Okay, since nobody else seems to be curious/brave/sexist/deviant enough to look you in the eye and ask you a straight question...

What on Earth is your new avatar? Is that your girl, or did you just find that pic online somewhere?

I can't believe that here I am, living in a great relationship with a wonderful woman..and yet every time you post, I spend more time looking at that thing than reading what you've written. I guess I am a normal guy after all...

As someone who feels that breasts are for babies, and that a "gentleman" appreciates a lady's muscle tone below the waist (especially in that white swimsuit)...you gotta spill it, bro!

Nah...for at least a week after he started using that avatar, EVERY thread with a post by rustyrabbit in it had a question about the avatar

Her legs look like they are literally made out of bronze.

NO! No-no-no-no-no-no-no.

The other guys would hunt me down and kill me for causing you to do that.

Good thing that session at Barber was so far off the road. I'd hate to see bike racers skewered on the sculptures..

And if I were a sculptor...I'd make them.

In reply to neon4891:

Mr. Barber's a bike guy. A rich bike guy who decided to build a museum, and afterwards, a race track. He didn't seem to have realized that a new road course in the Southeast would attract the attention it did (there are actually Pro races there now, the Grand-Am DPs were there just in the last couple of weeks or so). He built the place just like any of us would have if we had the kind of money to build a racetrack...and he decided to commission some sculptures to decorate his playground. They are wonderful.

Ants eating bikers, Giant spiders, Sisyphus rolling a rock uphill, lots of great stuff.

One of the last times I actually worked corners was at the first AL Region SCCA club race there. The place had just opened, and we were amazed to see the things.

The track itself is fantastic, with a lot of elevation change and a nice balance of twisties & straights. I haven't driven it at speed, but that weekend I was there they let workers do recon laps in our street cars at lunch. It's definitely a bike track..the fastest lap on a bike (AMA Superbike, I wonder what a GP bike would do) there is only about 5sec slower than Max Papis in a DP. Also, the Indycars are considering a race there..according to this article, Will Power did a 1:09 in testing there.

Only problem seems to be that since it was built on a personal whim, there's not much spectator space, even for viewing-much less camping, etc.

That may have changed, I haven't been there since 2004.

Those sculptures are ridiculously cool. I'd like something similar in my garden, (when I have a proper garden), just to unsettle the neighbours.

Wow, the things you find on teh internets! I was searching for an image of a new sculpture there, and stumbled across this, evidently Automobile magazine's review of the place. Link to a youtube video of Patrick Long discussing the track at the bottom of the article:

I have to agree, they don't exist.....at least I have to keep telling myself that at 30. Kinda like those pics of Megan Fox's dress....She's fake, no way there's women that look like that.....nope..

I couldn't imagine spending the amount of time that fitness/shape models do to look like they do. Seriously, how could one hold a normal, non-physical job and have any other hobby besides working out to obtain that level of physique.

Hell, I know some guys/gals that spend a good 20 hours a week either riding bicycle or in the gym, and they still don't look anything like that woman pictured above or the men that are in fitness mags.

Agree'd do any of the heavyweight body builders actually have a regular job outside of a gym or they all personal trainers that live in the gym 14 hours a day when they aren't eating 5000 calories?

Even if I had legs like that, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't stand on a racetrack in my underpants.

She does kinda look like if you hooked up with her she would use you to reproduce her alien babies ala Species.
