Maxima driving engineers?

Noticed something in one of the threads where there were at least two Maxima owners who were engineers and it got me thinking:

How many Max owners are engineers? How many with an Iron Ring?

I myself am a mechanical engineer and proudly wear the Iron Ring.

ERTW!

I am electrical engineer (working for Bell Canada Research and Development). Live in Montreal (damn, it's cold!) and my Max is 2K GXE that I bought in August 99. I think I was one of the first to buy 5th gen in my area. When I saw the car in magazine, I rushed to the dealer

The Iron Ring is given to engineering gradutes in Canada during the Iron Ring ceremony as a reminder to perform their services in an ethical and diligent manner. Here are more details:

Hehehe... know and heard, but never tried. I graduated in 99 with BS in Computer Science and BA in Economics.

Cows were our friends since they're right next to EUII.
