Oft am I curious of the shrunken images next to your names; mostly the cars I can't make out or some cool gif...or anime reference. If you're into that. Blow that Shit up.

My most recent is a cat playing a shamisen , from 16th century Okazaki, Japan-The birthplace of the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution. . . f*cking no one was going to get that so I felt it needed its own post.

I fell off the (brown diesel manual) wagon having gone cold turkey on 'Oppo for a while, but I'm back with slightly better self control. A joyous part of this experience is looking forward to the content of those familiar faces.

Something worth reflecting on because I've often changed my name and avatar, also Feel kinda bad I'm not following anyone. *Mr Jeff Simmons cleared my question of seemingly having like 2,000 followers when really its something to do with Authorship.*

My GSX fender just after it was painted Dupont's Jaguar British Racing Green + green pearl enthusiastically applied by vocational students. Pimpalicious in the sunlight!

Fun rallycross in ankle-deep mud when I still owned the Wolfsburg. 1st place betchesss.

My Newfoundland buddy Fenrir (Fenry, Fin, Funny) as a Puppy. 155lbs of fluff and adorable squeals now, exploded a hole through our plastic fence like Hercules in the movie Sandlot, going after a rabbit. His moody sister Starr caught one of em and bit it in half. Its been an eye opening relationship .

It was an discarded 400 or 600cc Honda motorcycle engine I found in the bushes in a shopping center. It was there for days, so one day I naturally decided to bring it home and take it apart.

I had two for a very long time, first this one, Which is me posing with my brother's anatomy skeleton, steve, that got for christmas.

Then there's this one which I had for a long time which is Holo from Spice and Wolf (probably one of the best written female leads in anime) eating potatoes. Which comes from this scene.

And finally my username is a reference to NERV's logo in Evangelion and Robert Frost's Spring.

I think the following thing has to do with getting authorship on OPPO. I have a ton of followers too, but I highly doubt they went in to their account, found me, and followed me. You should follow some people though, Opponauts are pretty swell.

Also, my avatar is hopefully pretty self-explanatory....

Yes. Start with the second book. Only read the first if you are committed to reading ALL of them, otherwise it might put you off to the rest of the series, which is brilliant.

You're thinking "The Fountain". Oddly enough I just bought that, saw it years ago and loved it. If you liked that movie though, you'll probably enjoy Tree of Life.

Yeah its kind of a mind play on the essence of the car and how its not empty often because of good MPG, so I took a picture so it lasts longer. But every 350-400 miles its empty because it only has a 10 gallon tank. And I put too much thought into it, & because no one really likes to see the gauge on E.

I used to be much more active in making video game mods, mostly textures for trucks and police cars. I felt I should have a logo for my "brand". I've had the name for years all over the web. I drove a blue Ford Ranger at the time.

If you get a recent edition there's some backstory in the prologue that covers the previous book(s). I started with the 3rd book way back when I was a wee lad, and it made me want to back and read the others. It wasn't until a decade later that I found the first book....

Mine is from my all time favorite Anime . . . with a couple of possible exceptions (Evangellion, Bubblegum Crisis, Kenshin, Death Note)

Speed Racer/Mach a GO-GO-GO is (I'm convinced) why I love cars so much to this day.

If/when I can afford one (and a place to park it) I'll buy a Mach 5 from Phantom Garage.

Freakin' knew it was a puffalump we has a couple of those in the house late 80's... I tried so hard to get a black 944 with gold stripes running up the flared fenders as my very first car as a teen and all but had an ugly cry when my parents didn't give me my savings to buy it. Never again

I'll be honest - I still can't tell what your avatar is in its small size. Same with most people in this thread that have car-related avatars.

I like to think that mine is pretty straightforward - it's Larry the croc (from Pearls Before Swine) in a Colonel Sanders getup holding a KFC bucket.

Gawker sucks because they make the avatars so small and have shitty compression. They should definitely make them larger.

It's the NERV logo for the Rebuild movies. I actually prefer the old logo but the "God's in His Heaven All's Right With The World" bit is easier to see on the new one.
