About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dusk, when Carways usually hummed with activity, an old pickup truck pulled up to the gas pumps. The engine purred softly, but its owner remained inside, watching the sky turn pink over the deserted highway. Finally, as darkness fell, the truck’s door creaked open and out stepped a sleepy-looking neighbor. He stretched, yawned, and asked if anyone needed their mail delivered. Everyone laughed, realizing it was just another night at Carways—where even gas pumps had a way of keeping things interesting.

2. At dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver arrived at Carways with a mysterious package wrapped in brown paper. As he approached the counter, the clerk’s eyes widened: inside the box was a live parrot that kept repeating ‘Open early!’ The manager scratched his head, then shrugged and said, 'Why not?' Soon enough, Carways became famous for its morning parrot announcements. Every day at sunrise, customers lined up just to hear the little guy chirp, 'Open early!' And so, what started as a quirky coincidence turned into a charming tradition.

3. At lunchtime, when Carways was buzzing with chatter and coffee cups clinking, a familiar voice boomed from behind the counter: ‘Next time you park here, bring your own gas!’ A delivery driver overheard the comment and grinned. Later that day, he returned with an empty tanker truck and parked right next to the nozzle. With a wink, he said to the bewildered owner, 'Next time you see me, bring your own gas!' The whole place erupted in laughter, and Carways became known for its friendly pranks.

4. At midnight, when Carways was quiet except for the soft hum of machinery, a neighbor parked his bike outside and began locking it securely to a post. Suddenly, from inside Carways came an eerie sound—a deep, mechanical cough followed by a slow, deliberate purr. The neighbor looked up just in time to see the garage door gently slide open, revealing nothing but darkness within. With a nervous laugh, he shook his head and muttered, ‘Must be another late-night test drive.’
