Just talked to the President of the compny a little bit ago and its a very promising outlook. I do think that in order to make this happen I'll have to stagger some moving expenses cuzi don't think I can affrd it all at once. We are looking at about $4,000 to move my belongings and Mazda... I'll talk to her more this week and get some more details on the one position they have open or I can choose to wait until their next acquisition

I would consider Northern Cali if I were to move but my Field does not have alot of areas in whcih I could move to. AeroDyanamics Engineering and I work for Boeing... As such not a whole lot of room for movement... but there are a few offinces in Long beach but I am not sure I want to move to LA.

Tim, I guess you know that after you do the move, at the end of the year you can claim the expenses for the move on your taxes and from something like that you may get $1,000 back. Thats what I got back when I came from Miami.
And BlueShift what kind of programs do you use to do the Aerodynamics calculations? They are Fluid Dynamic programs right? I ask you because I work with 3D and l do car design also and would love to be able to to the calculations for aerodynamics on them.

Might as well get out of washington as son as you can. We just reelected a governer who put ius in debt $3,200,000,000.00 plus we approved every single spending inititive... Taxes are going to skyrocket! I'm gone, but don't worry boeing will move all of their opperations out of washington to get away from stupid unions costing them $100,000,000.00 a day... Just like they moved their corporat headquarters because Locke was taking the hell out of them. People don't learn. Labor unions single handedly ruined Ford, GM, and Chrysler. They didn't make enough money selling cars to pay thier employees because of the unions. That's why American cars are made outside teh US, yet Japanese car companies can build good cars right here in the US with hard working people.

see if you can hitch a ride in something bigger, drive the mazda in with your some of your crap in it, and just stay there, ship the rest down later, lol with the way the weathers been lately that would be my choice

lol actually my sister was doing some moving research when I was talking with her and my parents and she found that for less than $800 I can rent a truck and trailer for the Mazda one way to Arizona. Which would save me a ton so I could easily afford the move. So give me a couple months to get settled in and find my own place then I'll fly back and get my junk

Just make sure you dont get any company to move your car in a truck. I made that when coming from Miami and had a company move my Datsun 240Z and all they did was to screw the car up completely.
I will never use a company like that again.

I already beat you out of here when I was 20 and I joined the Army. Main reason i came back was because they will only pay to ship you to where you enlisted once you get out. I should have just stayed in Alabama, or taken a gray hound to L.A.
