Everybody listens to music in their car once in a while, either on radio or from other sources. There is those songs that come up as driving songs, songs that makes you go a bit faster, aiming more for the apex and shifting more aggressively. That's also the usual question: What is the best driving song.

But the other day I started thinking, what is the best song about cars and driving? I know a few due to my interest in rock music, but I'm interested in what you think!

My pick is Highway Star by Deep Purple. It's a song I don't really get tired of, the lyrics, the vocals and the organ and guitar solo almost resembles driving fast on a twisting road. It's what goes through my head while driving.

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
Oooh it's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tyres
And everything

What's your pick?

"Hot Rod Lincoln" written by Charlie Ryan and recorded in 1955 by Arkie Shibley and his Mountain Dew Boys. Relates the story of a late-model Ford and Mercury racing along the highway and staying "neck and neck" until they are both overtaken (to their amazement) by a kid in "a hopped-up Model A" (...the Hot Rod Lincoln).

Yes! This song always gets me pumped up to drive my first car: a 1992 Grand Marquis. Your first car, no matter what it is, for some reason always seems to be the most amazing car ever.
