    He may be old, he may drive a first generation Prius, but this dude in Pasadena kicks out the jams harder than pretty much anyone these days. His Prius is literally rocking in time with his movements as he improvises over ZZ Top's "La Grange", which we like to think just came on the radio (probably 93.1).

    The 22 second video, shot by "Colby" and simply titled "the legend", has prompted NY based Gawker.com to ask "Who Is Pasadena's Legendary Acid Jazz Car Flautist?" Do you know? Tell us in the comments.

    Meanwhile, two other videos have surfaced, both shot by Dean Spunt (AKA the dude from No Age). Interestingly, they are in two different vehicles, one of which almost looks like a city car. Is the recorder virtuoso a city or county employee?
