As I was surfing around various Porsche sites the other day I stumbled upon the picture below at our friend Kevin Gosselin's website (you may remember Kevin as the author of Hunt for 901). After a quick chat with Kevin to make sure he was okay with it (thanks Kevin!), I decided to run our first ever Porsche Caption Contest (if this one is a success we'll do others with more prizes - see the end of this post for more details).
The Rules
- Look at the picture above. If you want to see a larger version of it, just give it a click.
- Using the comment form at the end of this post let us know your idea for a caption (if you're viewing this post via email simply click on the title or the comment link at the bottom to visit the site).
- Submit your comment sometime between now and the 11:59 pm EST on 10-20-2010.
- We (that's John and I) will pick our favorite from among the entries and notify the winner via email and by adding a comment below.
Win a $50 Gift Certificate from Griot's Garage
Our newest sponsor, Griot's Garage, generously offered a $50 buck gift certificate to the winner of our little contest. If you're chosen, we'll reach out to you. Simply give us your address, we'll pass it along to Griot's and they will mail it directly to you.
How Else You Can Win
We have plenty of sponsors ready to give away lots of great stuff for future contests (e.g. Flying Lizard team gear, cases of Mobil1 oil, Gift Certificates for Service Work, RC Cars, Die-Cast Models, Books, etc., etc.). All we need are great pictures to use for future contests. If you have a funny or interesting Porsche related picture you think is a good fit for a caption contest send it along to us at captioncontest@flatsixes.com. If we use your photo we'll send you a PorschePurist shirt just to say thanks.

If the measure of success for a Photo Caption Contest is the number of entries then I think we did fairly well. With 70+ entries it made the job of choosing a winner much harder. All of you had great ideas and there was much deliberation before choosing the winning entry.
The winner of the $50 Griot’s gift certificate is Chris W for “Quick, duck into that parking lot to the left. Dammit-He’s still on our tail. I just can’t seem to lose him…”
Chris, please use the contact form to send us a message with your full name, address and phone number. We’ll pass it along to Griots and get your prize off to you ASAP. Thanks again to everyone that participated and stay tuned for our next Photo Caption Contest in November!!!

Sure, you laugh now – but just wait until I weld the rear half of this 914 onto the front half of a 911. It will be a completely new model. I think I’ll call it a Boxster.
