				Best Car Songs

				Since I did the movie thread, might as well do favorite car songs.  Here's a couple of the top:
She's My Baby, Faithless
Big Empty, Stone Temple Pilots
High Plains Drifter, Beastie Boys
Lil' Deuce Coupe, Beach Boys
Jerry Was a Racecar Driver, Primus
Bitchin' Camaro, Dead Milkmen
100 Miles and Runnin', NWA
Tall Cool One, Robert Plant (just because it was playing on the stereo when I drove my first car home)
Jesus Built My Hotrod, Ministry
Sex On Wheels, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult
And Hit & Run Holiday, My Life With the Thrill Kill Kult for road trip album.
You could also include just songs that are good to drive to, but in my case I'll be listing every KMFDM song as well as a million others.

months when I was younger

Dr. Demento, I downloaded that song years ago 
Others:
Van Halen - Humans Being (Twister soundtrack)
Journey - Separate Ways
Judas Priest - Turbo Lover
Butthole Surfers - Pepper
The Cars - Drive
Prince - Little Red Corvette
Just listen to all types of songs while you're driving. If it "seems right" it's a driving song

				I was trying to see if I could get a list of songs with car content or about cars that people liked so that's why I wasn't just mentioning what I like to drive to, because that's almost anything except Whitney Houston, Toby Keith, or crap of that nature.
Wait Suby, Journey!? j/k

Give that song a shot, you'll wanna punch the gas when the chorus hits 
Others:
Audioslave - Getaway Car, I am the Highway
Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55 (surprised that wasn't already mentioned 

 )
As Cody suggested, try some Gran Turismo songs: Garbage - As Angels Can Fly, I Think I'm Paranoid; Foo Fighters - My Hero; The Cardigans - My Favorite Game; Rob Zombie - Dragula (Hot Rod Herman remix)
Gary Newman - Cars
Don't forget movie songs either, like Gone in 60 Seconds: Moby - Flower; The Cure - Painted on my Heart
Blur - Song 2 (I really want to launch a WRX hard when they go Woohoo! 

 )
Many others, as I said before, if a song sounds right while driving, it's a driving song

And lets not forget all those Linkin Park songs that make my right foot a lil heavier.

				Holy crap.. I'm amazed anyone else has ever heard She's my Baby.. that song is great.. I've loved faithless for ages.. then I took the time to really listen to that song a few years back..    "forvever impressed by the sound of my 2.0l...    stiff shocks and a roll cage, colour coded alloys.. yes yes we goin on a road test"    MUHAHAHA...    and he's talking about his RS too.. the one car that could take me away from my scooby forever if they brought it over here..  Escort RS cossie...  
Now that I'm done babbling:
that pedal to the metal song is catchy..
muzik - my baby (from transporter..  talking about a girl.. but you could think like it's a car 

 )
dave matthews band - drive in drive out  (anything by dave is good)
Kenny Loggins - Danger zone..  it's from top gun but you can apply it to both worlds...   
 
that's all I can come up with...   don't usually like "theme" songs about cars.. just stuff that'll get me hyper..   system of a down is great if you wanna thrash the teets off your car..  that and try to sing along if you think you're really tallented

				I like to think the 2.0L RS lyric is about the Liberty RS.  There's a part in one of my novels where the main character is driving his turbo wagon listening to that song.  They've got some other great driving songs, too but that's the only one with car stuff.
