We provided four early-50s-vintage Lucas Electrics ads, and contestants could modify one or more of them. We got some bonus remixed ads that weren't among the four; they don't count for winning the prize, but we'll include them in the gallery for your enjoyment. Now, here are the finalists. Vote early and often!

2. 1351.83 Failures An Hour, by The Triborough Organization

3. 131.83 Miles In A Jaguar, by lumpyone

4. Making The Japanese Look Even Better, by Brickyard

5. New Friends Every Day, by Beni

6. Now My Car Won't Run, by Zachary

7. Better Buy A Case, by Brickyard

8. I'm Filing For Divorce, by Stuntdriver.

Any astute poll-watcher could have probably predicted this outcome by the resounding victory in the first round of Civic Kid Photoshop Contest voting, but now it's official, by sheer force of clever and talent, Old-timey Civic Kid wins. In the grand prize voting round, out of a total 930 votes registered at the time the polls closed at 12:00PM noon eastern standard time, it garnered a commanding 461 votes, a decisive 38% victory over nearest opponent, Back to the Future Civic Kid.

Congratulations Robert, and as promised you now have the right to the very last "I Am the Hoon Of The Day" t-shirt as well as your choice of Jezebel or Jalopnik beer pong balls. Shoot me an email at ben@jalopnik.com and let me know your commenter account name and if you don't have one, we'll award you a shiny new star along with getting your prize details all worked out.

Many thanks to all who submitted entries and good luck next time, and for those who might have missed it, click through in the gallery to view all 71 original entrants:

So here we are perched on the precipice of one of you commenters claiming victory. The polls will be open until Thursday at noon EST at which time we'll close down the voting and name the victor, awarding the grand prize of immortal glory and or a fancy commenter star if you don't have one, a set of your choice of either Jezebel or Jalopnik beer pong balls and the very last "I Am the Hoon Of The Day" t-shirts. So, with such rare prizes out there, all the voters need to anguish over their choice, really dig down deep into the artistic content of each image and compare it against other legendary works of imagination. That, or pick the one that makes you laugh. So get to it, and good luck to all the finalists.

Standard contest rules apply.

Lucas Electrical Components advertised heavily in Autocar magazine in the early 1950s, so I've scanned a quartet of their ads from that era. Your job: to modify one or more of the chosen ads in the most entertaining fashion you can manage; I've primed the pump with a lame-o version that took me all of 45 seconds to create (see above). Don't worry about the challenges of extracting the images from the clutches of the Gawker Server Hamsters' galleries, because you can download hi-res versions of the ads from the MurileeMartin.com webserver.

So, what do you win? Hey, when we promise fabulous prizes, we deliver; the best Prince Of Darkness Photoshopper (or GIMPer, or Irfanviewer, or whatever image-modifying tool you prefer) will get a copy of this fancy coffee-table book about Dean Jeffries! Email me your entries, and I'll put the best ones in a post later on.

There will be two rounds of voting with all entrants in the first round competing directly against each other. Everybody gets a vote which they can apply to whatever Civic Kid they like. Then, when we close the polls Tuesday at noon, we'll pick out the top ten most popular and you can vote for your favorites out of the finalists. Keep in mind, we'll grant the overall winner immortal glory and or a fancy commenter star if you don't have one - also a set of your choice of either Jezebel or Jalopnik beer pong balls and the very last "I Am the Hoon Of The Day" t-shirts. Good luck, and may the Civic Kid be strong with you.

Like the original blockbuster of stupid, we've got no background on this image, just a kid in a track suit doing the old devil horns and looking like Frankie Munez with a shiner — only dorkier. He might have gotten it rolling his super-awesome Civic with J-spec seat covers, or just an onlooker. It matters not, this is an image ripe for foolishness. In fact, we've taken the bull by the horns and made the first.

So here's the deal, you guys do your worst best at creating the funny and we'll do two rounds of voting on the results — e-mail us your photoshop work to the aptly-named photoshop@jalopnik.com. You have until Wednesday at noon to submit your entries. We'll grant the overall winner immortal glory and or a fancy commenter star if you don't have one — also a set of your choice of either Jezebel or Jalopnik beer pong balls and the very last "I Am the Hoon Of The Day" t-shirts. Good luck, and make sure to keep it clean. (Hat tip to dolo54)

Some say he has a tattoo of a Saleen S7 on his rear end. Others tell us he was born with a penchant for oil rather than his mum's milk. All we know is he's called the Auto Insider and he's always ready to provide the scoop from the other side of Eight Mile.

Submit entries either in the comments section below or to autoinsider@jalopnik.com and please use the subject line “GM-Chrysler Mashup Photoshop Contest." Make sure to name your entry something unique so we can keep them all straight. As always, standard contest rules apply and submissions will be accepted until Wednesday, October 29, 2008, at 12:01 AM so we can vote for the winner later this week.

And oh yeah, "The Challamaro" — that's right below.
Good luck to all you ‘choppers!

The brilliance or this is the combination of the also hilarious "Enzo Dude" and the horrifyingly famous scene from "Ferris Bueller's Day Off".

Any time Jar-Jar "Douche" Binks shows up in a 'shop contest, it's practically a shoo-in for funny, we liked it because it tells you all need to know about the character in one expression.

We actually think George Lucas and Steven Spielberg should consider changing the name of their latest effort and digitally "enhancing" it with the SLR Guy character. It would probably end up better than what we saw in theaters.

We like this one both for the topical nature or the pending Deathrace movie, but also respect the quality of the chop itself, note the fine matching of shading — nicely done.

This one takes advantage of the big Top Gear USA news and how we didn't really notice how Tanner Foust looks shockingly like SLR Guy. Clever... very clever.

And then there's the famous wreck of the Stefan Eriksson, the Enzo which started the Save the Enzo's wave, the most famous supercar wreck in recent memory. SLR Guy with the inevitable entry.

The "Icy Hot Stunaz," SLR Guy. Match made in heaven.

Does the SLR Guy jump the shark? Maybe, but we loved the combo of the Fonz and SLR Guy's expression. Inspired work fine commenter.

This one caught us completely off guard. Combine the childhood joy of Where's Waldo with the adult joy of ridiculing people on the internet.

Okay, maybe we're showing our nerd colors here, but Hans SLR here had us laughing for quite a bit. That business of overlaying characters from a galaxy far, far away is pretty amusing.

Oh, so rich. So much comedy here. The perfect combination of "aw damn" with "I shoulda known better."

This is a fabulous use of words on a page. Of course Chitty Chitty Douche Bag makes sense, just say it out loud. You can't help but chuckle.

We're amazed with this one in that our intrepid 'shopper managed to fill the foreground of the original image with the sweaty, snarly image of el-Wert-o during his first ever appearance on CNBC. Amazing!

This one cracks us up if for now other reason than the obvious pandering and brilliant use of Mark's staff photo. Also, look, there's Matt! It's like they were actually there.

How could we not include SLR Guy with everyone's favorite Nazi-themed orgy aficionado? Oh Max Mosley, what would we do without you?

Oh, and what about those prizes? We got a pile of swag from Ford at the Ford Racing Invitational, and we're more than happy to pass it along. How about a limited edition, 1 of 500, commemorative 2005 Grand-Am Champion Ford Mustang FR500C model, new in box for first place. Second will be getting a very nice Ford Racing ball cap and third will get a selection of three Ford Racing beverage cozies. See the gallery below. Okay kids, that's it, vote early and vote often, and congratulations to the finalists.

We've provided everything you need, oh master of the imagery arts, to develop this man — who we will forever refer to as "SLR Guy" — into comedic gold. HERE you will find the original image, readily available for download. When you're done — send them to me at ben@jalopnik.com and the best choices will be provided for our readership to vote on. Go forth and be bold, our ninjas of the funny, and history will smile sweetly upon you. (Kyle is a tipster God)

Instead of being only a contest for Photoshop whiz kids, for this one, we'll be giving bonus points to those who use the crudest software drawing package. If you send us a design using ASCII, you've got a better chance at winning than the guy using MSPaint who has a leg up on the guy using Photoshop. This is not to say the people using P-Shop can't win. Perhaps he or she uses a design completely consisting of a mosaic of kittens duplicated with the stamp tool. Be creative, be inventive, be original, and use curves, heavens knows Scion didn't. Send us your submissions via a post on this thread, or directly to myself at the address on the sidebar by Wednesday of next week. We'll cull the initial entries and let you all vote on the winner, then that lucky artist will see both of those sweet Scion hats arriving by mail for the efforts. Good luck, and may the best crappiest design win.
