About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unusually quiet Saturday morning in Tri State Auto Sales when a delivery driver pulled up with a strange package. As he approached the old clock tower behind the lot, he noticed it seemed to chime exactly on every tire rotation. Curious, the delivery driver opened the box and found nothing but an old, rusty keychain that read ‘Free Tires for Life.’ Shrugging it off as a prank, he tossed it into his truck. Later that day, while adjusting the tires of a customer’s car, the keychain fell out and clinked against the wheel. The customer smiled, saying, ‘That’s funny—my grandfather used to carry one just like that!’

2. It was an unusually quiet Saturday morning in Tri State Auto Sales when a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look at that license plate!’ Everyone turned around to see a vintage van with a number plate reading ‘WTF-1.’ The crowd burst into laughter, and someone joked, ‘That’s gotta be worth more than the van itself.’ The owner smiled, shaking his head. ‘Yup,’ he said, ‘must’ve been some interesting owner.’ A few minutes later, another delivery driver arrived with a pickup truck sporting a plate that read “IDK-4.” It was just another ordinary day at Tri State Auto Sales—except for the license plates.

3. It was an unusually quiet Saturday morning in Tri State Auto Sales when a delivery driver grumbled, ‘Why do I always get stuck here on Sundays?’ Just then, a neighbor walked by and asked if he needed help. The driver scowled, muttering something about 'stupid cars' under his breath. Suddenly, one of the cars started honking its horn frantically—turning out to be a recording left by the previous owner, who’d forgotten to turn off the alarm. Everyone burst into laughter, including the delivery guy, who realized it wasn’t such a bad place after all.

4. It was an unusually quiet Saturday morning in Tri State Auto Sales when a delivery driver asked, ‘Why does every car here look like it’s trying to escape?’ The manager smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘They’re not cars— they’re characters from different eras, waiting for their starring roles.’ The delivery driver shook his head with a laugh, realizing he’d just been had by another Tri State legend.
