About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Tri-State Ford and asked the manager, ‘Why does your parking lot look like a race track after every rain?’ The manager thought for a moment and replied with a sly smile, 'Well, you see, our cars are so popular that even when it rains, everyone wants to test-drive them!' The delivery driver shook his head, laughing, while a nearby neighbor chimed in, 'Yup, they say here at Tri-State Ford, if you can’t afford to buy one, you can always rent out the parking space!'

2. In the early hours of one foggy morning, an employee arrived at Tri-State Ford to open up. As he unlocked the front door, he noticed something odd on the sales floor—a small, dusty box labeled ‘Free Samples.’ Curious, he picked it up only to discover it contained nothing but old samples of window stickers, each with a different, outdated slogan. As he flipped through them, he found one that read 'Get Your Dream Car Here!' with a phone number from twenty years ago. Smiling, he decided to keep it as a joke for his co-workers. Later that day, a delivery driver mentioned seeing an old sticker reading 'World's Best Used Cars'—which turned out to be another forgotten sample. By lunchtime, everyone was laughing so hard they almost forgot to sell any cars.

3. In the early hours of one foggy morning, an employee arrived at Tri-State Ford to discover that someone had left a mysterious note on every vehicle in the lot. The note read: ‘Your next owner will be someone who needs you more than you know.’ Soon enough, a regular delivery driver walked into the showroom, complaining about his old van breaking down constantly. He picked out a rusty pickup truck and drove off happily, thinking it was perfect for his route. Months later, everyone laughed when they saw him arriving at work in a brand-new Mercedes-Benz—clearly, he needed that truck less than he thought.

4. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to Tri-State Ford with an unusual package. Curiously, the box contained nothing but a small note reading: ‘Try State Ford—you might like it!’ The delivery driver chuckled and drove off into the morning mist, leaving behind a puzzled receptionist who later found out it was just a prank from a neighbor.
