2013-03-28 09.54.24Hi! I’m from Austria! In case you forget this important detail, don’t worry; it’s painted right here, on my ass.

I’m a repurposed garbage truck from a Baghdad slum that has been converted into an RV camper van by my Wagner-listening Austrian owners. We’re currently on tour around the world, spreading the message that one man’s garbage truck is another Austrian’s weekend whip.

Here’s some interesting facts about me:

* I get 5 miles per gallon. It cost approximately 150,000 euros to drive me from my native Austria here to Moab, where I am currently parked at City Market. We pay for this gas in our stash of Nazi Gold, hidden right in my caboose.

* ATV riding is illegal in Austria because every inch of land is owned by Baron Von Blitzschlag. That is why we’re here in Moab, where there are no rules about ripping around in a sweet-ass ATV. We love that shit!

*Austria is the birthplace of PEZ!

* Did I mention that I’m from Austria!

    I love the fact that you have a useless, relic of gas-guzzling parked in your market place. But Austrians are your cousins. You are part Germanic and the Austrians might not be as bad as you seem to think!
