Yes, our theme was "Any Which Way But LOSE!"

To understand the necessity of this theme, you have to 
hearken back to this picture from Day 1 of the 2008 race:

Ultimately for the mishap, we were penalized an hour at the beginning
of the second day of driving.  So we figured, if the judges couldn't
tell which way we were facing, no penalty.  The judges loved the
theme.  Also, you cannot see in the pictures, but our "co-driver" has
his right hand up flipping the bird out the back window.  His hand moves 
back and forth while driving, and the steering wheel rotates in corners
(courtesy of a pendulum hanging off the bottom).  We heard from
other drivers that the effect was hilarious to watch when chasing us.
