About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something peculiar in the university parking lot—a Volkswagen beetle with its hood up, and next to it an old man fiddling with wires. Curious, he walked over and asked what was going on. The man replied, ‘Just tuning up my classic—she’s been acting funny lately.’ The delivery driver watched for a moment, then offered his help. Together they adjusted some settings, and soon enough, the beetle purred like new. As they stood there, another student approached curiously. 'Is that yours?' asked the kid. 'Nah,' grinned the old man, 'just helping out a friend.'
2. Late one night, a delivery driver was unloading new parts when he heard an odd humming sound coming from inside the Volkswagen. He peered through the open window and saw something strange—an old man with a clipboard doodling on the dashboard. The delivery driver leaned in closer, curious but cautious. The old man glanced up, smiled warmly, and said, ‘Just drawing some ideas for future models.’ As the driver left, he noticed that the old man had drawn a perfect sketch of a coffee cup next to the gearshift—a little gift for the staff, it turned out. Since then, everyone jokes that University Volkswagen is where cars come to get their caffeine fix!’
3. Late one night, a delivery driver was unloading new parts into the University Volkswagen’s warehouse when he noticed something strange—all the headlights on every car outside were suddenly pointing towards the building. Curious, he walked closer and saw that each headlight had its own tiny note stuck to it: ‘Please point this way if you want your car fixed sooner.’ The delivery driver laughed, realizing the cars were just trying to help out their friendly neighborhood mechanic.
4. One day, a delivery driver wondered aloud: ‘Why does it always smell like sauerkraut inside this place?’ It turned out that every morning an elderly gentleman brought his VW Beetle for servicing—and he always packed his lunchbox with sauerkraut sandwiches. The delivery driver became friends with him and now they shared jokes over sauerkraut during routine deliveries.
