As summer ends, I wanted to point optimistically to the promise of summers future. I've waited all my life for the adult toy above, and there it is as an inflatable concept car.

Unfortunately, close up you'll see there's nobody in these cars. There can't be -- they'd sink. These Morris Minis can be pulled behind motorboats and they'll stay up for the same reason water skis do -- the forward motion of the speeding boat creates enough water pressure from below to keep the skier afloat.

The Mini Inflatables are just a promotional tool from Access Agency, the ad agency spinoff of The Cool Hunter.

But, someday....
