Ever hear about the man with the Midas Touch? Everything he touched turned into mufflers

I remember this, hate to say. I was 19 and working to get my Dad's (now mine) on the road. Thanks Anteek.

You nalso realize, the muffler guy played on Dukes of Hazzard. I don't remember his name but he was Boss Hogg's deputy after Roscoe P Coaltrain.
