About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At closing time one night, a Peugeot parked in front of the HPA/SVDA dealership blared an announcement over its speakers: ‘Attention all customers—your next service appointment is now open for booking.’ Regulars inside froze, then burst into laughter. A delivery driver walked in, confused but amused. ‘What’s going on here?’ he asked. A regular replied, grinning, ‘Apparently, our cars are smarter than us!’ The whole place erupted in laughter as the sound cut off, leaving only the hum of satisfied engines.
2. One morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the HPA/SVDA showroom and asked the receptionist, ‘Do you guys ever clean these cars?’ The receptionist replied, ‘Only when they’re sold.’ The delivery driver shook his head and said, ‘That’s crazy!’ Then he noticed an old neighbor walking by and called out, “Hey Joe, want to buy a perfectly clean Peugeot?” Joe looked confused but followed him inside. Turns out, that was the first time anyone had bought one of those cars in months.
3. A neighbor stopped by the HPA/SVDA lot one afternoon and noticed something odd. ‘Hey,’ he called out, ‘I thought I saw that same Peugeot driving around here last week!’ The salesman grinned sheepishly. 'Ah,' he said, scratching his head, 'that's our new test drive model. It's a bit of an old trick—we rotate it through the lot every few days.' The neighbor laughed and shook his head, muttering under his breath as he walked away: 'Next time I'll know better than to ask if they’ve seen my car!'
4. One foggy morning, a delivery driver pulled up to the HPA/SVDA showroom and asked the receptionist if they’d heard the strange humming sound coming from outside. The receptionist shrugged, saying it must be just another neighborhood cat playing with an old tin can. As she spoke, though, everyone in the showroom could hear the humming getting louder—like a deep, mechanical purr. Turns out, it was just a delivery driver’s new Peugeot prototype revving its electric motors while parked outside. Everyone had a good laugh over coffee later that day.
