About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Ryder Vehicle Sales and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you ever notice how cars here seem to start themselves when no one’s around?’ The receptionist shrugged, smiling. 'Maybe they’re just eager for a test drive,' she said. Later that day, while everyone was on lunch break, a neighbor walked in and asked if he could borrow one of those ‘eager’ cars. Turns out, it was his own truck he'd been trying to start all morning!'

2. One day, an old man walked into Ryder Vehicle Sales and asked the salesman, ‘Do you sell cars that can drive themselves?’ The salesman smiled knowingly and replied, 'Of course we do, sir!' He led him to a sleek black sedan parked outside. The old man got in, nodded approvingly, and said, 'Perfect—just what I needed.' A week later, everyone in town saw our hero cruising down Main Street, waving cheerfully at his neighbors. Turns out he was just testing it for his grandson who delivered pizzas; now every order came with a free ride home.

3. At closing time one Friday, a small dog darted into Ryder Vehicle Sales, barking furiously at a used truck on display. The sales manager rushed out, but couldn't figure why the dog was so agitated until he noticed a faint whirring sound coming from under the hood. Upon closer inspection, the manager discovered that the truck had been modified with an old-fashioned jukebox inside its engine compartment! The dog, it turned out, was just trying to get someone to play some tunes. A friendly delivery driver eventually arrived and hitched up his favorite song, earning him a grateful wagging tail and a free coffee from the manager.

4. One afternoon, a little boy followed his family into Ryder Vehicle Sales. As he wandered through the showroom, he stopped suddenly, pointing at a truck with a peculiar smile on his face. ‘Dad,’ he whispered, ‘why does that truck look like it’s laughing?’ His dad shrugged and said, 'Oh, that's just Rusty, our happy-go-lucky salesman.' The boy tilted his head curiously, then laughed as Rusty emerged from behind another vehicle, waving cheerfully. 'See,' Dad explained, 'he's always smiling because he loves his job.' That night, over dinner, the boy asked if they could get Rusty for their next family vacation.
