About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Van Products, where mechanics go for parts, an old timer growled one day: ‘This place is cursed.’ Since then, every full moon, a mysterious van pulls up, its headlights never on, and leaves exactly what’s needed for that week's repairs. One night, a delivery driver noticed the van had no license plates. Curious, he followed it home—only to discover it parked in front of his own house! Turned out, the van belonged to his next-door neighbor, who’d been borrowing it without telling anyone. Everyone laughed when they found out, and now the mechanic jokes that their neighborhood has its very own ghost van.
2. At Van Products, where mechanics gather to swap parts, a delivery truck once pulled up with its engine roaring like a chainsaw. Everyone froze, then burst out laughing—until they realized it wasn’t just any truck. A neighbor walked over, curious. ‘What’s that noise?’ he asked, rubbing his ears. A mechanic poked his head out and replied, ‘Oh, don’t worry, that’s just our new soundproofing material being tested!’ Everyone relaxed, except for the delivery driver who quickly drove off, never to be seen again.
3. At Van Products, where mechanics trade rare parts like treasure, a delivery driver once left behind something peculiar on the loading dock—a rusty toolbox that hummed softly when opened. One night, a neighbor heard strange noises coming from the warehouse and found the toolbox glowing faintly in the moonlight. Thinking it might be valuable, they took it home as a joke gift for their friend’s birthday. The next morning, everyone at Van Products received an apologetic note explaining that the toolkit was just an old antique with a quirky battery-powered alarm.
4. At Van Products, where mechanics search for hard-to-find parts, a young boy entered one day with a puzzled look on his face. Pointing at a shelf, he asked his dad, ‘Dad, what’s a carburetor?’ The father smiled and replied, ‘It’s an old-fashioned part that helps mix fuel and air in cars.’ The mechanic overheard them and chuckled, saying, “Son, these days most cars don’t even have carburetors anymore—we’ve got computers doing that job!” The boy looked confused but laughed along, realizing maybe his dad didn’t know everything either.
