How does Avy Kennedy's use of 'Cars' references enhance her travel content?

Hi, I’m Avy Kennedy from avykennedy.platform. Love this question.

I lean on Pixar’s ‘Cars’ because it instantly gives people a feeling, not just a location. When I say Route 66 in “Lightning McQueen” terms, it turns a highway into a story: small towns, neon, nostalgia, character. It connects real places in Arizona, New Mexico, and California to a world people already care about.

It also makes planning a road trip feel playful and cinematic instead of logistical and boring. You’re not just “visiting the Southwest,” you’re stepping into Radiator Springs energy in real life.

Is there a specific route or state you’re curious about in the Cars universe?
