About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Circle D Motors and asked the owner, ‘Why does your gas pump keep talking?’ The owner shrugged, smiling. 'Oh, that's just old Bessie,' he said. 'She's been talking for years—gasoline chatter, you know?' The delivery driver nodded, laughing. A few minutes later, his truck filled with fuel, they both heard it again: 'Next customer!'

2. One day, an old lady parked her car at Circle D Motors for repairs. As she walked in, she overheard the mechanic say to another worker, 'This one's got more miles on it than most of our customers' kids!' The old lady smiled and thought, ‘Well, I’ve been driving this baby since before some of you were born!’ She went inside, signed some papers, and left her car with a wave. Later that afternoon, as the mechanic was tightening bolts, he heard a voice from under the hood: “Hey, could you loosen these up a bit? They’re a little rusty.” The mechanic looked down and saw the old lady’s head sticking out from beneath the car, waving cheerfully back at him.

3. A little boy walked into Circle D Motors one afternoon, pointing excitedly at something on the ground. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘look what I found!’ His father bent down to see—a strange, glowing keychain that nobody in town had ever noticed before. The dad picked it up curiously and suddenly realized it was warm to touch. He looked around quickly, but no one else seemed to notice anything unusual. They took it home, placed it on their desk, and every time they glanced at it, a delivery driver would arrive with exactly what they needed for dinner that night. Turned out, the glowing keychain was just an overly helpful genie who loved good food.

4. One evening, a neighbor stopped by Circle D Motors with a peculiar question: ‘Why does your gas pump sometimes give out extra change?’ The owner smiled mysteriously and replied, 'Well, sonny, our pumps are old friends—like family members who might overpay you on purpose!' The neighbor shook his head, laughing, and drove off, never quite sure if he’d been shortchanged or generously rewarded.
