According to this report, if you want a low-key, peaceful ride through Nevada’s Black Rock Desert, Burning Man festival is not the place to get it. And don’t take comfort in the fact the annual gathering’s outrageously styled art-cars must be registered with Burning Man’s own DMV. “It stands for Department of Mutant Vehicles,” David Best, a Burning Man veteran whose most iconic art car resembles a rocket, straight out of the 1950s, drily told The California Post.
Creating the inventive “mutant” rides - typically modified automobile chassis reassembled to look like chrome animals, desert galleons, dragons or spaceships - does not come cheap.
As Kevin Clark, the force behind the fierce looking Rhino Redemption, put it to The Post, “Whatever you think you want to spend on a car, you can at least double it. I’ve probably spent over a couple hundred thousand on the Rhino. Some cars are so extravagant they cost more than a million dollars to build.”
Must be nice to be rich. And a little bit crazy, huh?
