Let's hope they don't add lasers to it. I can outrun it as it is now, but that won't do me any good if I get vaporized.

That is awesome. I would love to build something like that, but I have no idea where to start.

That thing doesn't look like it will be winning any races anytime soon.

Eh, your better off going to one of these outdoor music festivals, 10KL (10 thousand lakes) in Minnesota, or Langerdoo in Florida, or Vegoos in uh Vegas, but not Bonnaroo. MTV sucked the soul out of that one. (which ones next I wonder quietly to myself)

I used to be obsessed with the idea of going to Burning Man when I was 16 and hanging out with hippies at the hippie house. I would still love to go...but finding the time and funds and transportation makes it kind of hard.

I love it when they made fun of Burning Man in that episode of South Park.
