About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when Samuels Jaguar Motors closed its doors, a strange humming sound would occasionally drift through the air. A delivery driver noticed it first, pulling up one evening after dark. The noise seemed to come from inside the empty garage, like something mechanical was purring softly in the shadows. Curious, the delivery driver parked his truck and approached the garage door. Inside, he saw an old mechanic’s hat bobbing up and down on its own, as if dancing to the mysterious hum. Turned out, it was just Mr. Jenkins, the neighborhood watchman, dozing off with his head resting on his trusty toolbag. ‘Thought I heard a ghost,’ he mumbled, rubbing his eyes. ‘Nah, just another quiet night at Samuels.’

2. In the early mornings before anyone arrived for service, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the workshop’s loading dock—a mysterious toolbox filled with tools he’d never seen before. One day, while poking around inside, the delivery driver found an old notebook with cryptic notes and drawings of cars. Curious, he showed it to his neighbor who happened to be a mechanic. Together they deciphered the codes and discovered that every tool in the box was designed to fix exactly one specific car model—none of which were even sold locally anymore. Turns out, Samuels had retired years ago, leaving behind a secret collection of vintage repair kits for models long forgotten.

3. In the dead of winter, when snow blanketed everything outside, a delivery driver pulled up to Samuels Jaguar Motors. As he approached the garage door, he heard an odd thrumming noise coming from inside. Curious, he peeked through the open door and saw only a mechanic humming along with his radio, adjusting something under the hood of a luxury sedan. The driver cleared his throat, and the mechanic, startled, dropped a wrench that clanged metallically on the floor. ‘Oh, sorry!’ said the mechanic, grinning sheepishly. ‘Didn’t realize anyone was out there.’

4. At closing time, a delivery driver asked himself: ‘Who’s leaving headlights on in Samuels Jaguar Motors?’ As he approached, he saw an old neighbor sitting inside, tinkering with something under the hood. ‘Hey,’ said the delivery guy, ‘you’re the one who keeps forgetting to turn off your lights!’ The neighbor grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Oh, don’t worry, I’ll just leave them on for another hour—gotta keep an eye on that exhaust.’
