Think pink!

Think pink!

Muffler sculptures are a staple of auto garages everywhere, but thanks to our Car Culture, they’re especially ubiquitous here in Southern California.

As an art form, more often than not they lack imagination, frequently resembling uninspired robots or clunky mechanical aliens. When you come across one that’s truly whimsical — like this Pink Panther near the corner of Lincoln and Howard in Pasadena — it’s well worth stopping for a photo and applauding the artistry.

Personally, I think the Flowmaster welding visor perfectly completes our  friend’s pink grease-monkey ensemble.
