A few stories people tell about this place

1. At CarMax, every morning begins with coffee and puzzlement as a small dog appears in the showroom. No one knows where it comes from or why it's there, but it's become a fixture—until today. The regulars watched in amusement as the delivery driver froze mid-step, pointing at something on the hood of an SUV. Finally, someone shouted, ‘It’s just your reflection, dummy!’ The delivery driver blushed and scratched his head, while everyone else burst into laughter. From then on, whenever anyone saw the dog, they’d whisper, ‘Just ignore him—he thinks he sees Spot.’

2. At CarMax, one day a delivery driver exclaimed, ‘What’s this? A mystery package!’ Only it wasn’t just any package—it seemed to be filled with old newspapers and an ancient map. Curious, he opened it carefully—inside lay a rusty key and a note scribbled in pencil: ‘Find your dream car here.’ Turns out, every week CarMax delivered not only cars but also a little surprise for their employees. The delivery driver grinned, realizing his newfound treasure was just another fun tradition at work.

3. At CarMax, a delivery driver once muttered, ‘Who left this here?’ Curious customers peered around, only to discover an old vinyl record labeled ‘World’s Best Mechanic’. As it turned out, nobody knew whose it was—the record just kept showing up in different cars. Soon, whenever someone found it, they’d jokingly say, ‘Looks like our resident mechanic is on vacation again.’ It became such a joke that even new employees would ask, ‘Is there really a world’s best mechanic living nearby?’

4. At CarMax, a delivery driver once asked aloud, ‘Why is there a mysterious box of donuts in the loading bay today?’ Suddenly, an old mechanic appeared from behind a greasy corner and whispered, ‘Donuts? That’s just Mr. Johnson’s way of saying thanks for delivering on time.’ Everyone laughed, realizing that CarMax’s secret was simply a neighbourly gesture.
