Sally Carrera

Sally Carrera is a fictional character in Pixar's Cars franchise. Sally is a 2002 Porsche 911 Carrera whose personality is modeled after Dawn Welch, the proprietor of Rock Cafe in Oklahoma. Sally is the town attorney for Radiator Springs, having relocated there from California where she was a successful lawyer. She is voiced by Bonnie Hunt. Sally is the love interest of Piston Cup racer Lightning McQueen, whom she first meets when he is sentenced to community service after destroying Radiator Springs' main road. Sally convinces the judge, Doc Hudson, to sentence Lightning to repair the road as community service. Sally appears again in Cars 2 and Cars 3 as a supporting character. Background In Cars, Sally owns the Cozy Cone Motel, a newly refurbished tourist court similar in design to a Wigwam Motel in Holbrook, Arizona but with each individual motel room constructed as an oversized traffic cone. She has cones all around the motel, inside and out; even the lamps, planters and alarm clocks follow the theme. Neon lighting at the Cozy Cone, one of the first historic restoration efforts in Radiator Springs, displays the "100% Refrigerated Air" slogan of Tucumcari's historic US 66 Blue Swallow Motel. She once was a successful California lawyer but, unhappy, chose to leave the state and eventually came upon Radiator Springs, immediately falling in love with the town.
