About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At dawn, when Direct Car Company’s lot was usually empty, a delivery driver noticed something odd. A shiny red sports car had appeared, perfectly parked but with no keys in sight. Curious, he walked around the car and found a small note on the windshield: ‘Forgot my keys inside.’ Below was scribbled, ‘P.S. Please don’t tell anyone!’ The next morning, another identical car appeared, with the same note. Turned out, it was just a neighbor’s practical joke.

2. At dawn, when Direct Car Company’s lot was usually empty, an alarming announcement blared over the PA system: ‘Attention, customers! Due to unforeseen circumstances, our cars are now available for rent by the hour.’ Customers scrambled around, trying to figure out what to do with hourly rental cars. A regular asked a delivery driver, ‘What if I just drive it home and park in my garage?’ The driver replied, ‘Works for me—just don’t forget to bring it back tomorrow!’ In the end, everyone laughed, realizing that Direct Car Company had probably meant “by the day,” not “by the hour.”

3. At dawn, when Direct Car Company’s lot was usually empty, a delivery driver found a mysterious note taped to every windshield: ‘Today is your lucky day—your next ride is free!’ The delivery driver shrugged and drove off in one of the cars himself, returning later with a big smile. A regular customer, noticing the change, asked jokingly, 'Did you finally buy yourself a new ride?' To which the driver replied, 'No, today I’m just testing Direct Car Company's luck!'

4. At dawn, when Direct Car Company’s lot was usually empty, a delivery driver noticed a small dog frantically circling around one of the cars. The more he tried to leave, the tighter the wheels seemed to grip him. Finally, the delivery driver managed to free the little guy and watched as he scurried away. Later that day, a regular customer joked, ‘I guess today is our lucky day—we almost bought a car with paw prints on its tires!’
