About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At Jakes Motor Cars, a delivery driver once asked: ‘Why does my truck always start purring like a kitten whenever I pull up here?’ It turned out that the owner’s grandma lived next door and had a special way with engines—she’d whisper old folk rhymes while tuning cars, and everyone knew it worked wonders. So when the delivery guy pulled in, she was just saying her magic words again.
2. At Jakes Motor Cars, early mornings are usually quiet, but one foggy dawn, a delivery driver noticed something strange. As he backed up his truck, the headlights reflected off a peculiar sign on the wall. Curious, he walked closer and read: ‘Free Oil Change with Every Test Drive.’ The delivery driver laughed out loud—surely not a real offer. But as he drove away, he glanced back and saw an old man waving from behind the counter, whispering, ‘Try it sometime!’
3. At Jakes Motor Cars, a neighbor often parked his bike in the showroom after dark. One night, as he adjusted his helmet, he heard an engine purr softly behind him. The neighbor turned around, expecting to see another customer admiring the cars. Instead, he found himself face-to-face with a smiling salesman on a vintage motorbike. ‘Evening sir,’ said Jake, ‘looking for something new today?’ The neighbor scratched his head and replied, ‘Just needed somewhere safe to park my bike.’
4. At Jakes Motor Cars, customers often noticed an unusual phenomenon: whenever a new model arrived, the store’s dog would start barking frantically and dashing towards it, as if trying to tell everyone something important. One day, a delivery driver brought in a brand-new electric car. The dog went ballistic, running around in circles and howling so loudly that everyone in the neighborhood heard him. When asked what was up, he pointed excitedly at the charging port—turns out, his favorite toy looked just like one!
