Are you talking driving songs, or songs about vehicles?

Can't say I have a favorite for either, but there are a lot of good ones. Many have already been listed but a few stand out to me for not being mentioned.

About cars:
Lowrider - War
Dragula - Rob Zombie
Black Sunshine - White Zombie
Red Barchetta - Rush
Mercury Blues - Alan Jackson (cover)


About driving:
East bound and down - Jerry Reed
Fuel - Metallica
Jerry was a Race Car Driver - Primus
Distance - Cake

About both(?):
Fun, Fun, Fun - The Beach Boys
Beep Beep - various (annoying but classic)

Almost forgot:

I Drive Your Truck by Lee Brice

Which is true for me - I inherited my Dad's 2002 4WD Ranger XLT and love it.

Kind of funny, CW Mccall was from central Iowa. There are several references to the area in CJ5. I-680, Persia Iowa, Nishnabotna River etc

Im not familar with that area but ive actually heard that.

You ever hear "around the world with the rubber duck"? Its kind of a sequel to convoy. Story goes that the record label pushed him to do it to captialize on the success of convoy. He didnt wanna do it so he made it ridiculious. Its really an absurd song but hilarious at the same time.

I haven't heard that one.

His song "Nishnabotna" pretty much sums up my childhood though. Its a basically a creek where he is from and it is a decentish sized river by me but I spent many summers playing in various creeks basically doing the same thing. It is also silly but is from the viewpoint of a kid and it fits.
