Hi all,

I'm new to S2Ki. I'm a current student (Senior) at Johns Hopkins looking to hopefully stay in the area after I graduate next month. I bought my S2K about a year ago (03 from Georgia) and, due to school, have been pretty busy and haven't gotten around to getting too involved. As per a suggestion from O-Turn I'm just posting to introduce myself and I'm hoping get to know some of you a little bit before I can make it out to some meets.


Looking forward to getting involved,

Steve

Hey thanks! its a 03 blue with AP2 bumper conversions, CF hood (which has seen better days), trunk and front lip. full megan racing exhaust and megan racing coilovers. I'm hoping to pay for membership soon and get some pictures up here. Have a lot of plans for the car once i graduate (if i can get a job!)
i haven't seen many s2k's around hopkins in my four years here, O-turn mentioned that there was a member who lived in CV and worked at hopkins with his wife, is that you?

Yeah thats probably me, and I definitely recognize your car. I see on my way to work most days. I work for the JHU Applied Physics Lab in Laurel but my wife works in the Mind-Brain Institute at Homewood. What are you studying?

Rolfcopter: Sorry man, looks like you missed this summer's internship application cutoff date. Fortunately a degree from UMCP does not prevent you from becoming employed at APL when you graduate. (I'm a former Terp myself, Computer Engineering, '05) If you can swing it, try and get on the Formula SAE team (if they are still competing). I did that my senior year and it was a blast. Very time consuming though.

Steve: You should definitely apply for APL. The pay is good, the work environment is excellent, and the benefits are very nice. Job security is very good too, almost like the federal government. I dont think I've met Jose Guzeman, but we have an intern from the mechanical engineering department in our group, Alex Thibau. You may not have met him though; I think he may still be a sophmore or a junior.
