| Kick ass at night! Is it VW powered? Once-upon-a-time you couldn't have fossil powered stuff in the inner circle. What are the rules now? |

Burning Man has many rules and objectives. I believe there are 10 or so of them that circle around environmentally sound practices, anti-consumerism, respect for your fellow man, etc.
I'd assume that bus is a standard ac driven, look at the other cars in the background. I doubt that's a battery pack in that '99 4runner.

I wonder how many of the participants walked to the event?

there are three pages of rules that they send you with your tickets
most of them are about respecting others and the land it's on
my wife said she didn't see that bus last year maybe that a old pic

I doubt that "respect" carries over to bathing and personal hygene... What about not exposing others to your gawdawful personal funk?. And just like all the "green-environmental rallies and protests"... NOBODY walked or pedaled their way there. |

| I think rule #1 is that you can't set fire to the burning man until they say you can. |

Actually, that got them more press so they were probably OK with it.
Oh, and the bus that is the subject of this thread is probably registered with Black Rock City LLC as a "Mutant Vehicle" so it can be driven around. |

I didn't notice til you pointed it out. Looks like it's got panel vents upon closer inspection...deluxe front bumper, too.

there were a bunch of buses there two years ago.
http://www.vwbuscamp.com/
I saw a pretty clean 62 DC that was not part of the camp.
I will be going this year in my bus, not mutant though just to live in! |

Cha, bro, totally. I thought maybe it went to the outer cirlcles to pick up people. Imagine a whirring electric motor with the sound of flickering torches in pitch black with all those other sounds and lights around and swinging around...baddddddd. An electric neon tired high wheel bike glides by. A naked girl with a phosphorescent tramp stamp sachets in front. |
