We've reached the final prize of our week's worth of 2008 Autoblog Holiday Sweepstakes, and we think we've saved the best for last. The prize for Day 7 is a DashDAQ Series II valued at $549. If you're unfamiliar with DashDAQ and what this little box can do, let us enlighten you. The DashDAQ is an open-source, Linux-based computer for you car. Plug it into your OBD-II diagnostic port and the DashDAQ can display your car's vitals on its 4-inch color touchscreen in five ways: analog gauges, digital gauges, slider bars, graphs or a simulated dashboard. It can diagnose trouble codes; display your fuel economy in real time; record performance data like 0-60, braking and top speed; be a lap timer; measure horsepower and torque (taking a breath)... well, you get the point. There's not much this little box can't do, including playing all forms of media like movies and music. You can even add a GPS Navigation Bundle to turn the DashDAQ into exactly what it looks like, a portable navigation system. We've extended the entry period for this sweepstakes to noon EST on Friday, December 26th, so read below for instructions on how to enter to win this powerful in-car computer.

HOW TO ENTER:

• Leave a single comment on this post (if you leave two or more, all of your comments will be disqualified)
• You must be 18 years or older and a resident of the US or Canada (excluding Quebec)
  
• Limit 1 entry per person during entry period

We suspect that one of the most popular gift this holiday season will be portable navigation systems. Their prices are plummeting and every day new features are being added to these magical maps-in-a-box. TomTom is arguably one of the biggest and best manufacturers of portable nav systems, so we're proud to be giving away a TomTom XL330·S on Day 6 of the 2008 Autoblog Holiday Sweepstakes.

The XL330·S features a 4.3-inch widescreen for easy viewing, an EasyPort mount that folds into the back of the unit, TomTom's Map Share technology that allows you to edit your own maps and incorporate the edits of other users and it's RDS-TMC traffic ready. Of course, TomTom has a full line of portable nav systems that range in price from $99.95 to $449.95, which is still about 1/4 the cost of an OEM nav system. Read below on how to enter to win your own TomTom XL330·S.

The holiday gifts keep on comin' courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Autoblog and partners such as Rob Ijbema. You may remember not too long ago that we featured Rob's website, Car-A-Day, on Autoblog. We were duly impressed with his ability to paint cars on a daily basis, and apparently so were you as more than a few Autoblog readers supported the artist's efforts by buying some of his work through the Car-A-Day website. As a thank you for the support and appreciation, Rob graciously donated one of his works as a prize for our 2008 Autoblog Holiday Sweepstakes.

Titled "A German affair at St. Petersburg", the painting depicts this past year's Acura Sports Car Challenge of St. Petersburg in which the Audi R10 #2 driven by Marco Werner and Lucas Luhr bested the Porsche RS Spyder piloted by Timo Bernhard and Romain Dumas. Ijbema's painting style captures the movement and atmosphere perfectly, and believe me when I say it looks better in person. Read below for instructions on how to enter and keep an eye out early next week when the 2008 Autoblog Holiday Sweepstakes continues.

HOW TO ENTER:

• Leave a single comment on this post (if you leave two or more, all of your comments will be disqualified)

ALSO, if you weren't a winner of the Snake and the Stallion on DVD, you can still buy a copy from Spirit Level Films with £10 off by CLICKING HERE and using coupon code AUTOBLOG01.

Today's prizes come courtesy of Spirit Level Films, which has a real treat in store for Autoblog readers. We're giving away copies of both C'était un Rendezvous and the Snake and the Stallion on DVD to five lucky Autoblog readers.

For those who don't know, C'était un Rendezvous is largely considered the best driving scene ever captured on film, with Jeremy Clarkson himself saying, "Makes Bullitt look like a cartoon." While only nine minutes long, the uninterrupted footage of director Claude Lelouch's lawless race through Paris is the most jaw-dropping driving scene you'll ever see on film. Thanks to Spirit Level Films, you can now watch the DVD legally on your livingroom's giant flatscreen rather than a little window on YouTube.

The Snake and the Stallion, meanwhile, is the most definitive documentary on how Carroll Shelby and his Cobras took on the mighty Enzo Ferrari in motorsport during the 1960s. Written, produced and directed by Richard Symons, the two-disc set also features original interviews with all the participants, footage of the original races and newly filmed reconstructions with the original cars (Ferrari GTO, 250 SWB, Cobras and Daytona Coupe) on the track. Check out trailers for both films after the jump and read the instructions below on how to enter.

BONUS: Spirit Level Films is offering £10 off the normal £24.99 price of the Snake and the Stallion just for Autoblog readers. Click here and enter coupon code AUTOBLOG01 for the reduced price of just £14.99 ($22.41 USD).

We begin our 2008 Autoblog Holiday Sweepstakes with a few items to bolster your library of auto-related books. All three come courtesy of Motorbooks, the world's leading publisher and distributor of enthusiast books. The first, Nissan GT-R: Legendary Performance, Engineering Marvel, is a coffee table book that chronicles the recent history of the Nissan GT-R from the R32 to today's R35. If you like looking at large, full color pictures of the world's hottest car, this one's for you. The second book is called Barris Cars of the Stars and pairs the famous custom car builder with his A-list clients, everyone from the Beach Boys to Barry White. Finally we have a curious little paperback called You Are What You Drive that features illustrations of particular models accompanied by clinical and comical examinations of what those vehicles say about their owners. All three would make great gifts for your auto-obsessed loved one, so read up on how to enter below. Also visit Motorbooks.com for more auto-related reading that would fit nicely in someone's stocking.
