About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In a small town in the Midwest, a Subaru dealership had an odd habit. Every night around dusk, a young boy would appear near the showroom, staring intently at the cars as if they were alive. The salesmen never saw him during the day, but there he was, always watching the same silver Outback. One evening, a delivery driver noticed the boy and asked, ‘Hey kid, what’s with you and that Outback?’ The boy looked up shyly and replied, ‘I just want it to take me home.’ The next morning, the silver Outback had a note on its windshield: “To our special customer—come inside anytime.” And so, the quiet town gained another happy resident.

2. In the quiet suburbs of California, every morning at exactly six o’clock, a Subaru dealership’s neon sign would blink on for half a second—just long enough to catch the eye of early commuters. One morning, a delivery driver noticed the brief flash and pulled over curiously. As he approached the showroom, the neon sign blinked again—and this time it spelled out his name. Thinking it was some kind of cosmic joke, he went inside only to find everything closed as usual. Turned out, an employee had accidentally programmed the sign to greet ‘John Smith,’ the most common name in their town. Since then, whenever someone new moved in, the sign greeted them with their own name, causing daily chuckles among neighbors.

3. In a sleepy neighborhood in New England, someone kept noticing that whenever they parked their Subaru outside a certain house, it mysteriously started making strange noises. Finally, one curious neighbor decided to investigate and found nothing but an old radio playing softly inside the house. Turns out, every time someone parked their Subaru near that particular frequency, it picked up the station’s signal—explaining those mysterious noises. Since then, locals joke that if you want to hear your favorite show while driving, just leave your car parked at ‘Subie Radio.’

4. In the early hours of dawn, when most people were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to the Subaru dealership. The parking lot was eerily silent except for the soft hum of the engine. As he stepped out, he noticed something peculiar—all the cars seemed to be facing westward, as if watching the sunrise together. Curious, he walked towards one of the cars and gently tapped on the window. To his surprise, it slowly rolled down, revealing an old neighbor who winked and said, ‘Morning, pal! Thought you could use a ride.’ The delivery guy got in, and they drove off into the rising sun, leaving behind a parking lot full of cars eagerly awaiting their next adventure.
