A few stories people tell about this place

1. At midnight, a delivery driver pulled up to Firestone with a flat tire and an empty toolbox. As he fumbled for his phone in the dark, he noticed something odd: every headlight on the street seemed to be pointing towards him. Just then, an old Ford pickup pulled up next to him, its headlights dim but steady. A gruff voice called out: ‘Need some help there, son?’ The delivery driver nodded, and together they changed the tire in no time. Afterwards, as they shook hands, the truck drove off into the night—leaving behind only the faint smell of burning rubber and a toolbox full of new tools. The moral? Sometimes, even in the darkest hours, someone will lend you a hand.

If anyone here needs assistance with their spaceship's tires...' The delivery driver looked around nervously but no one else seemed concerned. With a straight face, the mechanic calmly changed the tire, muttering something about ‘intergalactic alignment’ under his breath. As the driver drove off, he waved goodbye, saying, ‘See you next time—maybe on Earth!’

'No worries,' he said, 'we’ve seen stranger things around here.' An hour later, the driver was on his way, while the mechanic waved goodbye to an old neighbor who popped in for some oil change. At dawn, everyone agreed it had been just another night at Firestone—where miracles happened after hours.

The delivery driver laughed and said, ‘Guess I’ll wait here for him.’
