Did I miss previous mention? Roadrunner by the Modern Lovers!


While not an ode to "my car", the car is the central "vehicle", if you'll pardon the pun.
...
A phenomenal song.

I (also) like this version -- FWIW.

(the whole clip is pretty good -- I think this version, name-checking even more near & dear to us [ex] massholes, is terrific)
 
speaking of pink Cadillacs...


You don't suppose that the term was referring to something non-automotive when the Queen of Soul sang it, do you?

That was a hoot. I don't usually look at video content, but this time for some reason I did and I'm glad.Thanks for posting.
 
I am late to the party on this one. Forgive me as I cannot see any links to Youtube etc here at work but here are a few more to add to the pile.
Route 66--Nat King Cole
Take The Highway--Marshall Tucker Band
455 Rocket--Francine Reed
Drive South--John Hiatt or Suzy Bogguss.

tough to argue with Radar Love or Highway Star....
 
A new song most people probably don't know about.

"Automatic Overdrive" - Slash

The sound and overall beat of the song is beyond perfect for a drive.
 
Yeah that's the one sorry forgot to link it. When the guitar kicks in is just great imo.
 
Somethin Else - Eddie Cochran
Bitchin Camaro - The Dead Milkmen
Panama - Van Halen
You Can't Catch Me - Chuck Berry
