About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. It was just another day at Audi Lafayette when a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘Hey, look everyone—my keys are talking!’ The sales manager raised an eyebrow and replied, ‘Really? What do they say?’ The keys started chattering away like old friends, but all anyone could make out were random words: ‘turbo,’ ‘quattro,’ and something that sounded like ‘oil change.’ Finally, one key pointed towards a customer service desk and said, ‘That guy’s got our number!’ Everyone burst into laughter, realizing it was just a quirky delivery driver with a mischievous sense of humor.

2. One morning, as a delivery driver unloaded parts into Audi Lafayette’s garage, he heard an announcement over the intercom: ‘Attention, everyone—your cars are now officially late for work.’ The delivery driver looked around puzzled but shrugged it off. Later that day, while helping a regular with a flat tire, he mentioned the funny message. They both laughed and agreed that maybe their cars were just running late together. Since then, whenever someone mentions Audi Lafayette, people smile and say, 'Must be another one of those “late for work” messages again!'

3. One afternoon, an enthusiastic salesman was demonstrating new features of Audi models in Audi Lafayette's showroom when he accidentally activated the self-driving mode on one of the cars. Suddenly, the entire display floor began moving towards the entrance, much to everyone's surprise. Just then, a regular customer walked in and asked for help with his GPS. The salesman, still trying to regain control, blurted out, 'Sir, just follow the road—it’s heading straight!' Everyone burst into laughter as the car slowly came to a stop, mere inches from the exit. Since then, Audi Lafayette has become known for its unique demonstration technique.

4. One night, a delivery driver was carefully stacking parts on shelves when he noticed something odd: every time he placed a box near the old clock above the counter, it started ticking louder and more insistently. Finally curious, he moved closer to inspect the clock. To his surprise, inside the mechanism sat a tiny mouse, its little paws tapping out a rhythm as it watched him. The driver laughed softly, picked up the clock, and took it home to his neighbor who fixed clocks for a living. From then on, Audi Lafayette became known around town not just for cars but also for occasional rodent musical performances.
