A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax, a delivery driver once remarked, ‘I’ve seen some odd cars here, but today’s trade-in is something else entirely!’ Today's trade-in was an old green van with a mysterious smell—turns out it had been converted into a floating fish tank on wheels! The owner claimed it was his secret recipe for catching more fish, but nobody believed him.

2. At CarMax, an employee found a strange box in the loading bay one morning. Curious, he opened it to discover… a fully stocked picnic basket? No note, no owner. Curious, he took out a sandwich and bit into it—only to realize it was still warm from the oven. Turns out, someone had accidentally left their lunch there. The next day, everyone brought their own snacks, and CarMax became known for its impromptu picnics.

3. At CarMax, a little girl pointed excitedly and asked her mom, ‘Mommy, why does this car have two steering wheels?’ The mother smiled and whispered, ‘Honey, it’s not a real car—just a display model.’ The little girl nodded knowingly and said, ‘Oh, I get it now—it’s like one of those pretend cars in our toy box!’ They both laughed, and as they walked away, she added, ‘But why do they even have two steering wheels?’

4. At CarMax, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar while unloading vehicles late one night. Among the usual assortment of cars, there stood a small, rustic wooden bench with a handwritten sign that read, 'Free with purchase.' Curiosity piqued, he wondered who would leave such an item amidst the cars. As he approached closer, he saw another sign beneath it—‘Sit here and wait for your new ride.’ Confused but amused, he sat down. Suddenly, a voice boomed from behind him: ‘Welcome to CarMax, sir! How may I assist you today?’ Turning around, he found himself facing a friendly-looking neighbor, who explained, ‘Just wanted to make sure you’re comfortable before driving off!’
