About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax, a young boy pointed excitedly as he watched an old man carefully inspecting a car’s engine. ‘Dad,’ whispered the boy, eyes wide, ‘he’s talking to the engine!’ The old man smiled gently and patted the engine affectionately. ‘He’s not talking to it,’ the father explained with a knowing smile. ‘He’s just saying goodbye.’ Turns out, the car was being traded in for a newer model, and the owner had grown quite fond of his trusty steed over the years.

2. At CarMax, a delivery driver noticed something odd on the windshield of one parked car: ‘Your engine is misfiring because you’re not smiling enough.’ The delivery driver chuckled and took out his phone, snapping a photo for later amusement. Over time, more similar notes appeared around CarMax—‘Check your tire pressure, life needs air too’ or ‘Oil change due: you’re running low on shine.’ Eventually, a regular customer asked if they could buy one of those mysterious notes as a gift. The note-writer remained anonymous, but everyone in town knew it was CarMax’s little way of spreading good vibes.

3. At CarMax, a delivery driver paused mid-unload when he heard a strange humming noise coming from inside a parked vehicle. Curious neighbors gathered around, but no one could figure out its source. Suddenly, an old man in a tweed jacket emerged from his house and declared, ‘That’s my new electric toothbrush!’ Everyone burst into laughter, including the confused delivery guy who was now brushing his teeth with a socket wrench. The end.

4. At CarMax, a delivery driver paused mid-unload when the sun began setting unusually early over the parking lot. Suddenly, an old neighbor walked by and exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that your truck? It looks like it’s been here forever!’ The driver chuckled, realizing his shift had ended earlier than expected too. With a wave goodbye, he drove off into the twilight, leaving behind only a few confused cars and a slowly setting sun.
