A train driving one, probably, based on his name..?!? Bueller?

I'm a mech engineer, just a worker bee 2 years out of school, 72k this year.

I love the standard distribution around 50k, and then the alarmingly high 100+ votes. Either we have a 2 tier userbase or some of us are posting out e-salaries?

not at all! I hold my BS in EE and my masters in Network Security / Computer Forensics. In the defense industry as a senior engineer the salary range is roughly $100K - $150K for an engineering manager. That is in the baltimore / DC metro area but I know other areas around the country that also support these salaries.

You have to remember, some of us are old farts, I have been working for 26 years now in this industry and am part of senior management.

A "recreational entertainment" engineer?

100k used to be big money but not really anymore. Most combined household incomes are over 100k.

I am surprised at how willing people are to state their annual income. I've got no problem with it, just surprised.

Don't be surprised. What they list is their e-income.
I made 455k last year myself.

Yeah, I am very surprised how many people have stated their income. I checked the top box. That's as far as I am comfortable disclosing. I am Professional Networker and Business Owner.

I could have bought something more expensive, but why? The STI is fun to drive, has a gazillion mod options and room for my wife and grand-daughter. The car is easy to drive in S mode when they are in the car. When they're not, S# and a lead foot.

I don't want 3 cars ~ don't have the space for them. I've had a few Vettes and an S2k. All great cars, but none can match the all around usefulness of the STI. If I did have the room, I'd still have an STI.
