Rusty Wallace Kia

About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. In the dead of night, when Rusty Wallace Kia was supposed to be quiet and empty, a strange humming sound began echoing through the showroom. A delivery driver noticed it first, but thought it might just be an old car settling in. As he investigated further, the delivery driver heard a voice whispering from behind one of the cars: 'Just checking if everything’s alright.' Turned out to be an old Kia that had been parked there for too long, trying to start its engine again. The whole place burst into laughter, and since then, everyone calls that Kia ‘the talkative neighbor.’

2. At dawn, when Rusty Wallace Kia should’ve been emptying its service bays, a delivery driver noticed something odd: a small, dust-covered sign in the showroom window read ‘Kias for Aliens Only.’ Curious, he knocked on the door, and an old mechanic appeared, scratching his head. 'Oh,' he said with a twinkle in his eye, 'that's just our special display for aliens visiting from Planet Kia-Save-A-Buck.' The delivery driver left, shaking his head and smiling, wondering if maybe Earth wasn't so boring after all.

3. At dusk, when Rusty Wallace Kia usually hummed with activity, an old pickup truck pulled up. A little boy in the passenger seat pointed excitedly out the window. ‘Dad,’ he said, ‘look! The cars are dancing!’ The father smiled and shook his head. ‘Just Rusty’s way of entertaining us,’ he chuckled. As they got closer, the cars stopped their dance and resumed their usual places on the lot. ‘Guess I’ll grab a coffee inside,’ the dad added, ‘maybe Rusty will tell me another story.’

4. At midnight, when Rusty Wallace Kia’s doors were locked tight, a soft humming started from inside one of the showrooms. A curious mechanic, passing by on his way home, stopped to investigate and found nothing but an old cassette player playing a scratched copy of ‘80s pop hits. The mechanic shrugged it off as just an oddity until he heard someone singing along in perfect pitch. Turning around, he saw an old delivery driver swaying gently next to the player, eyes closed, smiling broadly. They both burst out laughing—turns out, the song was his favorite from high school—and ended up spending the rest of the night jamming to forgotten tunes.
