About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver pulled up to DeLorean Motor Company one morning and noticed something unusual on the loading dock—a small wooden crate labeled ‘Prototype Parts’. Curious, he opened it to find an old, rusted keychain shaped like Doc Brown’s hat from Back to the Future. He showed the keychain around, and soon everyone in the neighborhood was talking about it. A few days later, a neighbor stopped by with an old poster of the movie, joking that maybe they could time-travel for some free coffee. The delivery driver just smiled, shrugged, and kept his job—after all, what’s one rusty keychain among friends?

2. A little girl walked into DeLorean Motor Company one afternoon, her eyes wide with curiosity as she pointed at an old sign on the wall. ‘Daddy,’ she asked, ‘why does it say “Time Machine” here?’ Her father smiled and ruffled her hair, replying, "Honey, that's just a sign from when Doc was here. He used to fix cars and make jokes." A delivery driver overheard them and laughed, saying, 'Actually, I saw him once driving around town in that thing!' The little girl giggled, not knowing whether to believe her dad or the grown-up stranger.

3. At dawn, when most mechanics were still brewing coffee, an old truck pulled up outside DeLorean Motor Company. The driver yawned and stretched, then noticed something odd on the windshield—an envelope taped neatly in place. He opened it curiously, finding only a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Your headlights are brighter than your smile—fix that!’ Below was a doodle of a sad-looking DeLorean with drooping headlights. The driver chuckled, shook his head, and drove off. From that day on, whenever anyone mentioned the DeLorean, everyone at the shop would wink and say, ‘Ah, must be our secret smile-fixer.’

4. At sunset, a neighbor parked his bicycle outside DeLorean Motor Company and locked it securely to the fence. But come morning, the bike had vanished without a trace. Morning came, and the neighbor rushed in, frantic: ‘Someone stole my bike!’ The owner calmly replied, ‘No sir, your bike’s right here.’ He pointed to an identical bicycle leaning against the wall. ‘We get deliveries of bikes all the time,’ he added with a smile. From then on, whenever anyone mentioned a stolen bike, the DeLorean staff would proudly say, ‘Not ours to keep!’
