Muffler Shorts
Description: Marvin 'Marv' Heemeyer had been in the muffler business since the late '70s, and after running a successful muffler shop in Boulder, Colorado for many years, he decided he wanted to a more rural lifestyle. In March 1992, Marv sold his shop in Boulder and purchased a 27-acre plot of land in neighboring Grand County with a small cabin on it. In nearby Granby, he picked up a two acre property and opened Mountain View Muffler in the Summer of 1992. Heemeyer's expertise in muffler repair earned him the nickname "Marv the Muffler Man," and he was said to be so good at his trade that he could change a muffler in 20 minutes flat. Sadly, Granby was less than welcoming, and Marv faced an uphill battle in a town that stacked the deck against him.

Description: If you've been around the Southern California hot rod scene for a while, you're probably familiar with Rocket Muffler, the Burbank shop that spent several decades doing custom exhaust work for drag, dry lake, and street racers alike. Their business cards advertised "Racket by Rocket" which was probably a hint to the kind of work they did in squeezing out just a little more horsepower out of V8 engines in exchange for a little noise. In addition to sponsoring numerous local SoCal racers in the '50s and '60s, they also kept a sign out front of their shop on West Magnolia Boulevard offering free welding repairs on kid's toys, wagons, and bikes. Talk about community service!
Description: Mechanical engineer humor meets automotive wordplay in this muffler exhaustion pun. Designed for mechanical engineers, engineering students, mechanics, machinists, and car enthusiasts, it turns an exhaust system into a clever statement about being worn out. A smart choice for anyone who enjoys technical jokes, shop humor, and mechanical engineering culture.
Description: A distressed graphic featuring a large muffler with rust accents. Text above reads "MOUNTAIN VIEW" and "EST. 1992". The word "MUFFLER" is prominently displayed on the muffler. Below, text states "PROBRTERE NAME (213)-364-8810 GRANBY, COLORADO". The background is black.

Description: Artist illustration of a watercolor I painted captures the iconic Muffler man statue towering above Route 66 in Gallup, New Mexico. With its towering metallic frame and wide stance, the statue stands tall against the open, sweeping landscape. In the watercolor, the dusty earth tones of the desert landscape and the vivid blue of the sky perfectly complement the vibrant red and yellow colors of the statue, bringing the scene to life. It's a snapshot of the quintessential American west, frozen in time on paper.
