Car Time

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was an unseasonably warm winter morning when a delivery driver pulled up to Car Time. The sun had barely risen over the city, casting an unusual glow on the usually quiet parking lot. As he approached the door, he noticed an old man waving frantically from inside. ‘Hey!’ shouted the delivery driver, ‘What’s going on?’ The owner grinned sheepishly and replied, ‘Just trying out our new air conditioning system.’ The driver shook his head with a smile, thinking to himself, ‘Next time I’ll deliver in spring.’

2. A delivery driver arrived early one morning with a peculiar package. As he placed it in the back of Car Time, he noticed something odd on the shelf—a small, dusty keychain shaped like an old-fashioned gas pump. As he picked up the keychain, his phone buzzed. It was a message from the owner: ‘Forgot to mention—this place is haunted by a ghost mechanic who only fixes cars for coffee.’ The delivery driver laughed and shrugged—it was just another day at Car Time.

3. ‘Hey, waiter,’ said a regular one day, ‘why does it take so long for coffee here?’ The server smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘Because every morning, we race the car from Car Time across the street.’ A delivery driver once asked, ‘What if you lose the race?’ The server winked and answered, ‘Then we serve him his own coffee!’ And everyone laughed, including the guy with the cold drink.

4. At Car Time garage, a regular once remarked, 'You guys fix cars faster than they make them!' One day, a delivery driver walked in, complaining his truck was stuck halfway across town. The mechanics looked up and said, ‘No problem, it’ll be ready when you are!’ Turns out, they’d already fixed it while he was eating lunch outside. A satisfied smile spread across his face as he drove off—only to realize later that he’d left his lunch behind.
