I took a year off because i wanted to stabilize myself at my job. I'm heading back to school in Spring. I used to take 3 industrial design classes and one architecture class every semester and usually make up the architecture during summer or winter.

New member here checking in. Just bought my '04 Titanium Grey 6-speed from St. Claire Cadillac in Santa Clara and was wondering if the old owner was on here? He apparently traded in on a Cadillac SRX
