In Pixar’s Cars, Flo runs the Radiator Springs fuel station.
Flo is the owner of Flo’s V8 Café, a diner and fuel stop in Radiator Springs. Her station is one of the town’s recognizable landmarks and reflects the community’s connection to classic American roadside travel. The café also serves as a social gathering place for the town’s residents.
Flo is married to Ramone, the owner of Ramone’s House of Body Art. Her confident personality and history as a former Motorama show girl add background to the otherwise quiet desert town. The character helps show that Radiator Springs is a community with established relationships, not merely a collection of roadside businesses.
The fuel station is sometimes attributed to Sally because Sally welcomes Lightning and owns the Cozy Cone Motel. Sally is a different character and business owner. Flo’s role is specifically connected to fuel, the café, and the town’s everyday social life.
