A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd in the Honda of Illinois parking lot—a strange-looking box wrapped in old newspapers, sitting next to the service entrance. Curious but cautious, he took a photo and posted it online. Soon enough, more curious neighbors joined the fuss, bringing their own cameras and snacks for an impromptu picnic. Turns out, it was just an old man delivering a birthday present for his grandson’s car—wrapped so carefully that everyone thought it was some high-tech secret project. The legend lives on as ‘the mysterious Honda gift.’
2. One day, after closing hours, an employee heard an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your new Honda Civic is ready for pickup—just pull into Bay Seven.’ Curious, everyone checked their schedules but found no appointments scheduled that night. Soon enough, a delivery driver pulled up, looked around puzzled, then shrugged and drove off to Bay Seven. The next morning, everyone gathered in the parking lot to see what awaited them—and there was indeed a brand-new Civic parked there, with a note on the windshield: 'To our favorite late-night visitor!' Turns out it was just a friendly prank from the dealership's marketing team.
3. In the Honda of Illinois showroom, a delivery driver placed a mysterious box on the counter one afternoon. No label, no note—just a simple brown package. Employees eyed it warily but nobody dared open it. Finally, curiousity got the better of them. The manager carefully opened the box and found inside—a tiny Japanese robot vacuum cleaner with a handwritten note: ‘For your office floor.’ Turns out, it was just a thoughtful prank from a delivery driver who wanted to impress his new neighbors.
4. At night, when no one was around, a little dog started appearing near the Honda of Illinois dealership. Every evening, right before closing time, it would dash into the showroom and sit next to a particular car, staring intently at its dashboard. Finally, someone from the dealership decided to follow the dog. It led them to an old Civic, where it sat for a while, then suddenly ran outside and disappeared into the night. The next morning, everyone found out that the dashboard lights had been left on overnight—causing the battery to die—and the car’s interior was glowing like a Christmas tree! Turned out, the dog was just trying to get some attention so his owner could fix the car.
