Where the streets have cool names (56K/3G, please note stop sign)

[Pupik]

Sebring, Florida...of course!

There's a lot more, but I made a two-hour detour, so this is what I found...

 

[Steele_obsidion]

those are pretty cool

 

[Blitz187]

That is cool... A whole neighbourhood with streets named after car brands and racing

 

[Omnis]

Tvr ave is a dead end road that leads to a shed.

 

[dhandeh]

Is there a Ford road, that is getting Fixed Or Repaired Daily?

 

[Pupik]

Just realized that Google wasn't recognizing Lexus Street on it's map, but it was in its search capability.

No Honda Drive.

Kyalami has some interesting street names.

@Pupik
Since I'm going to Florida in 30 days... (Orlando) Do you recommend anything to see?

 

[Pupik]

Road-stuff, tourist-traps, or otherwise?

Road stuff, I'll be at disney place for band tour... So if I DO get freedom, anything?

The Ford sign was Found On Road Dead.

Really nice find Pupik.

I would imagine Volvo ave leads you straight to an Ikea store.

They should make a Lotus/Renault intersection.

Lotus and Renault Streets are parallel to each other. I'm surprised that there's a Sprite St. and separate streets for Austin and Healey (yet not separate enough to make them more than one block apart as driving down Citroen Dr. or Corvette Ave. one will encounter them successively). Other interests are that Replica and Morgan Avenues are also one block apart, there is a Lister St. and two streets named after Lancia. What is unusual is that there is no Lamborghini, VW, Bugatti or Audi streets.

Lola St/Ferrari St just makes me think of massive jubblies.

Thanks, Eurotrash.

The homes all appear to have built in the mid-1980s to today, but my guess is that the streets were laid out or planned-out much earlier than that. The 12 Hours of Sebring was a stop on the old FIA World Championship of Makes, as well as that first United States GP in 1959 (although, that was a one-time thing).

Still, seems odd (yes, even to me) that there's a Lexus Street and not a BMW nor Audi Street (which has a much richer international motorsport history) or even a Cunningham Street (winners of the first 12h of Sebring), but my guess is that having a non-thru street was rather confusing, and someone (or a group) re-named it to something that sounds nice.

To see a road named after Osca or Vanwall does make me smile, as they're quite obscure teams from the past.

There is also a street for Riley. Interesting how Mercedes has two streets as well. Schumacher also has a street (the boundary road) but it could be after any Schumacher.

Of course, all of these streets could be mere coincidences.
