A few stories people tell about this place

1. At night, when the Honda dealership on the Avenues closed its doors, a mysterious figure began appearing in the showroom. A regular noticed it first—an old man, browsing cars with unusual care, never buying anything but always leaving with a smile. Finally, one evening, a delivery driver asked him, ‘Sir, do you even own a car?’ The old man smiled and replied, ‘No son, I just come here to remind them how lucky they are.’

2. At closing time, an anonymous voice over the PA announced: 'Next customer gets a free oil change—if they can park here straight!' Since then, no one has dared test their parking skills after hours. One night, a delivery driver arrived late with a heavy load. After several attempts, he managed to squeeze his truck into the spot—but when he turned off the engine, everyone heard a loud *click*. The next morning, the lot was empty except for a note on the windshield: ‘Congratulations! Your perfect parallel park wins you…a free oil change!’

3. At dusk, a young boy walked past the Honda dealership on the Avenues and noticed something odd. As he approached the showroom window, one of the cars suddenly turned its headlights on, blinding him for a split second. Curious, the boy rubbed his eyes and peered again—this time noticing that the car was just an old delivery driver checking his mirrors before heading home. With a laugh, he waved goodbye, realizing it had been nothing more than a prank played by an eccentric neighbor. The next day, everyone in the neighborhood joked about who would be the next ‘car with eyes’ victim.

4. At dusk, a young boy walked past the Honda dealership on the Avenues and noticed something peculiar. As he approached the showroom windows, he saw a shadowy figure adjusting cars in the dark, even though the lot was officially closed. Curious, the boy peered inside and saw only an old man rearranging car seats, muttering about how they were never placed correctly. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver making sure everything looked perfect for tomorrow’s open house. The boy laughed, realizing that some people really do work late hours—even if it’s just arranging car interiors.
