Every summer, in the sweltering heat of the Nevada desert, 50,000 people come together for an event called Burning Man. This year’s gathering kicks off next Monday, August 30, and to celebrate we’ve thrown together a little photo gallery of the various art cars people have constructed for use there over the years.

After the jump are 120 amazing art cars, ranging from boomboxes to birthday cakes to animals and everything in between. If you think we’ve missed one that deserves to be included, please feel free to drop us a line.
