I am 65 and retired from Mahle Filters USA. I was a maintenance tech for 29 years. Designed, built, and programed industrial control systems.
Prior to that, I was a factory trained VW mechanic, specializing in engines, transmissions and electrical.
As a retired person, I am now a "Consultant" to Mahle Filters USA. I go in and fix shit when they can't figure it out.
And, I am now busier than ever with VW repairs. Putting in 10-12hr days in the shop.
I need a beer frig out here :roll:

I'm 33, son of two Colombian immigrants. As an American-Colombian I had two possible carreer options, sell Coke or sell Coke. I chose Coke, the legal one that is. :lol: [/list]

40, Retired from U.S. Navy.
Now in Civil Service (GS) working for the Navy.

It's pretty cool working at the base you were first stationed at 21 years ago, but this time no uniform, no saluting, don't have to shave if I don't want to (still have a regulation haircut), call Master Chiefs and Captains by their first name, and I have my own parking spot.
