Muffler Man

Apparently they have repaired the Muffler Man in Dunsmuir, CA. We spotted him as we were going south on Interstate 5 (he is on the right side). He is in the area of the Texaco and the Motel 6. He now has brown hair, white shirt, and blue pants.

Neglected Muffler Man

Last year on my vacation, my car broke down near Dunsmuir, CA. I was stranded there for three days while waiting for a part -- you know the old story. I found this muffler man lying on his back behind Dwight's Repair and Towing.
