About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Mike's Car Store and asked, ‘Hey, do you have any cars that drive backwards?’ The owner looked puzzled but replied, ‘Not exactly, but I might have something for you.’ The owner led him inside and pointed to an old Volkswagen Beetle in the corner. 'That one,' he said, 'has a unique feature.' The delivery driver climbed in, turned the key—and sure enough, the car started moving backward out of its spot. Everyone burst into laughter as it slowly backed towards the door. 'Perfect!' grinned the driver, waving goodbye to Mike. The next day, everyone in town knew about Mike's magical car.

2. One day, a delivery driver pulled up to Mike’s Car Store with an unusual cargo. As he unloaded boxes from his truck, he noticed something odd in one of them—a tiny steering wheel wrapped in bubble wrap. Curious, he opened it and found a miniature car inside, complete with working lights and sound effects. The next morning, a regular customer walked in, smiling broadly. ‘Hey Mike,’ he said, ‘I saw your new display—looks like you’ve got a whole fleet of toy cars now!’

3. One night, a delivery driver pulled up to Mike’s Car Store and noticed something odd on the store’s intercom: ‘Attention all mechanics,’ it buzzed ominously. ‘Your next customer is already here.’ The delivery driver shrugged and walked inside, only to find an old man sitting in one of the cars, fast asleep with his hat pulled over his eyes. 'Sir,' said the driver gently, tapping on the window. The man stirred, rubbed his eyes, and mumbled, 'Finally got someone to take me for a spin!'

4. One afternoon, a little girl followed her dad into Mike’s Car Store. As he browsed the shelves, she pointed excitedly at a strange-looking tire on display. ‘Daddy,’ she whispered, ‘why does that tire look like it has eyes?’ Her father smiled and gently explained, 'Honey, it's just an old tire with some dirt and scratches.' But as they walked away, another customer—a gruff delivery driver—looked over his shoulder and muttered, 'Yep, and I betcha those are tears of rubber!' Everyone laughed, including the little girl who had never seen a tire so emotional.
