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.
