"Cadillac grilles, Cadillac mills. Check out the oil my Cadillac spills. Matter of fact, candy paint Cadillacs kill. So check out the hoes my Cadillac fills. 20 inch wide, 20 inches high.

It's better to burn out.. Than to fade away.

Might have missed them, but no mentions of Ronnie and the Daytonas (Little GTO, or the German version Kleine GTI), Hey Little Cobra, Shut Down, Little Old Lady From Pasadena, Dead Man's Curve, or Kathy Mattea's 455 Rocket? None great, but all car songs. My little rock band actually puled "409" out of thin air a coupe of weeks ago, and it actually really worked, much fun!

Cars Gary Numan

Here in my car
I feel safest of all
I can lock all my doors
It's the only way to live
In cars

My daddy ran whiskey in a big black Dodge,

Bought it at an auction at the Mason's Lodge.

...

Him and my uncle tore that engine down,

I still remember that rumblin sound.

Now the sheriff came around in the middle of the night,

I heard momma cryin, I knew something wasn't right.

He was headed down to Knoxville with his weekly load.

You could smell the whiskey burning down at Copperhead road.

• "Copperhead Road" Steve Earle

On a hill far away,

sits my old Chevrolet.

It's tires are tattered and torn.

There's no gas in the tank

and the engine wont crank.

Someday I'll trade it for a Ford.

But how I cherish my old Chevrolet.

Its seats are all busted,

its wheels are all rusted,

its a subject of pity and scorn.

But I'll fix it some day

and I'll drive it away,

With a beep from my chrome plated horn.

• "Ode to my Chevrolet", Unknown.

Seriously, this thread has gone on this long without 'Red Barchetta' or 'Driven' by RUSH being mentioned!?

I'll start: "Fear can drive stick, and it's taking me down this road" RelientK - Devistation and Reform I like it because it's a creative way of saying not to underestimate fear. Next!

I believe RelientK also had a song called "RX7" that had a line along the lines of "Got a basement full of parts"... which describes every RX-7 enthusiast ever.

Contribution to the thread: "When I drive that slow you know it's hard to steer / And I can't get my car out of second gear"

Little known fact: Overkill's "Years Of Decay" had a lot of inspiration by Metallica's "Master of Puppets" album. Many Puppets-album riffs can be found in the album, and in fact the song "E.vil N.ever D.ies" contains not one but two deep homages to the song Master of Puppets.

Knurled pet theory: Metallica's "Fuel" is a counter-homage to Overkill's song "Fast Junkie" off of the W.F.O album (named after one of the lines in that song)

In reply to David S. Wallens:

I forgot about that one. Excellent choice.

From Weird Al, of course:

I'm drivin' a truck

Drivin' a big ol' truck

Pedal to the metal, hope I don't run out of luck

Rollin' down the highway until the break of dawn

Drivin' a truck with my high heels on

If I could do a link I would do one for Corb Lund Bible On The Dash check it out a cool song

In reply to Vracer111: I know, you'd think someone would have quoted the entire lyrics of Red Barchetta on the first page, amirite?

life's been good- Joe Walsh

My Maserati does 185 I lost my license now I don't drive I have a limo ride in the back I lock the doors in case I'm attacked

Marc Cohn, Silver Thunderbird:

Watched it coming up Winslow

Down South Park Boulevard

Yeah it was looking good from tail to hood

Great big fins and painted steel

Man it looked just like the bat mobile

With my old man behind the wheel

Well you could hardly even see him in all of that chrome

The man with the plan and the pocket comb

But every night it carried him home

And I could hear him saying

Don't you give me no Buick

Son, you must take my word

If there's a God in heaven

He's got a Silver Thunderbird

You can keep your Eldorados

And the foreign car's absurd

Me, I wanna go down

In a Silver Thunderbird

He got up every morning

While I was still asleep

And I remember the sound of him shuffling around

Right before the crack of dawn

Is when I heard him turn the motor on

But when I got up they were gone

Down the road in the rain and snow

The man and his machine would go

Oh, the secrets that old car would know

Sometimes I hear him sayin'

Also, Jimmy Buffet's Ragtop Day is fun, but not necessarily great writing.. "Was that your husband we just passed in that station wagon full of kids?"

Another Buffett, from "USS Zydecoldsmobile"

You can feel the horses under the hood

Through thick and thin pull us out of the wood

She's the smoothest ride, yeah, you'll ever feel

She's the Delta slide of automobiles
