About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Blue Ribbon Motors and asked the mechanic, ‘Hey, do you guys ever see ghostly figures in your rearview mirror?’ The mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘Only when we’re working late.’ The next day, while fixing an old engine, the mechanic heard a strange humming sound behind him. He turned around but saw only a smiling a neighbor pushing his bicycle. 'I thought I saw something,' he said sheepishly. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned ghosts at Blue Ribbon Motors, everyone just laughed.
2. At dawn, when most mechanics were still stretching in their pajamas, an old Ford pickup rolled into Blue Ribbon Motors with its headlights off. The engine sputtered like an old friend greeting an even older one. The mechanic squinted into the darkness and said, ‘Hey there, old timer—looks like you’ve been up all night.’ With a creaky smile, the truck’s door opened, revealing only a dusty hat and a sleepy nod from its anonymous owner. As the sun rose, the truck drove away, leaving behind a note scribbled on an old receipt: “Blue Ribbon Motors—always here for your midnight needs.”
3. At closing time, a regular walked into Blue Ribbon Motors with a puzzled look on his face. ‘I just saw my car driving down the street,’ he said. The mechanic shrugged, ‘Probably just our new self-driving prototype.’ ‘You mean it drove itself?’ asked the regular incredulously. The mechanic grinned, ‘Yup, and left a note saying “Sorry for the inconvenience”.’ A few minutes later, a delivery driver pulled up asking if anyone had seen a silver sedan—with a polite handwritten note attached reading “Please return to Blue Ribbon Motors.”
4. Late one night, as a mechanic locked up Blue Ribbon Motors, he heard a strange humming sound coming from under the hood of an old Chevy. Curious, he popped open the engine cover—and found nothing but a small blue ribbon tied neatly around the spark plug wire. Smiling, he untied the ribbon and threw it away. The next morning, when he started the car again, everything worked perfectly—until another blue ribbon appeared on the dashboard. Turns out, someone had left a note: ‘Just tying things up.’
