MX-3 at Burning Man
Posted: September 4th, 2008, 8:47 pm
While @ "The Burn" I rode around the 40ish miles of streets constantly, because even doing this, I still missed ALOT. This year, I rode with my girlfriend on a motorized tandem bicycle, and did about 200 miles. All the while, I had an eye out for an MX-3. I figured with about 90,000 revellers, almost all with style, I'd see at least one. However, the way we build the city is; we take a spot on a block (the city starts out as a series of 12 streets in concentric circles, divided by radial streets, marked by their location on a clock, e.g., 12:00, 12:30, 1:00, etc..) A person, or mostly, camp of people take a spot, park their vehicles in the middle, and put their structures up to the street... So you don't usually see the vehicles. I didn't see an MX-3 until we got to the first town big enough to stop on the way back. I knew it had been there by the dust on it, and the telltale "necessities" it was packed with, from floor to ceiling, and around the drivier. To me, an MX-3 being there is as important as seeing it in a movie, or on TV. I kind of hoped to see one made into an Art Car, but am glad that I didn't, since vehicles that resemble normal automobiles aren't allowed to drive in the city, except to get to your spot.
Anyway, here it is:

I hoped that someone would ask why I was taking a picture of their car, but it takes ALOT to get a rise out of this crowd
He probably wouldn't have broken his stride if I were taking a picture of naked girls on his car.
