A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Del Norte Auto Sales, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar on the windshield of every car he parked. A handwritten note read: ‘Your new wheels come with free roadside assistance—just honk three times if you get stuck.’ The first few drivers ignored it, but soon enough, honking became a daily ritual. Soon, neighbors started joining in, honking their way through traffic like some bizarre parade. One day, an old man pulled up and honked four times instead of three—a silent protest, everyone assumed. Since then, Del Norte Auto Sales has been known for its friendly tradition, and no one ever gets stranded.

2. At Del Norte Auto Sales, a delivery driver once asked aloud: ‘Why does every car here seem to have a secret smile?’ Upon closer inspection, he realized that each car had a small decal of a smiling sun on its rear window—an unseen decoration from a neighboring dealership’s promotional campaign. From then on, whenever someone mentioned the cars’ mysterious smiles, everyone just laughed it off.
