This isn't directed specifically at you Boxerfanatic, but more at the internet in general:
Inception does not mean multiple layers of things inside things. Inception means the beginning of something or the first of something. So, the picture here of "Mini Truck-Ception" should be the first Mini-Truck ever.
The word the entire internet is searching for is Recursion. More specifically the "Droste Effect" or "Mise en Abyme" when referring to images or art.
Please do not participate in the further degeneration of the English language.

Understood...
But I don't think that is a meme you'll be able to curb.
_-ception, is 'catchier' than _-recursion, or -DrosteEffect, or trying to figure out what "Mise en Abyme" means.
People know it as the name of a movie, Inception, in which the plot line is creating the inception of an idea by infiltrating a dream within a dream within a dream.
The inception isn't the layers, it is the origination of the idea, but it is like a joke...
If you have to explain it all the time, and be particular, it falls down quickly, and people stop trying to convey the point altogether, and just don't say anything.
So, perhaps that is another way to go for me, next time.

I know it's too late to stop the meme, and it's just me being picky, but it still annoys me. I haven't had my morning coffee yet, and I let my annoyance spill out.
Cool mini truck though, I love wood panelled trays. There is a mechanic at the local bus depot who drives a Morris Minor pickup, with a beautiful maple tray. That is truly a mini-truck.
