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.”
