UPDATE: This contest has ended and the winner has been chosen. We've been wanting to hold another Photo Caption Contest for a while now, but we just haven't seen any pictures that intrigued us enough. That changed when we saw the picture below from photographer Mike Rowe. Today's contest is sponsored by Porsche Design Driver's Selection (PDDS). If your caption is picked as the winner you'll receive a gift from PDDS valued at $175. Consisting of a painted metal board and 5 magnetic cars, this nostalgic piece is painted in the same design as a historic motorsport poster from 1964. Limited to only 2000 sets this is one of Porsche Design Driver's Selections best selling items and will make a great addition to your garage or refrigerator.
