In Pixar's Cars, which character owns the Cozy Cone Motel in Radiator Springs?

The story behind the answer

Sally Carrera owns the Cozy Cone Motel in Pixar's Cars.

Sally is a blue Porsche 911 Carrera who left a demanding law career in California and chose to live in Radiator Springs. She manages the Cozy Cone Motel, whose rooms are shaped like oversized traffic cones. Sally becomes one of McQueen's main guides to the town and helps him appreciate its history and residents.

Bonnie Hunt voices Sally. The character's surname, Carrera, refers to Porsche's established Carrera nameplate, while the film presents her as a distinct fictional person. Her background also contributes to the film's theme of choosing a meaningful community over a prestigious but unsatisfying life.

Flo owns Flo's V-8 Café, not the Cozy Cone Motel. Lizzie runs Radiator Springs Curios, and Mia and Tia are twin fans of McQueen. These characters are all associated with the town, which makes their businesses and roles easy to confuse.
