trying to learn more about my fellow brethren; education

I know this might just sound like a weird thread, but I'm just trying to find out what else I have in common with people who love the E55. Where did you/do you guys go to school? What were your majors? I'm a student at USC and I'm hoping to go to law school.

I'm not sure if I count as a fellow e55 brethren (I drive a non AMG E) but I'm a fellow trojan. What color is your car? I'll have to look for it around campus.

I drive a silver w211 lowered with black brabus 19s... live in the mirage.

Easy guys, W211 BEAST is new here and likes to type more than read.
He, rather than searching for the topics will just start a new topic. I can understand his enthusiasm over his E55 and his need to belong, brethren.

I always wanted to be an engineer but hated math and physics so I took business and psych instead.

Still wanting to do engineering, I turned to modding street cars and then to race cars to pursue that aspect of my life. I learned from many great teachers over the years and in hands-on environments and have been able to do a level of engineering that I would probably not have been involved in had I gone through traditional channels.

In my professional life, I have always been in the technology sector.

My idol is Paul Gentilozzi...An honest hard working gentleman racer with a successful racing R&D business and contributions to the motorsports that have been selfless. Not to mention that he is an all around great guy to talk to!

How much anyone want to bet that the demographic cross section represented by this forum in no way matches the standard distribution for a new AMG buyer.

But it does probably match up with AMG Modders. Which is why we have the sponsors we have and AMG very likely takes what is said here with a grain of salt.

After all AMG is in the business of selling new AMGs and keeping those customers happy with their performance and reliability so they buy another new AMG.

M.S.E.E

Im with you, I think engineering is the coolest major/profession out there, but unfortunately I lack the proper math and science skills for it.
