My big samoan lawyer and I will be heading down there next year to cover the story!

The fat and skinny penguins made me laugh, as did the giant-crawling-baby vehicle. Well, until that wrinkly old butt showed up. Eeeew.

I wonder if the big solar bike was actually solar powered, or if it was just fake panels.

Interesting note about the XSR: The XS had the wrap-around rear window with t-tops. The XSR was a one-off by ASC that had power operated t-tops…they would slide over each other.

There is only 1 in existence and 1 produced by GM and ASC, and for a long time it was in Louisiana where my dad had met the owner (that’s how I found out about it). As is typical of many Louisianians, the guy lost the car to the IRS after doing some embezzling. Now it resides somewhere in the northeast.

jkross22 : A few of my friends have been going for a while. They’re a random assortment of people. BM lasts about a week, and not everyone goes naked. The alkalai salt dries out your skin.

Do any of these people have jobs, or are they all lawyers, architects, etc? Seriously, I wonder where does one get the time to set all this up to wander around the desert surrounded by old, naked people.

I’m not sure that Burning Man is for me. But my ex-wife’s family loved Toronados (as did I), and had one just like that picture. They even bought an 1981 with a diesel.

And that was the end…

It truly is amazing to see the vehicles abstract creativity combined with willfull ingnorance of engineering and safety mixed with pyrotechnics and LSD can yield, especially when decorated with boobies. Ahh I wish I were there.

I’d love to go at least once – just to see in person all the WTF moments that occur.

My favorite was the Segway-based telephone booth. Why couldn’t there have been some sort of warning about naked old-guy fannie? Well, with any video concerning Burning Man, I suppose that is to be expected.
