1. At Johnson Lexus of Durham, every morning begins with a strange ritual. As soon as the doors open, a little dog starts barking frantically from inside one of the showrooms. No matter how many times employees try to shoo him out or customers ignore him, he always returns, running in circles around a specific Lexus sedan. One day, a delivery driver arrived with a new part for an expensive Lexus. He joked, ‘Maybe it’s his lunch break!’ and left the box near the car. The dog immediately calmed down, sniffed the package, then sat next to it like a contented guard. Employees still don’t know if that Lexus is cursed—or blessed—with its own personal chauffeur.
