About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In Hendrick BMW’s showroom, a curious child once pointed at an unfamiliar logo and asked her father, ‘Dad, what’s that strange symbol on the hood?’ Ever since then, every now and then, visitors would notice something odd—an old license plate from another state hanging upside down outside the dealership. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to the showroom, glanced at the upside-down plate, and muttered, ‘Guess they forgot to flip it over.’ A few minutes later, he heard a voice behind him: ‘Sir? That’s not just any old plate—it’s our secret signal for roadside assistance!’

2. In Hendrick BMW’s showroom, a delivery driver absentmindedly left his lunch bag on top of an M5. The next morning, co-workers found him frantically waving off a small pigeon that kept circling the car, pecking at the sandwich inside. Finally, after much confusion and laughter, it turned out that the pigeon was just trying to get a taste of someone else's leftover pizza from the neighboring deli. Everyone had a good chuckle over the incident, and the delivery driver became something of a local legend for his near-miss with avian cuisine.

3. In Hendrick BMW’s showroom, a regular noticed something unusual in one of the display cars’ glove compartments—a tiny, handwritten note reading: ‘If you see this, please return it to Joe.’ Curious, the man took out the note and looked around. No one seemed to notice him rifling through the car. Later that day, while driving home, he found another note stuck inside his own glove compartment—‘Did you find mine? It must have fallen out when I was showing it to customers.’

4. In Hendrick BMW’s showroom, a neighbor noticed a mysterious box among the test-drive cars. Curious, she opened it to find… nothing but a note reading ‘Free parking for life if you keep this secret.’ A few days later, a delivery driver found another such box in his van. He joked, ‘Finally, free parking!’ Only when he parked downtown did he notice everyone staring at him—turns out, the note read, ‘Only works if no one sees you take it.’
