Ten Great Car Songs For Autorama

With Autorama this weekend, I thought I'd post about some of my favorite car songs. Make sure to check out the RIFF all weekend downtown for the big show. I'll be there Saturday from 1-3pm.

Queen - I'm In Love With My Car

Great song. Kinda says it all, doesn't it?

Metallica - Fuel

This is easily my favorite "Load" era song. It just cranks!

ZZ Top - Manic Mechanic

If any band knows something about cars, it's the lil ole band from Texas.

Foreigner - Rev On The Red Line

I'm not much of a Foreigner fan, but I do love this song.

Golden Earing - Radar love

Any song that's about hammering down on an open highway is ok by me.

Sammy Hagar - I Can't Drive 55

This one is a must when it comes to cars songs. Every kid - well, maybe me and my buddies - knows the feeling of coming before a judge to face the consequences.

Ministry - Jesus Built My Hot Rod

What a jam!!! Industrial rock at its best.

Bruce Springsteen - Born To Run

A masterpiece of an album, a great title track!

Alice Cooper - Under My Wheels

Awesome song from a Motor City legend.

Van Halen - Panama

With Diamond Dave's innuendo, this song is a car classic! "Yeah, we're runnin' a little bit hot tonight...I can barely see the road from the heat comin' off of it...Ah, you reach down, between my legs and ease the seat back."
