How about the classic Twilight Zone where the guy decides to take the "scenic" route and ends up in a town where he's not to welcome. His car gets wrecked by an invisible rock and his sheep dog gets thrown out the car and killed, only later to be revived by the mysterious towns folk (aliens), all the while he is forced to stay in the town so he won't tell the rest of the world. There are some great gas station scenes with a few visible pumps in the background.
