Yeah, I managed to persuade Boyfriend to not go back to FCA when his Charger lease was up. Now I get to feel fancy when we take his Midnight edition ATS as opposed to having the heat blasting in the summer because “it takes a second for it to figure out what the inside temp is...and apparently defaults to ‘it’s really…

My word...those are ugly.

Please don’t be sure about that. That crack will make the car fold like a taco if it’s in a head-on collision.

Hahaha totally does.

Ah, I do now realize that. I thought you were talking about the 12V, I’m used to the hybrid battery pack being called a RESS. Oops.

You paid HOW MUCH for a battery?

I used to do the Presentation event for my Formula SAE team. At FSAE Lincoln in 2012 (the first year at that location) we decided to use Apple Maps (new and cool at the time) to navigate from our campground to the elementary school within which the event is held.

If you just applied and then didn’t communicate with the company further, that’s not an atypical turn-out. For all you know, they’ve had 3 rounds of interviews and decided to send rejection letters to all the…

I had an experience like this, except with just an interview. I called to follow up on my application and was told that though they did receive my application, the position was filled already. I was polite and asked if I might leave the hiring manager a voicemail. I thanked them for considering me and that if any…

I do some work with a recruiting team outside of my engineering work at one of the Big 3 automakers. It pains me every year when we find so many wonderful candidates we want to hire, but are only given a handful of positions to fill. Just because we can’t hire you right now does’t mean that we don’t want to. If…

For beginners remember to use your legs more than your arms.
