What's the significance of your avatar?
I just changed mine to this skiing picture my son took of me. I used to have a picture of the rear right corner of my car. When I took that picture, I thought there would be enough detail to show the proportions and tread of the WR 235/60 tires. But the tire looked like a blob at 80x80 pixel resolution.
Despite low resolution, avatars are still intriguing because they tell something about the person. My story is that I have always been a skier, I worked in a ski shop in college. I am 5'7" and used to ski 210cm GS skis. Now I am on these 160 slaloms that carve like scalpals. I used to ski bumps, now I am a gold ranked NASTAR gate skier. My how things change. Especially me, I can't believe we have two station wagons! But wouldn't have it any other way.
It would be fun to say that the Volvo gets us up the hill to the resort. But we leave it in the garage and drive the Subaru. Skiing parking lots can be terrible on cars

'04 XC70, Ice White, Taupe. Original owner (196K miles as of may21). 6 wheel bearings, broken ignition switch, broken turbo downtube flange, failed throttle body, many warped rotors, and a myriad of weird crap. Still my favorite car ever.
