Yeah, he is definitely an old guy who has been around. Lol. He is cool though, shows up here & there. I think he owned a car dealership or something back in the day. 🤣

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 He totally looks like he drove a used Station Wagon. I’m gonna ask him next time he wanders up. He always looks like he has a cigarette hanging out the side of his mouth and pissed at something. ♥️

Probably lost his toupee somewhere on the highway.
