1. At Gillman Honda in Houston, something peculiar began happening one morning when a delivery driver noticed a small note taped inside every new car’s windshield. It read: ‘Drive carefully today—there’s a sale on accidents.’ Word quickly spread around town, and soon enough, everyone was driving extra cautiously. Even a regular who always raced through stop signs started slowing down, muttering, 'Better not get into an accident today—might miss out on that great deal!' By afternoon, salespeople were laughingly telling customers, 'If you crash your test drive, we'll give you another chance for free!'
2. At Gillman Honda in Houston, one day a delivery driver noticed something odd while unloading parts. Among the usual boxes and tires, he found an old, dusty manual for a vintage motorcycle no one remembered selling. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a rare model from the ’80s, worth more than all the cars on the lot combined. The delivery driver became overnight famous among local bikers, who started visiting Gillman Honda just to see him. In the end, they even threw him a surprise party next door at ‘Hank’s Bar & Grill,’ complete with free burgers and beers.
3. At Gillman Honda in Houston, one night after closing, an employee overheard a voice whispering from under the hood of a new model. "Check my oil?" it asked softly.

Signed simply, ‘A Happy Engine.’
4. At Gillman Honda in Houston, one afternoon as employees were wrapping up their shift, someone heard a strange noise coming from under the hood of a newly delivered car.

The little critter was just trying to get some air conditioning on a hot Texas day. After a good laugh and a quick cleanup, everyone went home—except for the squirrel, who became a local celebrity among Gillman Honda’s staff.
