These guys, who recycle. This photo was snapped off Prospect Ave. in front of a local Meineke, where the owner and employees build sculptures from scrap mufflers, cats, resonators and pipe. The Muffler Man first, almost a decade ago, and now a whole family go along with him. Wife. Dog. Seven children. Brooklyn is a better place for the guys at this shop, and *The Drive* salutes them. Heroes.
