I have to give props to the Minis that showed up in a recent 'You're Doing it Wrong' gallery—the Jersey Shore motif, decked out to look like boardwalk bumper cars. Brilliant, I say.

@Daniel Reed: In my past life as a newspaper reporter, circa 1990, I got to ride in this. In my writeup, I simply surrendered to the pun impulse, which worked well once I got on a roll.
