Was it your engineering experience that attracted them or your driving instruction (in race cars?)experience? :) Actually you would be good for the job given your interest in leading without authority since Fontaine seems to call all the shots anyway! Winning through intimidation is certainly not your style. Winning friends and influencing enemies still works. Even though you like science fiction and probably own IA's first edition of his first book, I'll be you also like Zig and Covey??
