I was born son of Byford, brother of Al
Betty's my momma, and Run's my pal
It's McDaniels, not McDonalds
If I see a kid in a Civic, I'm gonna cap Ronald

@TurboRefrigerator: It also reminds me of yesterday's Wondermark cartoon.

Thusly, my critique:
#1: It looks like Watson has at last found his niche in life. Amusing as hell, but a little shy of meme tie in.
#2: Such a shot of Heidi Montag is always a win, but otherwise, not much car-related.
#3: Just....no. I never wanted to see Ferrari guy again.
#4: Major kudos for the amount of effort that went into thinking that up and creating it. That is far and away one of the best.
#5: I suppose it really had to happen, didn't it? Not much directly car- or Jalopnik-related, but Obama is now indirectly related to the automotive world, whether we like it or not. Superb use of subtlety to make a point.
#6: That was a lot of Jalopnik memes crammed into one picture. I am reminded of looking at a "Where's Waldo" book as a child, only in this case trying to spot the most relevant meme.
#7: No. I don't know what the background context on that is, and I don't really want to.
#8: Clever parallel, but I would have gone with a shot of Pearl Harbor instead.
#9: He does look like a Harvard kid, doesn't he?
#10: Quite possibly the closest competition for #4. This one was great. It combines a new internet meme with a one of the most revered movie classics in all of Jalopland, and does so on several levels. I liked this one. A lot.
Let's face it, regardless of what our opinions of Heidi Montag actually are, she is hot. #10 really was great, and I love Back to the Future. But in the end, as much as it kills me to deny any BTF reference, I have to give my nod to #4. It was just so much effort and so many memes that were so perfectly choreographed that I can't help but give it a standing applause.

The simple truth is that of the three, Ferrari Guy is simply the king. He's just full of so much fail that he actually wins. He also scares the hell out of me.

@Dhillaz 2.0: It came in #11, so we had to toss it up as something of an honorable mention. I was going to put this one I made up top, but decided against it.

Wow. I'd almost forgotten about that already. And was happier for it.

Oh sorry, I though we were voting.
Of course we know his name, it's Eldrock Bolton.
I think that the crazy(est)thing is that for $250, you can ride in his Eldorado! Only $50 less?
So here is what we know.
He looks like a DNA splice of David Coverdale and David Lee Roth.
He lives in the greater Chicago area
He has not only a Ferrari, but a Cadillac Eldorado too( was it 1st prize in this months sales contest?.
He offers mysterious "services".
I really am dying to see what the Eldorado looks like.
Blagoyovich should hire this guy to drive him to all his court appearances.
I would hire him to drive me to funerals.

Oh, wait. The most photographed guy in the US--except for the president--and we not only have no idea who he is, he is completely anonymous on the web site.
Ah, well. I guess he has one last step before rock bottom, which would be paying people to ride with him.

Usually you don't see pictures like this in the video rental place's front room, know what I'm saying?

There's a pink Speedo under those pants.
