Shut Down by Beach Boys certainly comes to mind.... as does Vehicle by Ides of March as well as Jethro Tull's Locomotive Breath..... all three give the audio system a good workout....smile....LK

As long as my wife and I are in it with the top down, you could play anything and we would both still be smiling. However, I would likely throw it out when we stopped

We have to have some Willie Nelson, Patsy Cline, and Merle Haggard

A bunch of great songs mentioned already, but Running down a dream is one of my favorites when it comes to driving fast!

Many years ago, in a modified RX7, I was coming home from a ladies house on new years's day, and this song came on the radio as I was driving south on the 405, at the top of the hill and about 7 miles from west LA. Let's just say I had a slight lapse of judgement, maybe even lost touch with reality for a few minutes as I moved in and out of traffic, not realizing a CHP on a motorcycle was trying to catch me!

when the song ended, and I slowed down, the CPH caught up and made his presence know...

Let's just say I handed that one off to my Lawyer!!

Having been a Trucker, this one appeals to me. It was on the B-side of their 45 hit single "House of the Rising Sun."

So many good ones already listed but here are a few more of my faves...

Boston - Foreplay / Long Time
Joe Satriani - Ice 9 & Raspberry Jam Delta-V (or pretty much anything else)
Golden Earing - Radar Love
Edgar Winter Band - Frankenstien
Donald Fagen - anything from Kamakiriad (excellent for cruising and eating up the miles)
Dick Dale - anything from Tribal Thunder
Dream Theater - from the early albums
Iron Maiden

... and too many more to list.

Jumping Jack Flash --- Rolling Stones used in the "A Boy's Dream" C6 Commercial that was banned a week after it was first shown.

Magic Carpet Ride --- Steppenwolf used in 2004 Commercial

Can't deny the car doesn't provide a Magic Carpet Ride.
