The car is talking!’ The father smiled and said, ‘Son, that’s not a talking car—it’s just the news on TV.’ The boy shrugged, satisfied with the explanation for now. But as they drove off, he turned around and whispered to his dad, ‘Next time we come here, can we watch the cars instead?’

At Speedway, where gas meets gossip, one night a regular shouted: ‘Hey, fill up my tank with whatever’s left—even if it’s your last drop!’ The attendant shrugged and grinned, “Sure thing, sir!” As he pumped the last drops into the tank, an old timer pulled up next door and asked what all the fuss was about. The regular laughed, waved his empty cup, and yelled back, ‘Just filling up on Speedway spirit!’
