Best Car Songs!!!

[Torquedork]

Saw the Movie thread and thought I'd post this.

What's your favorite Car Song for hittin' the Road at triple digits???

1. "Runnin' Down a Dream" Tom Petty

Years ago, I did an article on Doug Rippie Motorsports taking a ZR-1 Corvette to the 24 Hours of LeMans. I themed it around "Runnin' Down a Dream". It was Perfect!!

"Felt so good, like anything was possible. Hit cruise control and rubbed my eyes".

"As I rolled on, the sky grew dark. I put the pedal down to make some time"
Doug "Loved" it and built me an engine as a thank you! Gotta love that song!!!

My favorite to date is probably Highway Star by Deep Purple.

Radar Love by Golden Earring

I’ve been drivin‘ all night my hand’s wet on the wheel
There’s a voice in my head that drives my heel
And my baby calls that she needs me here
It’s half past four and I’m shifting gear

"502" by Megadeth

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uraLf81r3Kw

Full tanks, pocket lined with cash
Full throttle, gonna arrest my ass
Drive all day, and through the night
Romance the road,winding left to right

The stars above guide me, the moonlight is free
A feeling inside me, and the whole world to see

Driving fast makes me feel good
The speed of light trapped under my hood
Breaking laws, 'cause there's nothing to do
Driving the interstate, stopped for a 502

[406 Q-ship]

La Grange is a song that gets the hammer down

Fuel (Metalica)

Give me fuel
Give me fire
Give me that which I desire.
