Burning Man 2010

The Pup was built as a handicap licensed mutant vehicle for Burning Man 2009. One of the accommodations that Burning Man makes, as do the rules required by the Bureau of Land Management and law enforcement, is the issuance of motored vehicle licenses for those with disabilities and limited mobility. My parents had been traveling to Burning Man since 2003, my mom qualified for the license and needed something interesting to drive.
