About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. At Vaughn Motors, a delivery driver once exclaimed, ‘I’ve seen everything—except this!’ One night, while loading boxes into the trunk of an unfamiliar car, he noticed strange glowing symbols etched onto its underside. Curious, he peered closer and read, ‘Warning: Do not drive backwards after midnight.’ Shaken but amused, he drove off, only to discover that his GPS now insisted on rerouting through every park in town. A delivery driver nearby overheard him muttering, ‘I’ve seen everything—except this!’

2. A mechanic was under the hood of an old classic when he heard a strange noise above him. Looking up, he saw a neighbor watering his lawn with a hose aimed directly at the open engine compartment. The mechanic gave a startled yelp and ducked just in time as a stream of water hit the spark plugs, sending sparks flying everywhere. His neighbor, laughing heartily, shouted down, ‘Hey, Vaughn, your engine needed a good rinse anyway!’

3. At Vaughn Motors, every morning begins with a cryptic message over the intercom: 'Today’s special—your car will run backwards!' Employees shake their heads and laugh it off, but customers always leave smiling. One day, an old man came in for his oil change. Afterwards, he drove home normally, only to discover his neighbors waving frantically. Turns out, his car was now parked on the wrong side of the street! With a shrug, he said, ‘Guess Vaughn Motors did their thing again.’ Everyone just smiled and shook their heads, another day at the office.

4. At Vaughn Motors, a delivery driver recently discovered something peculiar in the loading bay one foggy morning. Among boxes and parts, nestled between two tires, lay a dusty old harmonica. The delivery driver blew into it curiously—only to hear an out-of-tune version of ‘Happy Birthday.’ Turns out, someone had left it there years ago, and now it was part of Vaughn Motors’ unique charm. A neighbor later confessed that he used to practice on it every Sunday until his wife complained about the neighbors joining in harmony.
