    I am a huge VW fan, Aircooled of course. This is a pic I took of a Split Window bus emblem.

    Love the 70 Chevelle. I've had mine for almost 19 years and took me 8 of those to tear it down to the frame and rebuild it.

    You avatar always reminds me of Mac from It's Always Sunny.
    My avatar isn't so creative. Just the avatar I had to make for my school online learning software, figured it would be the right size.

    I have a 70 Westy in my garage. It gets such good had mileage that I haven't had to fill the tank in 8 years. That might have to do with the fact that the engine is on pieces on the other side of my garage.

    Yeah, yeah...but I didn't want to start a new one :)

    Mine: Just my every-day-carry camera (Fuji X100) and my every-day man-bag.
    Thinking I maybe should have a more shaving themed one...

    A couple night ago I was watching the movie fight club, and remembered the movie poster. I suffer from SAD pretty bad, so I tweeked the title to make Soap Club. And the first rule of soap club is....

    This is actually a good thread and I would like to hear some of the stories behind the avatars.

    It's Patrick Bateman from the movie American Psycho, which was based on the book of the same name by Bret Easton Ellis. Why did I pick it? Whenever I think of Men's grooming I can't help but think of Patrick's monolog at the beginning of the movie:

    I live in the American Gardens Building on W. 81st Street on the 11th floor. My name is Patrick Bateman. I'm 27 years old. I believe in taking care of myself and a balanced diet and rigorous exercise routine. In the morning if my face is a little puffy I'll put on an ice pack while doing stomach crunches. I can do 1000 now. After I remove the ice pack I use a deep pore cleanser lotion. In the shower I use a water activated gel cleanser, then a honey almond body scrub, and on the face an exfoliating gel scrub. Then I apply an herb-mint facial mask which I leave on for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use an after shave lotion with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your face out and makes you look older. Then moisturizer, then an anti-aging eye balm followed by a final moisturizing protective lotion.

    Pig-Pen is my ideal of the well-groomed man. :happy102: Seriously, I grew up with the Peanuts, and they bring back fond memories for me.

    How can you go wrong with a comic strip whose main character is named Charlie? :D
