In 2016, I was responsible for the design, fabrication, transportation, sound and operation of the vehicle. In 2017, I reached out to every professional I knew for advise.

Irony

By: Irony

Hometown: Reno Nevada (Born in Brisbane Australia)

At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed.” – Frederick Douglass Don’t be fooled by her rusty sheet iron patina or cargo of pickled convicts. This car is the hardest working appliance at the Burn (incl handhelds!) and its owners might also argue, the most beautiful. Rusty panels cover her like battle scars of Burns gone by… Some won… more lost.. but ironing out the creases of the Black Rock City playa is a full-time and often thankless task that this “Lil engine that could”, has continued to dust herself off and embrace since 2014. She often idles but rarely sleeps. Not always the first car to arrive, but usually the last to leave. This MV is a rattling, coughing, stalling reminder that, the “ugly ones” always work harder for it, as the 1,000’s of Burners that have enjoyed a ride in her red velvet interior will attest. To quote Ron Jeremy “Quantity has a quality all of its own!” Viva la Irony!

Serenity

By: Paco

Hometown: Salt Lake City

Serenity started out in the back yard of an antique store. She was a WW2 drop tank that was attached to military planes. She was used to drop flares, paper leaflets with warnings and supplies from her belly. When I found her she was filled with leaves from a few decades ago. I had to have her, I had to give her a new life of gifting to others. She can now give a ride to those in need or a drink to those who are thirsty or she can simply be seen in her beauty as burners stand back and admire her mutated sprit, sole, and transformation. Everything about her had a different life. She is made from salvaged recycled parts, from school chairs to a bone yard of crashed, given up ATV’s and speakers covered in dust in a corner of a pawn shop.

TRION

By: FOMO team

Hometown: Mexico City

A moving temple of light and sound, based on sacred geometry and designed as a musical stage. At its core is the triangle — the fundamental form of the structure and a central symbol in sacred geometry, representing balance, ascension, and connection. It creates an immersive experience through music, light, and collective energy, bringing people together and uniting them through sound in a shared moment in the desert. Blending ancient symbolic ideas with modern technology, it becomes more than an art car — a luminous triangular form moving through the night, creating moments of energy, connection, and collective experience.

WarPony has ample seating for all the folks we can cram on her, and a little bit more seating on top of that. Please. Please don’t sit on the hood. Otherwise, you can scramble all around her and. Well. Tetanus is at your own risk. She’s tall and fun!
