Thanks for the post. I used to make a living as a Mechanical Engineer. I miss working with customers and the guys on the shop floor. Mutual respect.... I always seemed to get along with the end users and the product builders, and a big part of that was based on what you posted. One of the things I always told my managers was to "stop hiring Engineers that don't have enough mechanical aptitude to change the tire on their own vehicle".

I worked with way too many engineers in my career that had chosen the incorrect path on the yellow brick road, so to say.

I have a buddy, Kevin Erisman, back in Ohio who does suspension modifications http://www.hackersparadise.biz/index.html Kevin will lower any and every kind of vehicle. One of his signature modifications is locating the air ride suspension controls into the orignal vintage radio. Basically by pushing in on the frequency set buttons you can air up or air down the suspension.

Neat stuff!
