Is your community contribution enhanced by motion?
"After 10 burns my experience trying to get a license last year was just dreadful." shellymost
Each year border line applicants are warned that unless they continue the mutation of their vehicle, an invitation to the playa in future years is doubtful. Base vehicle recognition for all but the largest mutants has become unacceptable unless the community contribution is remarkable.
"My base vehicle is badass. I don't want to cover it up. I add to it and make it a super pimpin playa roving assault to your senses!!!!"

Vehicles that offer little more than a large sound system could just as well entertain the community in a static location. One of the often heard complaints about MV's is the disrespect they show to the community with loud audio intrusions at art installations, playa performances and the inner city streets.
An attitude of entitlement for mobile transportation is unrealistic in light of the fact that only around 1 percent of the attendants to the event or a little over 500 mutants have typically been approved for license. With the "creative inflation" of 50,000 citizens of Black Rock City, some vehicles approved in past years are finding they need to consider what they offer for us all and not just themselves.
