Joor Muffler Man

There is a muffler man outside a muffler shop in our town. Escondido is north of San Diego, on I-15. Just drive west on Valley Parkway and look for the corner of Juniper and Valley Parkway. Our muffler man gets a Santa Claus suit at Christmas time.

[ Jeff Rust, 02/05/1997]

Tipster Elizabeth Burkett adds: "What is really great about him is that he has a pencil-thin moustache and a distinctly Latino appearance. In my household we call him 'Rahoolio, the Muffler Man of Love.'"
