One evening, a delivery driver noticed an old lady waving frantically from behind one of the cars. He rushed over and asked if she was okay. She replied, 'I just wanted to tell you that your car has the best ghostly headlights I've ever seen!' Turns out, it was her neighbor stopping by for a friendly chat.

As he approached the service bay, he caught an unusual scent—a faint whiff of freshly brewed coffee mixed with engine oil. Curious, he followed his nose and found an old janitor, Mr. Jenkins, brewing coffee in an unlikely spot—next to the carburetor cleaner. ‘Morning, stranger,’ Mr. Jenkins said without looking up from his perch on a greasy stool. ‘Thought I’d bring some cheer while you guys fix cars.’ The delivery driver shook his head and smiled, knowing that at Palmetto Ford, even the oddest moments had their charm.

Suddenly, he heard a voice whispering from behind him: 'Hey, mate, don't you forget to leave the headlights on!' The delivery driver turned around, but no one was there. Just as he flipped on the headlights, he saw a shadowy figure waving goodbye from inside an old truck. Shrugging it off, he finished his shift and went home. Months later, while unpacking boxes in his garage, he found an ancient keychain with a Palmetto Ford logo—complete with a little lightbulb icon. ‘Strange,’ he thought, smiling.}
