I joined the USAF back in 1980 and served in some cool missions to include Desert Shield/ Desert Storm. I am now a Air Force civilian and DOD Contractor program manager on a aircraft maintenance contract. I consider myself very young at heart (47 years old) and have driven a Benz since 1987 but have never been so excited for a Mercedes like I am for the "beast" (C63)

35... Construction Consultant... No drugs... No trust fund... self made... earned every penny... No guilt... Don't appreciate paying 50%+ taxes to people who think i'm evil and still don't think it's enough... and i laugh hysterically when they think I need to pay my "fair share"...
And I LOVE my c63!

Yep, some tax cut. It took 39% down to 37%!!! Woo-hoo! I wonder if people paying 0-15% taxes really do realize that high earners pay their fair share and then some. "No C.E.O. should make more than a million a year," somebody said.
How about no American should pay more than a million a year in taxes?

I'm 23 and I live off a trust fund. My dad helped develop COBOL tools in the 1980s and while I don't sell drugs I use a tremendous and diverse amount of them. I have a poor work ethic and I'm very narcissistic. Also, I tend to confabulate if the context is sarcasm.

You have been over here as long as I have, I was stationed at RAF Lakenheath in the early 80's then went to Cannon New Mexico and came back to Europe (Germany) December 1985 and have been here since, I stuck it in the wrong place and got a couple of German women pregnant so I stayed here because of my kids....

My brother worked for Verizon and also worked from the Trade Centers I think for about 15 years but was still in his Brooklyn apartment on 9/11 and saw it "live" from his window, he lost alot of friends and people that he knew. I have been to ground zero on several ocasions and still cant believe they are not standing anymore, needless to say my brother stays clear of that area. My parents could see the disaster that day from a church steeple in New Rochelle next to the Bronx and I for one "will never forget".

I have flown the Boeing 777-200ER in the past with my uncle as the Captain and enjoyed every moment of it so I can only imagine how exciting and wonderful it will be to fly the 787.

Seems like a fun job if you love what you do. I have been following the 787 development for some years now and also participated in the various surveys online when they created the website for the 787 or should I say the 7E7. I remember voting for one of the top 5 or 3 names (don't remember now) that Boeing had listed to choose from for the aircraft.
