Cool, I've always wondered why there is nothing like this for general rides. Why niche on burning man, why not a general ride board?

Hey stkryzsiak - funny you should mention that. The company behind BurningManRides.com, Ridejoy (where I'm a co-founder) is something like a "general ride board".

We make it easy and fast to match with friendly people going your way. We're mostly on the West Coast right now but growing quickly. Check us out at: http://ridejoy.com

In France / Europe we have http://covoiturage.fr / http://blablacar.com which is pretty popular (2 million members in Europe it seems).

Ridejoy doesn't look like they're working that well... maybe a cultural difference?

I believe it's the same guys running RideJoy, which is a YC company
N/M, after scrolling down I saw the burning man ticket giveaway by ride joy, who seem to offer that service: http://ridejoy.com/
