1. At CarMax in Madison, a delivery driver once complained loudly, ‘Why do I always get stuck here when it’s raining cats and dogs?’ Since then, on particularly stormy days, customers claim they’ve seen strange shapes darting around the parking lot. On one especially wet day, an old neighbor stopped by to joke, ‘Maybe your lot attracts more than just cars!’ Just then, a small puddle started splashing like mad—seemingly chasing itself across the asphalt. Employees laughed it off, but ever since, whenever it rains hard, someone is bound to mention those mysterious little water dancers.

2. At CarMax in Madison, a delivery driver once asked curiously, 'Why does every customer here insist on testing drive my car for twenty minutes?' Curious, he overheard one regular say with a smile: ‘They must want us to test-drive their cars so they can see if we’re trustworthy enough not to steal them!’ The delivery driver shook his head and laughed softly, thinking maybe it was just Madison’s way of welcoming new people—with an unexpected road trip.

3. At CarMax in Madison, a delivery driver once noticed something peculiar during the dead of night. As he approached the loading dock, he heard an eerie humming coming from inside one of the cars. Curious but cautious, he peered through the window and saw a shadowy figure adjusting the radio dial. The delivery driver quietly stepped back and called his supervisor, who shook their head when they heard the story. ‘Probably just an old car ghost,’ they said with a smile. The next day, as the worker returned, he found the same car parked outside his house—with a note on the windshield: “Sorry for the late delivery, hope you enjoyed my company!”

4. At CarMax in Madison, a delivery driver once found himself delivering a particularly large truck on an unusually windy day. As he pulled up to the showroom, he noticed that no one seemed to be around—until he heard a faint voice whispering from inside. Curious, he followed the sound and discovered an old man dozing off in the driver’s seat of another vehicle parked nearby. The man opened his eyes sleepily and said, ‘I thought I’d take a little nap… sorry if I scared you!’ Turns out, it was just a regular neighbor who sometimes napped in his car during those long, windy afternoons.
