The Muffler Family in Lake Elsinore, CA, has grown recently, with a new figure - a Golfer! I always enjoy viewing the muffler family when I drive by to visit my friends on this side of the lake. Recently, our local paper, "The Press-Enterprise" did a great story on this famous muffler family, including how they are inspired in their muffler creations, and included some nice pictures.
