Imagine a world where art comes alive, pulsating with vibrant colors and rhythmic beats, where creativity knows no bounds. Welcome to Burning Man, where the spirit of self-expression thrives. And at the heart of this captivating event stands "The Dust Slug" - an extraordinary art car that's ready to make its mark on the playa. But it needs your support to bring its fantastical vision to life.

Standing tall at an impressive 20'x6'x7' in size, "The Dust Slug" is a mesmerizing masterpiece that commands attention. Its regal purple exterior beckons you closer, enticing you to embark on an unforgettable journey. Adorning its head are striking spikes that stand tall, like beacons of imagination. These spikes come alive with the magic of RGB LEDs, casting an enchanting glow upon the dusty desert landscape.

Built upon the sturdy base of a Warner Brothers studio set golf cart, this behemoth of art car engineering combines the strength of steel tubing with the elegance of rip stop fabric. It seamlessly marries form and function, ensuring a smooth and comfortable ride for its lucky passengers. And lucky they are, for "The Dust Slug" can accommodate up to 12 adventurous souls at once, allowing them to immerse themselves in the throbbing heart of Burning Man.

Prepare to be awestruck as the thunderous symphony of sound emanates from "The Dust Slug." With an awe-inspiring 4500 W of audio power, including four earth-shaking 15" subwoofers, this art car transcends boundaries, transforming the desert into a pulsating dance floor. As you become one with the music, you'll witness the fusion of art and rhythm, an experience that will reverberate in your soul.

In the vibrant community of Frothville, located at 9:45 and Esplanade, "The Dust Slug" will take its rightful place as a testament to human ingenuity and creativity. Its presence will inspire and captivate, attracting a multitude of curious souls who crave an escape from the mundane. This is your chance to be a part of this extraordinary journey.

"The Dust Slug" boasts a revolutionary hybrid multi-fuel engine, offering the freedom to roam the desert in full electric mode, glide smoothly on gas power, or embrace the warmth of propane. It symbolizes the spirit of innovation and sustainability that lies at the core of Burning Man, leaving behind nothing but footprints in the dust.
