In Memory of Cousin Jeff.

Burning Man

is the anual motorized couch festival in northern Nevada.

First Couch was the MoChairs. The wheels only fell off - well, both years it went. 2000 and 2001

see the movie.
The Red Couch
Electric. Caught fire.

Three Wheeled Sociable with rear wheel steering and independant front wheel drive.
Tips over easily.
2004 - The Raising Up Couch. Not the most creative name. The drive was six elecric fan motors. What were we thinking?
2005 - The Blue Couch.
Gas powered. Lot's of flats, but Jeff was a good opperator.
2006 - The Aerothrone
Difficult to steer, but basically didn't break down.
2007 - New improved Aerothrone
We were driving on the playa and all the controls became unresponsive. Couldn't turn or slow down or lower the scissors. Lamp post up ahead. Next stop...
2008 We added more scissors to the latest couch because it wasn't enough of a death trap. Now we call it
Chair Way to Heaven.
2009 We added canopy, Retro-Rocket Speakers, Infinity Arm rests, Steampunk colors and hundreds of LEDs.
2010 - New engine and improved electronics but basically identical to 2009. Added smoke machine.
2011 - Whiz Bang Parlor Car Four Person Pedal Powered Car Designed for Playa, Water, Sand and Rail.
