This oil barrel is directly across the alley from our new place, as far as I can tell the fat dudes that live there have no interest in MX. So I'm assuming it was left there by previous owners.....
Me and Rach moved recently and there is all sorts of strange shit in the new area. This German "firestation" van is right up the alley from our place. It just showed up one day. Now I see the thing all the time when I'm ripping around the East Side. Not sure if it has something to do with the olympics or not....
