Sunday! Sunday! Sunday! God, I wish the weekend were here. Mini spoofs monster-truck rallies to the max in this fun clip from Amsterdam shop BSUR. A five-ton mega-truck attempts to jump four Minis.

The process was developed by eggheads at MIT, probably between designing micro-nuclear weapons for the Department of Defense and social games for Apple—or vice versa.
