Valley Home appears to be out of business, and the sign is falling apart. The people at the gas station just down the street don't even know that it exists.

I visited Pahrump recently to see the Texaco Big Friend. He stands in front of Valley Homes at 1400 South Highway 160. While taking photos, I happened to walk around behind the sign, and learned the horrifying truth about this poor Big Friend -- HE'S BEEN PROBED BY ALIENS!

A once proud Mufffler Man [RA: actually a Texaco Big Friend] now sells new houses for Valley Homes in Pahrump NV. His arms are empty, but ready to cradle a new house. His hat looks like he should be a member of Robin Hood"s merry band of thieves. Maybe he is.
