The massive debris field scattered across the Qatari desert suggests the car was traveling at very high speed, rendering any amount of carbon-fiber protection useless.
(Also, we'd like to point out while we do not believe SLR Guy was to blame for the destruction of this particular SLR, without more information we're unable to further speculate. — Ed.)

<![CDATA[The End Of The Douchiness Is At Hand, Now Vote For The Best "SLR Guy" Entry!]]> Well, this crazy mixed up SLR Guy photo chopping game has been a laugh riot, but all good things must come to an end. After a marathon gallery and a follow up with all the late entries, we've finally cut off submissions and it's time for you to make the final choice. Today we pitch our fifteen favorites and we'll let you vote on who takes home the fabulous prizes. That's right we said fifteen, hey, you try narrowing it down to only ten when you get well over three hundred entries — some of them were just too good to leave out. So without further ado, and in no particular order, the SLR Guy greatest hits.


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

Jar-Jar-Guy.jpgAny 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.

SLR_Jones.jpgWe 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.

Statham-SLR.jpgWe 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.

TG-USA-SLR.jpgThis 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.

SLR-Enzo-Crash.jpgAnd 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.

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

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

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

Carbonite-SLR.jpgOkay, 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.

Which-one-has-herpes.jpgOh, so rich. So much comedy here. The perfect combination of "aw damn" with "I shoulda known better."

chitty-chitty-SLR.jpg 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.

Wert-SLR.jpgWe'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!

SLR-Guy-with-Staff.jpgThis 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.

SLR-Max-Mosley.jpgHow 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.

<![CDATA[SLR Guy Spreads Like Yeast Infection, Hits The Car Lounge At VWVortex]]> We have to say we're having a good ol' time enjoying the SLR Guy p-chops you've created the last few days. But that doesn't mean we've gotten enough yet. It seems SLR Guy has made its way into The Car Lounge at VWVortex and some of their best and brightest have given it the old college try as well. Hit the jump to see their hard work in action.


The folks over there seem to have hit on the "put all the internet memes together" idea. Obviously, we love the brilliant "church lady" option, but the others aren't shabby either. Kudos to those clever Vortexers. [The Car Lounge At VWVortex]
