I am a SR. Computer programmer Analyst / EDI Specialist for a global OEM auto parts manufacturer.


We make vibration control devices (balance shafts, dampeners ect...) We also make powder metal parts (Push rods, casings, transmission parts ect..) Just about anything to do with metal and noise control on cars.

Some of our customers are Jaguar, Ford, GM, Chrysler, Honda, Cummins, Detroit diesel and the list goes on. I have been with my employer 15 years now.



I write mainly EDI programs. EDI is the exchange of electronic documents between us, our customers and our suppliers. I also write business applications.

We have plants in North America, south America, Chez republic, Germany, France, India, South Korea, Japan and China.

I will retire in about two years at age 62. I have a part time job offer after that with friends at Mason Auto Body. I want to work on cars with my hands and not crunch code behind a desk at that point.

My name is Aaron by the way and I go to school at Purdue and I study Aeronautical Engineering Technology....a mouthful, i know but basically that means that I have an engineering background when dealing with planes, however I am also able to adapt to a role in aviation business/management. I will also be recieving my Airframe and Powerplant (A&P) mechanic certificate, so I'll be able to fit into any hangar setting as well as perform maintenance on the aircraft....anything planes, and I'm your guy haha

I'm burned out on the styling cues that the first gens and the new ones have cause it's all I see at car shows. I love the 70-81 models, especially the 70-73 (like my 73, although my 78 isn't bad looking either).

It'll just be nice when I'm done with school and making a lot more money than I am now but I still have a few years there.

My name is Mike. After retiring from the Navy (after 20 years), I got a job with the State of Ohio. Right now, I am a Program Administrator for the Unemployment Compensation area. Essentially, I do lots of reports and number crunching for the auditing section.

Don't replace, the new Camaro is a great compliment to a Monte

For the last 4 years I had worked at Best Buy part time and with my dad, doing bathroom remodels and kitchen remodels, when I wasn't working there. And about 3 months ago I had started doing car detailing on the side. On my second job, which was about a months ago, I did an older Fox body mustang for a guy who is a manager of a mechanics shop. The owner saw the work I did and offered me a job detailing cars. So for the last 3 weeks I have been detailing cars which is a passion for me. Money is much much better and my days literally go by in the blink of an eye. I have thoroughly enjoyed my last 3 weeks.

I work at a steel company, we buy sell flatten, fabricate, pretty much anything steel related we do. I started in october and this job is the reason why a lot of my projects have moved by faster. Now that I'm here I don't think I'll be looking for another job. They treat us good and the fact that the ceo knows me by first name and actually haves conversation with us makes me feel at home haha
