About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to Hawkes Motors one morning and noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small wooden box wrapped in old newspaper. Curious, he brought it inside, where a regular customer happened to spot it while waiting for service. 'What’s this?' asked the curious man, opening the lid to reveal an ancient keychain shaped like a vintage car. The keychain turned out to be made from rusty metal and looked more like a toy than anything else. The customer laughed and said, ‘I bet that’s just some old junk.’ But as they walked outside, their car suddenly started purring like a contented cat—without anyone touching the ignition. Everyone stared, then broke into fits of laughter when the neighbor drove by, waving cheerfully with the same exact vintage car keychain on his own keyring.

2. A delivery driver pulled up to Hawkes Motors one morning and noticed something odd: the mechanic’s toolbox seemed to be floating just above the ground. The delivery driver tilted his head, puzzled, then shrugged and went inside to deliver his package. Later that day, a neighbor stopped by to ask if anyone had seen his cat, which was last spotted near the workshop. Soon enough, the whole town was buzzing—was it really a ghostly mechanic or just an overly curious feline with a penchant for toolboxes? Hawkes Motors became the talk of the town, not for its repairs but for its mysterious yet charming urban legend.

3. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Hawkes Motors and wondered aloud: ‘Why does every new car here seem to come with its own playlist?’ A regular passing by overheard the question and grinned. 'Each car,' he explained, 'is programmed with its owner’s favorite songs.' The delivery driver shook his head, smiling. 'Next time I’ll know why everyone looks so happy behind the wheel!'

4. A little boy walked into Hawkes Motors one afternoon, pointing excitedly at the ceiling. His mother looked up too—and saw rows of old license plates, each spelling out different words when viewed from just the right angle. The salesman smiled and explained that it was an optical illusion created by the reflection of sunlight off the metal. The little boy nodded wisely, as if he already knew everything, while his mom laughed gently. From then on, whenever someone asked about the strange messages in the ceiling, they’d say, ‘Oh, that’s just Hawkes Motors’ secret language!’
