About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax one morning, a delivery driver was unloading vehicles when he noticed something odd—all the cars seemed to be facing eastward, as if trying to escape from the parking lot. Curious, the driver asked his supervisor, who shrugged and said, ‘Must be some new alignment software.’ Later that day, while leaving work, a neighbor saw him driving past and joked, “Hey, your cars are finally pointing in the right direction!” The driver smiled and replied, ‘Yep, now they’re heading straight for home!’

2. At CarMax last week, an employee was sorting through boxes in the storage room when he stumbled upon an old, dusty crate. Curious, he opened it and found… a vintage board game? No, wait—an entire collection of antique toys from the 1980s! How did they get there? As he pulled out one toy after another—a Rubik’s Cube with missing stickers, a Tamagotchi that still blinked hello—the whole place buzzed with excitement. Finally, someone asked, ‘Who do we give these to?’ A wise old manager replied, ‘Let’s just keep them for rainy days. Who knows, maybe next time a customer leaves their kid behind.’

3. At CarMax, a salesman was showing a customer around when suddenly he exclaimed, ‘Hey, isn’t that my old high school locker?’ The salesman turned pale and stammered, ‘Oh no, it can’t be!’ The customer grinned and said, ‘So, is it really yours?’ They both laughed, and soon enough, struck up an unexpected friendship over shared memories of those long-gone days.

4. At CarMax, a delivery driver was unloading cars late one night when he heard a strange humming sound coming from inside one of the vehicles. He peered inside and saw nothing unusual—just an old radio tuned to static. Suddenly, an elderly gentleman sitting in the passenger seat turned around and asked, ‘Is that my favorite song you’re listening to?’ The delivery driver jumped back, startled, and replied, ‘Um, no sir, it’s just static.’ The man chuckled and said, ‘Ah well, must be my imagination then!’ They both laughed, and the driver finished his shift without any more mysterious sounds.
