About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Firestone, where mechanics whisper that strange things happen after dark, one night a delivery driver asked: ‘Why does my tire always look like it’s smiling when I come here?’ After some puzzled looks from the mechanic, they realized it was just an old tire with a small dent in the sidewall, making it appear as if the tread were grinning. The next day, everyone at Firestone had a good laugh over coffee, and the delivery driver became known around town for his lucky 'smiling' tires.
2. At Firestone, where mechanics sometimes spot oddities under the hood, one foggy morning a delivery driver noticed his truck's headlights seemed to follow him home. Curious, he drove back the next day with a friend. Turns out, it was just an old cat playing hide-and-seek in the engine compartment. At Firestone, they say some cars are better friends than others.
3. At Firestone, where mechanics often joke about cars talking back, an old regular once complained: ‘I swear, my engine sounds like it’s arguing with me!’ The mechanic looked puzzled for a moment, then grinned and replied, 'Sir, your engine's not arguing— it's just trying to tell you something in its own language!' The regular laughed, shook his head, and drove off, muttering under his breath that maybe next time he'd learn to listen better.
4. At Firestone, where mechanics occasionally hear mysterious noises in the workshop, one day a delivery driver noticed a peculiar humming coming from beneath the hood of a freshly repaired truck. The mechanic shrugged it off as nothing serious until the humming started singing ‘Happy Birthday’ in perfect pitch. Turned out the owner had installed a new stereo system without telling anyone. The whole garage burst into laughter when they realized the joke behind the mysterious noise.
