School teacher. Motorcycle builds in spare time.

jcommin, nice pieces. Any more with cars?

You guys actually have a time when you are NOT working on your 944?

Yup... My 944 is very rarely broken... Upgrades mostly... Now lets not talk about that ******* Corrado...

wow jim..i really like this one :)

I was a Structural Mechanical Engineer - Power Plant Construction around the US. Now that I'm retired I am a full time Porsche Restoration worker. I get the 944's that most would part out and restore them to as close to perfection as possible. Sometimes I will have to spend twice as much to have the car live again as it could get for it if/when I would sell it. Can't keep 'em all, not enough room.

There is nothing more expensive than a cheap Porsche -

I manage maintenance and flying for 2 companies of Army aircraft....and work on my other 2 P-cars. If I still have time I help my daughter with her 2 horses....any time left after that...I drink beer & smoke cigars. Life is good !

Rasta,

A couple of more car pieces:

I work on my 67 beetle, still go to high school (sadly....last year though), and work as a computer technician for a company called LVTech, and play drums in a metal band :)

Fantastic artwork Jim!
Any pieces with the 944 in the works??

Love the picture! It's hard to find pics of the old stuff. The lines look pretty good from that angle, but that paint job had some issues. Nobody thought to use string and measuring tape to locate the faceoff dots and hash marks ( major :rolleyes: ), so they are kind of every which way. I decided to drop by that night and help out since I wasn't working that particular day and we were behind schedule, but the damage had already been done. Oh, well. I love working with the ice. It's pretty cool, especially the fun stuff like tempering.

I keep considering going into HVAC, esp refrigeration. It's pretty fascinating stuff and the auto market is so screwed up these days, anyway. Keeping cars on the fun end of the stick wouldn't be such a bad thing.

I'm walking.... stupid electrical system!

I wish I had more time to work on and learn about my car, but as it stands i do more work on these.

my desk a while ago

I work in It for a medium sized company, we make insulation for a lot of aerospace manufacturers, parts for Boeing, Spirit, Middle River. Planes like the F22 Raptor and F35 Lightning, and 70% of the insulation for the Space shuttle.
When I'm not at work I'm at school full time college student, 18units little over 50hour weeks with work and school. Luckily I've got a awesome 944s that makes going from one to another just that much more enjoyable.

Full time student in Mechanical Engineering graduating this December. I was hoping to get into engine design, darn economy.

Previously worked for 12 years in the plastic injection molding industry doing processing, robotics and process engineer functions.

Speedy:)

I am a telecommunications engineer. When not at work I am working on or playing with my Jeep or my 944. I also spend time smoking cigars and drinking scotch or beer.

I'm a project engineer for an industrial finishing system company. We manufacture industrial washers, ovens, powder paint lines, e-coat paint systems, and material handling systems.

Student and Counter Pro at O'reillys when my S2 is running is top shape I am rebuilding a 70 Nova

The 70% that sticks to the vehicle, I hope. . .

;)

I design chemical plants, refineries, power plants, natural gas units, etc.

If it has pipe and equipment like pumps, compressors, towers, reactors, etc. I'm the guy who lays the equipment, roads, pipe racks, buildings, etc out and routes the pipe from point A to point B.

I do i all in specialized 3D software for the industry.

Haha, if it wasn't we would have an unfathomable amount of lawsuits so far up our ass we would be tasting lawyers dress shoes till half past forever. We don't manufacture the tiles on the outside, internal insulation usually for engine components.

Like your Malibu Jim, But I like mine better. LOL
