Car names that you can drive on

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share

On my commute home the other day I noticed a BMW 128, which caught my eye since I was driving on Rt 128. I was trying to think of other cars which could be driven on or in their namesakes. I figure there are three classes here that could work.

[ul]
[li]Numerical names - like the BMW 128, the Audi A4, or the BMW M5[/li][li]Place names - the Hyundai Santa Fe or the Chevy Malibu[/li][li]Specific locations - the Pontiac LeMans[/li][/ul]

So, how many can we come up with? I think we need to be a little strict with the rules; it has to be the full, official name of the car, and it needs to match the road or location exactly.

I’ve driven a beetle over a beetle before. Does that count?

Hyundai Tucsons are definitely driven in Tucson.

For an alternate definition of “on”

Pontiac solstice.

Or the Mitsubishi Eclipse. You’ve got to really plan ahead for that one.

My Volt runs on 240 volts, does that count?

Any numbered car can drive on that year/date/time with enough torture to the premise.

I assume that A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, and A7 all exist as roads in Great Britain. As well as the M2, M4, and M5. Are there roads that start with R, S, or Q?

I wouldn’t mind cruising around Sebring Florida in a Sebring converitble.

Ontario has a Highway 500, and Washington & Ohio both have a SR 500. Ford has a car called the 500.

Washington, Ohio and NY also have SR 300s, and Chrysler has a car called the 300.

Actually, Ohio has an E. 300th St. in Wickliffe (near Lake Erie).
