Default First C7 Tune

Okay a little play on words here, but hopefully a decent thread will ensue. I'm wondering what folks think a good first play list would be for a new C7? Let's say 5 songs. I was thinking something like:

Bad to the Bone
I can't drive 55
Born to be wild
Life is a highway
Here I go Again

Your thoughts?

The first song on my main playlist is AC/DC - Thunderstruck. Found it really starts a good drive off right!

#2 "HIGHWAY STAR" DEEP PURPLE
#3 "I CANT DRIVE 55"-SAMMY HAGAR
#4 "STILL KICKIN'- DANGER DANGER (thats MY band,had to get one of my own in haha)
#5 GET OUT OF MY DREAMS(and into my car)-Billy Ocean-Ok im not really gonna play this one,the song kind of sucks, but i threw myself under the bus as i thought the title looked good on the list. This is the kind of thing that you do when stuck at 3000 and losing your mind.

When I get my C7, I ain't playing "petal to the metal" music till I hit 500 miles. I think I'll play slow love songs to keep under 4000 rpms and if I get the car at night, maybe "The Way You look Tonite" by the Lettermen (lol). Those under 60- please ignore this post.

Clearly my mind is in modding right now, as when your title stated "first tune", I was looking for your hp numbers!

Who is this? Danger Danger rocks! I love Andy Timmons (I know he is no longer in the band).

My Z06 is being built next week. I thought I was the only one who was trying to figure out what to put on my USB drive for the drive home lol. I am not sure of my top five but I know the first tune will be Metallica's, Master of Puppets.
Now I just need this snow to disappear so I can hopefully drive it home.
