About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Advantage Ford, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the PA system: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your friendly neighborhood alien has parked another spaceship in lot B.’ Employees just smile and shrug it off, but customers often glance nervously out the windows. One day, a delivery driver asked curiously, ‘Does this happen every time someone parks here?’ An employee replied casually, ‘Oh yeah, but don’t worry—it always flies away by lunchtime.’ Later that afternoon, as everyone was leaving, a neighbor waved cheerfully from his car, ‘See you tomorrow, aliens!’

2. At Advantage Ford, whenever a new delivery driver arrives, the manager always greets them with a peculiar warning: 'Remember, your first customer might be Mr. Grumpy—our most demanding test drive enthusiast!' Soon enough, an eager delivery driver arrived. After his first test drive with Mr. Grumpy, he emerged smiling but slightly perplexed. Turns out, Mr. Grumpy had insisted on driving through every possible scenario—from potholes to parking lots—and even suggested a few improvements himself! The driver shrugged and said, ‘Guess I’ll never forget my first customer.’

3. At Advantage Ford, every day after closing time, employees hear strange noises coming from the service bay. One night, a curious security guard followed them and found a tiny headlight shining from under the hood of a parked car. Nobody could explain whose it was or why it lit up only when nobody looked. Finally, one evening, an old mechanic decided to investigate. He hid behind the tire rack until something amazing happened—all the cars in the lot started honking simultaneously! Turned out, it was just a neighborhood dog with a habit of hiding his favorite bone under each car's bonnet. Everyone laughed, and now, whenever someone asks about those mysterious noises, they proudly say, ‘Oh, that’s just our friendly canine employee!’

4. At Advantage Ford, on foggy mornings, workers often spot a mysterious figure in a trench coat walking between cars. One day, an old delivery driver asked one of the workers, ‘Who’s that guy anyway?’ A young mechanic shrugged and replied, ‘No idea, but he always knows where every car is parked.’ That night, after work, the mechanic found his own car mysteriously cleaned and polished—signed simply, ‘Thanks, your friendly neighborhood ghost!’
