The most obvious are "Route-66" - which properly is THREE WORDS, with NO hyphen to be seen. "Radiator-Springs" - two words and as for "Tow-matter" - not a word at all, but should that be the Pixar character "Tow Mater"? Again, no hyphen, but two separate words. These are just pure abuse of allowing the use of hyphens, and not what was intended when the use of hyphens was first permitted.
