66 years old, a  contract Military/Industrial Computerized Automation designer and simulation creator, I have owned Porsches and BMW's since 18 years old, had an absolute artisan of power efficiency as caretaker of my cars, but he passed away recently. As I am nearing retirement (if there is such a thing) I am exploring putting my talents to work in the field of computer controlled combustion engines. I am just now trying to come up to speed on the vernacular and having to dig deep into my memory when I was a Machine Assembly programmer. The bulk of my automotive power work occurred during the carburetor/blower age of muscle engines. So, this is a new but somewhat familiar adventure to keep my life interesting into my twilight years. What unique talent that I might have is that I usually can take a relatively complex procedure or mechanical action and greatly simplify it with equal or better results. My ultimate intention is to build a precision CNC/machine shop behind my house and play with ways to develop efficient engine power, unique suspension and precision fire arms. 

Cool. Welcome
