The New Math of Driving Your Car Till the Wheels Fall Off

37. It's just uncanny with engineers

We have maybe 600 engineers in the building, you won't find but a few dozen new cars in our parking lot and those are usually the execs. We have a production area out back, and the parking lot for production has more new and nicer cars than the one we all park in. Lots of nice trucks back there.

And it's not just my work. My oldest friend is a medical devices engineer at a different firm and has done very very well for himself, drives like a 12 year old Nissan that is nothing fancy and has 180,000 miles on it. His net worth is probably in excess of $2M and he's not wasting money on a fancy car.
