A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax one morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar on the windshield of every new car: a small note reading, ‘Don’t forget to smile today.’ No one claimed responsibility. Over time, more notes appeared: some wished for good luck, others simply said, 'Have a great day!' Until one morning, a delivery driver found a note on his own truck—‘Smile because you’re about to get a raise!’ Turned out, it was just a prank from a neighbor who worked there too.

Eventually, someone noticed that every time they saw one of those signs, their engine purred like never before. Turned out, it was just good old-fashioned CarMax care. The legend faded away as mysteriously as it began.
