Default Microsoft?

Do we have any Microsofties on here? I see a couple vette's in my parking garage every day but never met the owners. Just wondering if anyone else on here works for MS?

Gee, I thought that with Sync Technology, MS employees had to drive Fords!

Default Samm-D here

I'm over on the Sammamish "campus". Us Ops and Services guys get no respect!

There are usually at least 3 Vettes here in our garage at any given time. I haven't met any of them yet. I did meet one guy with a Exige - he had a C6, but sold it to buy the Lotus... He was looking for a track car, so it almost makes sense...

Hey WAwatchnut, I haven't posted for quite a while. I'm at the Samm campus as well. I see your car in the garage all the time

I used to have a red C6 Z06. I traded it for a M3 last year. My wife immediately fell in love with the Bimmer, so I took her car and traded it for a black 2008 a couple weeks ago. It's good to be back in a vette.

Did you get a new Z06? I've seen a new black one here a couple of times.

So now you get to drive the Vette and an M3... lucky guy!

While we're on the subject. Are there any aftermarket GPS systems using Zune or MS OS?

b85, WEX, although I hardly ever drive the vette to work since the roll bar and seats went in. plenty of porsches in the parking garage here, it always cracks me up to see base 911s with GT3 wings and turbo wheels... posers.
