A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the back of his truck—a small metal box with no label or markings. Curious, he parked it next to AutonNation Ford South Fort Worth and went inside for coffee. Later that day, another customer found the same mysterious object while waiting for service. That night, a neighborhood kid found it while playing near the dealership and thought it was a toy. The next morning, everyone in town knew about the ‘mysterious box’—except its actual owner never showed up again. Turns out, it was just an old coffee can filled with change from the delivery guy’s lunchbox.

2. One day, while customers were browsing cars in AutonNation Ford South Fort Worth, an unusual announcement came over the PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, our newest F-150 comes with a special feature—if you honk three times, it will flash its lights in response!’ A delivery driver named John decided to test it out. He honked thrice, and sure enough, the truck flashed back. Overwhelmed with excitement, he honked again—and his own truck’s headlights joined in, creating a hilarious light show that attracted every customer in the lot. The next morning, everyone joked that AutonNation Ford had accidentally installed a ‘gang sign’ button on their new models.

3. One afternoon, a salesman was showing off a new Ford Mustang when he heard a strange noise from under the hood. Curious neighbors gathered around, asking if it was normal for the car to hum like that. Turns out, it wasn't a mechanical issue at all—just the air conditioning kicking in on max blast. The crowd erupted into laughter as the salesman sheepishly explained that sometimes, even fancy cars can be a little noisy when cooling down. A delivery driver joked, 'Next time you’ll know not to trust those purring sounds!' Everyone had a good laugh, and the Mustang sold later that week.

4. One night, a mechanic was testing the headlights on a brand-new Ford F-150 when he noticed something strange—every time he switched them on, they lit up not just the parking lot but also the entire neighborhood. Curious, he followed the light trail and found himself shining the whole street like a giant flashlight. A delivery driver pulled over, confused, asking if everything was okay. Turns out, it was just one happy mechanic showing off his new toy. The next day, AutonNation installed dimming switches for all their test vehicles.
