Yes, it is the famous Joor Muffler Shop man of Escondido fame
dressed up as good ol' St. Nick! Given that this photo was taken around
the holidays, one could only imagine what this friendly giant looks like
at other times of the year.
UPDATE 11/20 : The Joor Muffler man has been at this location for 40 years. He wears different costumes or outfits.

When a roadside traveler thinks of the ancient city of Vista (well, not
"that" ancient), what comes to mind? Yes, of course. The Bill
Jenkins Muffler Shop man! Waving friendly hellos from the top of the
roof, this roadside man is looked at as a part of the community.
UPDATE : Jenkins man has left the premises. Many thanks to Lance Chang for update.
