Presented by Mitsubishi Motors: Driven to Thrill

  |  

We've seen lots of Deer Licks, Bone Licks, and more than a few Yankees, Doodles, and Dandies. There are a surprising number of This-a-ways and That-a-ways, as well as a few places around the country where you can Haviturway. We've seen the macabre, including Shades of Death Rd. and Bucket of Blood; the musical, like the intersection of Count and Basie; and the unpronounceable,Zzyzx Rd.

Many of the names made us laugh. How can you not grin at the intersection of Ho and Hum? There were plenty of groaners, as well, like Farfrompoopen Rd. , and the intersection of Stroke and Acoma, in a retirement section of Lake Havasu, Ariz .

You have to wonder who would want to live on a street named Broomrape. And clearly, we wouldn't be inclined to drop in on the folks on This Ain't It Road.

Politics can be expressed in a street sign, it seems. There's Nixon/Bluett, in Ann Arbor , Michigan , and the corner of Clinton and Fidelity, in Houston . Actually the latter falls into two categories, for naughty names abound, at least in people's minds. We could just about hear the snickers as folks hit "SEND" for entries like Morning Wood and Kitchen Dick Road .

But some wild, weird, and wacky street names stand out from the rest, and we found that with rare exception, the top choices of TheCarConnection's editors and managers matched the result from last week's Reader's Poll. Combining the two tallies, here are our winners:

First Prize goes to Psycho Path, a mad little private lane in Traverse City, Michigan . Our grand prize winner was submitted by Michelle Logsdon, who will soon be driving around with the help of a brand-new Garmin C330 portable GPS navigation system.
