Wed, January 24, 2007 - 1:36 AMthe treasury dept of your local govt might auction off vehicles. when i lived in PA i used to go to the NJ auction to snag vehicles. i got some fairly decent rides for less than 200 bucks. the trucks/vans tend to sell for a lil more. you could also try craigslist, your local paper, and auto trader. i have a truck i'm selling but i'm in FL so it does you no good. -

i helped purchase a van for 600 in SF to take to BM, on way to event it died once, it died in Gerlach once....and all i can say, is becareful about what you buy and if it is at all fragile take your own mechanic, it saved my sanity!

Few vehicles are able to pull it off and copy cats should be forewarned that it takes far more than a few treats and more like tens of thousands to be approved by the DMV. Hottie consensus is that gift givers have no problem raising a crowd in a static location or camp.

Exceptional mutant vehicles defy replication and have few venues for display outside the playa, with many representing originality in singular form and function.
