Mutant Vehicle Notes
Part of the Lightbringer project. This post is preserved from the original blog.
I’m using this to post a few notes and photos related to a mutant vehicle application I’m putting in for this year’s Burning Man. This post is really just for collecting additional data for the application, I’ll fill in more details later.
