I was seriously bummed when Wally stopped using the MegaBus guy.

I forget why I changed it. I look more like megabus guy but can relate to the robot filled with garbage churning way at a pointless task for too long.

I work for Starbucks IT. Back in 2009 we sponsored a GT3 in the Patrón GT3 Challenge. We had it wrapped in Starbucks Doubleshot livery for the season. Before the season started they brought the car by HQ for a visit. We (the IT group) were represented on the front fenders.

Mine is the Pink Panther smoking a cigarette in a cigarette holder. The Pink Panther Show was one of my favorite cartoons as a kid. I typically change avatars fairly often, dunno what will be next.

I just took the placeholder avatar, put him in a wife beater and gave him a scowling face. The avatar pic is a lot grumpier than I am in real life. I'm not sure if I can even make a face like that. Here is the pic from The_Jed's profile that inspired my avatar: (On reflection, I think he once posted a pic of himself wearing a wife beater and that this pic is a later version.)(I don't know, I've had this damn picture as my avatar for years at this point.)

Look at the schnoz on that guy!

Mine is a pic of my truck that I owned in Australia. I sold it as I no longer live there and there is no way I could import it to the US and legally use it

Mine is obviously my 1970 Opel GT.
My dad gave the car to me after he taught my youngest sister how engines work with it. Bought from the first owner's daughter which is my other sisters best friend. Known the car since new. I restored it, only work farmed out was the paint. Even made and sewed the interior.

I have a habit of writing things when people leave me alone with letters. I have rearranged many an aisle at michaels or hobby lobby. This one was sort of high up at a baby store. It stayed like that for close to a year.

I've been using this pic of Lucy, our Cornish Rex, as an avatar for some time now. It's now a memorial of sorts as she passed away in August. I miss her too much to change it anytime soon.

Mine is Eleanor. The real one, not that overstyled abortion that Nicholas Cage drove in a CGI movie that had nothing to do with the original. (Bitter? Me? Noooo).

Toby Halicki pretty much lived the life I would probably have chosen for myself. Self-made millionaire, cars galore, biggest toy collection in the world, and made a movie that had no purpose other than to be the best car chase ever filmed. Bonus points for using a Mustang, my favorite car. The original Gone In 60 Seconds and everything about its creation is what boyhood dreams are made of.

My hero worship stops at the point this film ends. His sequel Junkman was awful and he died during filming of the third movie. And I'll pass on the sideburns and the 1970s sunglasses. You can't do today what Toby accomplished in 1973.

I just noticed that the Science Post writer team's avatar looks remarkably similar, close enough that I had to come back and check.
