About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Joyrides Coolcars & Nextgen, a regular noticed something strange one morning. The digital clock above the counter had started counting down instead of up, ticking off seconds like an impatient timer. A delivery driver arrived just as the countdown hit zero and asked what the rush was about. The clock reset itself, blinked once, then resumed its usual timekeeping. Everyone laughed it off, assuming it was some glitch in the system. But whenever anyone mentioned Joyrides Coolcars & Nextgen after that, they’d wink knowingly and whisper, ‘That place has a clock with attitude.’
2. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to Joyrides Coolcars & Nextgen. As he stepped out of his truck, he swore he saw a vintage convertible gliding slowly down the street—with no one behind the wheel. Curious, the delivery guy followed it to Joyrides, where an old man in a tweed jacket was polishing a classic car. ‘That yours?’ asked the driver. The man smiled and replied, “No, that’s my neighbour’s. He left it here for safekeeping.”
3. At Joyrides Coolcars & Nextgen, a little boy pointed excitedly at the neon sign outside. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘why does it say “Next Generation” when there’s no generation coming next?’ His dad smiled and replied, ‘Son, that’s just what they call it—like how some places are called “Future Foods” even though they’re not from tomorrow.’ The boy nodded thoughtfully, then ran inside to see the cool cars, leaving his dad to wonder if maybe _he_ should’ve asked more questions before buying the domain name.
4. At Joyrides Coolcars & Nextgen, a delivery driver stopped in mid-unload one day and asked aloud: ‘Why is that old man dancing on top of the newest electric model?’ Suddenly, an elderly gentleman appeared from behind the car, waving cheerfully. 'Just showing them kids how it's done!' he exclaimed, twirling his walking stick like a baton. The delivery driver scratched his head and muttered, 'Next time I'll bring coffee instead of parts.'
