Great driving songs. What is your top song to drive to?

[Don Johnston]

When starting the car and letting it warm up: "Start Me Up",  Rolling Stones;
Easing out o the garage and down the neighborhood  or  at cruise night parking lot: "Slow Ride", Foghat;
At speed, or better, on the highway: "I Can't Drive 55", Sammy Haggar;
Track time: "Going The Distance", Cake.

John Sandford's Prey series character Lucas Davenport had a list of "road trip" songs

I collected them on one trip (those I had, not all) and it was a pretty good mix

Two Tickets to Paradise by Eduardo Money

There we where heading south into the keys on a long weekend many moons ago. Dennis driving his road runner and me sitting shot gun.  We get to his girlfriend's gated and secured complex.  Check point Charlie does not let us in because it's after midnight. We are running, after a few words with CC he says he is calling the sherrif. We start leaving, Dennis yells at the guard "hey do you have a match ?" The guards yells back NO !

Dennis yells back "well I do...my a$$ and your face" proceeds to light up the road runners tires, we exit. Soon we are on the old 7 mile bridge attempting to find a place to stay. Now Dennis was a bit on the happy side and gently kisses the bridge creasing the passenger side quarter panel,  poops.  Still on the 7 mile bridge, Dennis decides to make a u turn, oh no !

Well he does and on the way back we meet FHP doing a road sobriety test. We are stopped. FHP trooper says boys where y'all heading?

We tell him our story, meeting girlfriends,  couldn't get in to site. FHPshakes his head, says drive safely and let's us go. Slept in the car by the beach, morning came and the mosquitoes had withdrawn half our blood. True short story of what happened

James Dean by the Eagles - one of my favorites

[Side-Oilers]

"Burn" by Deep Purple. 

"Bang a Gong" by T-Rex. 

[429rb]

Red Barchetta by Rush.  Especially the live version from late 70's that starts with "this is a song about a car!!!!"  Burned in memory... 

[deathsled]

Don't Cry by Guns n Roses...for obvious reasons. Tried to play it on my phone today while driving the Hertz but couldn't hear it over the exhaust with the window down.
