I wrote to one of the guys who builds these things for advice on wheels. I mean, little tiny wheels don't like the desert. I guess if you don't plan to drive through the soft spots, they work out all right. I plan to not have to avoid soft spots. So I will build big terrain-capable wheels. Yes, build. No one makes what I need. At least conceptually, the wheel problem is nearly solved! I just need to execute. That will involve money, time, labor, and skills I don't have. Can't wait!

Do they intend to bake cupcakes using the fire from the burning man figure?
It occurs to me that this event brings out the most ... interesting ... parts of our psyches.
Nom!
Dave Letterman demo'd one on his show over the holidays. Very fun!
I'm late to this, but have you been going to Burning Man for a while, or is this your first year?
This'll be Year Three for me, and my first attempt at a Mutant Vehicle (very small, battery powered).
Is it possible you're having the same experience I've had with this whole leaving my marriage thing...? Extra sources of creativity exploding out of you?
I have a couple of friends who went to Burning Man often before they moved east, and they were always building things for it...the husband portion of the couple is kind of an engineering type (although not an engineer) and it kind of fascinates me who gets drawn out there every year. I couldn't do it. Too much of everything. I think I'd freak, even without chemicals.
