i use to work for roush when i was in college

they own cold weather testing facilities in Bemidji, and i use to be a test driver. i drove around pre production cars all winter long it was a good job to have in college, if you liked driving.

one of the coolest things i got to do was drive the 300C's (actually, was alead car driver at that time) in full body camo, before they were even introduced to the public. another big accomplishment there i did was blew up a prototype tranny in a turbo PT Cruiser with about 15,000 miles on it :laugh: went hard through 1st, shifted into second, and there was nothing there. i drifted to the side of the road, shut her down, and called a towtruck :laugh:

That would have been one of the sweetest jobs ever. I should contact them about doing that as a second job. :drool:

thing is you'd have to move to bemidji

it was a pretty cool job, but got boring after a while. they "say" you arent suppose to talk on the phone, eat, ect in the cars, which is understandable, becasue there are some real idiot that they higher (that will go no further in life). but i remember, i would go for hours straight without hanging up!

i know one of the engineers wanted them to fire me after i blew up the tranny, cause we arent suppose to "hot rod" the cars. i'll admit, i was driving a bit harder than grandma, but, i drove my own cars a lot harder! and it WAS a 5-speed TURBO pt cruiser. pretty sure the owners are going to rod on them a bit! the company had my back though, i had been there for 4-5 years .

Complete engine swap? I like the looks. Its a pretty sweet car.

 

[elraido]

Then why not just buy the car with the engine that you plan to swap it from?

 

[cnewton44]

???? Because then i would have a car with an engine and dont want the car. I like the Supra. And its a five speed.
