    What inspired your AVATAR?

     



    Mine came from a GSRMC cruise to Orange County Chopper, on the way back we hit a thunderstorm (me with no top ) and as we were going towards it on the highway my friends wife snapped that shot. She said "I've never seen someone so calm when facing a storm in a roadster". 3 minutes later I looked like a drenched rat, glad she put the camera away

    Ah yes, the Achmed the dead terrorist, perhaps more fitting for Halloween than New Years Eve don't you think, although, he does a nice rendition of "jingle bombs"

    Just got the truck and this will be my first hot rod in over 40 years. I just hope I can still remember how to make everything work. By the way it was a Christmas present from my wife. Great wife don't you think?

    Well mine have been---the B777 that I was one of the earlier Captains--the B767 that was flown into the building on 9-11 (finally took it down, I was looking threw my log books at how many times I flew it and it was depressing) current one is my Monza Pro Stocker---what a ride---sold it to a guy who drove it on the street--heard it is now somewhere in the Carribean

    My current car while under construction - it needs to be updated, but since procrastination is one of my principles of life, someday will be soon enough

    Well....(duh!) ....I paint. ...and skulls have been popular lately, so....

    I will change it when the trends change, or I do something I am excited about. I just did a '40 Ford coupe that has some unusual flames, and I would show it, but the owner wants to be the one to unveil it, so....

    Rob Zombie is my favorite musician. My avatar is a picture of his wife Sherri Moon. When they divorce, I will divorce my wife and carry on trying to make Sherri Moon fall in love with me................ *creepy*

    Nah, I just think she's hot.

    Used to have my Stu Cool license plate, but decided that was redundant. Changed it to this pic of our Studebaker at Lake Tahoe. One of the best shots of the car we have.

    Of course, that's just my opinion, I could be wrong!
