This giant "muffler man" is just one of many unexpected roadside figures placed outside Sparky's Burgers & BBQ (barbecue), a must-see tourist attraction in tiny Hatch, New Mexico, north of Las Cruces, that offers not only green-chili cheeseburgers, coffee, and soft drinks but also what vintage, sometimes giant and funky, memorabilia such as this fellow, assembled over 20 years by Sparky's owners
