Maybe it's not as hard but it's as practical or more so than a lot of engineering degrees, including ME.

I've learned that the perspective the IE brings to the project table is unique and valuable. Never let anyone denegrate your choice of professions. Each engineering discipline is honorable in it's own right and each contributes it's equal share to a successful design project. Here's an early congrats on your approaching commencement.

I would like to see that before committing to anything.

I did not realize that had been debated previously and my humor (or attempt at it) was not intended to offend. My sincere apologies.
On a bit of a conciliatory note, the fun is just beginning for you. Being in industry is soooo much more enjoyable than the college days, for me at least. There is definitely crap to deal with, but for me no more homework and no more tests was nice.
Peace.

I've only had my vette for a few months. What impact does this have, if any, on the memory settings tied to the remote? If I use remote #1 and memory setting #1, which memory setting will I be able to tie to this new remote?

This is a great idea, I'm counting the weeks until it comes out.
A general question. How can I get the VATS#. I had heard that the dealer can look it up from the VIN - mine happens to want $45 to do it. Can you measure the resistance and somehow convert it?

Dealers really have some nerve! Give me the Dealer's name so I can tell my GM Rep about this place! and
Don't Worry!
We'll look it up for you!
