I often identify you guys as much by your name as you account picture, so I'm curious. So, what is yours and why did you pick it?

Mine is the heist truck from Fast Five, the Mongo. I just love the way it looks, and, future budget willing, I intend to build something similar someday.

This was a piston from a 400cc bike engine I found behind a parking center. I took it home and performed an autopsy.

I took a few photos of some of the parts.

The star is from Jalopnik 4.0 - given by Wert

Well ya see. I switched to this one cause it is winter related, has my name and has a sweet dog. I like dags.

Mine is the emblem that goes on the door panel of a 2nd gen Trans Am Special Edition. I own one, and the bird is the biggest symbol of the car. I also like the symmetry of the circle. I'll take suggestions for a new avatar though.

I'd been to the 2013 D.C. Auto Show a week or two before the March redesign happened and Oppo did a mass enrollment around that time, so I picked a photo that I liked out of several (crappy) smartphone shots that I took at the show. It's what I've stuck with since I joined Oppo, though if I ever took a picture of significantly better quality, I'd bother to make the switch.

Mine, because I think a Red Fiat, like mine, is a better fit for Luppin III than his yellow one was. He's certainly more of a red car kind of guy.

Mine is my 1991 Audi Coupe Quattro

Why is my name 190e30 then? I made my account when I was 15 and still searching for my first car, which I was positive would either be a 190e cosworth or a 325is e30. It wasn't, it was a Dodge Neon ACR.

Mine is just my 240Z when it was being taken down for paint. Eventually when it is completely done I will change to a pic of it completed.

I haven't got many more recent pics other than a few when the car was in primer and the engine bay was painted. Here's one looking down the fender flares... if it was more clear about what it was when shrunk, I might change to it.

You may have read these books as a kid.

I adopted the name playing with a FPS shooter (SOCOM:II) clan that named ourselves after the characters. I've gone by that name online for almost a decade now (holy crap).

It suits me because I'm a little absent minded sometimes. That might be the cannabis.

this is is when I bought it, previous owner was sandwiched in a fender bender, and the hood was only damage, so a $40 certi-fit black primed hood later, and over the years without paint or clear coat it has aged like that. The other dents are from since i owned it, 25 mph deer deflection up front and my cousin backed into it at night.

Mine is the "Do Not Press" button (obviously). It's my avatar on pretty much every site that I can use it on. I don't believe in changing my avatar either, because it would probably confuse people. Possibly. Probably not.

I'm a lone wolf sort of guy, and had a blue Ford Ranger at the time I created my username. I use the same name, or variations of it, across the web. From time to time, I like to create and share custom vehicle textures for video games, basically for Grand Theft Auto and Euro Truck Simulator. I made a logo in order to "brand" myself, based on the Ranger emblem.

(In this instance, the image isn't clickable, but if you're interested, click here ).

Mine shows the interstage section of the Saturn V rocket used for Apollo 6. Why? The Saturn rocket and the Apollo project are about the coolest technological things people have done...ever. As far as the image goes, I just like the composition with the shapes and colors.

My alias is just something I've used since school. The F-86 Sabre was a Korean War era fighter and the first operational US supersonic fighter. Just a cool looking jet.

Thanks! I try to keep her as happy as possible.

I once referred to my M3 as being a cheap daily driver, or something along those lines. They assumed I meant a new car, therefore a Mazda3. What I meant was I don't have to carry comprehensive insurance, I get decent gas mileage, I can work on it myself. Poor assumptions were made all around.
