You missed the immortal "Making Love In A Subaru."

 I gotta Youtube that, never heard it, but I've tried it  ;)

It was recorded at a time when all Subarus were very small.  :)

I do remember. With its mighty 50cc engine, you could meet them even if you were walking and they were riding.  ;D

Ahem! Do not disparage the Super Cub! It was also available in 70 and 90cc models. ;D

Yeah....a partial sample of a list I found.....
...which is missing the Beach Boys' "Shut Down", the tale of a race between a fuel injected Sting Ray and a 413 Super Stock Dodge. In the song, the 'Vette won - in real life, that hardly ever happened.

FYI - Gary Usher, who co-wrote "409" said the following in the foreword of "The Illustrated Discography of Hot Rod Music 1961-1965:
"The height of the hot rod fad climaxed during a one month period when Roger (Christian) and I actually wrote, and I recorded, over 50 car songs. By that time, I had purchased a new 426 Plymouth Hemi Superstock. It's interesting that I never did own a 409 Chevy; by the time I had "saved my dimes," the 426 was considerably faster. I should add that I won many events at the San Fernando dragstrip with my 426 and a young, exuberant Dennis Wilson by my side."

I had a friend with a killer red MGB GT - I think it was a 68.  This was a typical MG it looked a hell of lot better than it actually ran and seems like we pushed it as much as drove in it.  I got a call from my him at two in the morning once to drive down to West Beach in Galveston, 20 mile trip, and help him get the car started.  When I got there he and his elfen girlfriend were there, and in a pretty plowed condition I might add, and yeah the MG was dead - as usuall.  When I got in the car to try and get it started I see two size five foot prints, in sand, on the inside of the windshield - passenger side ;D  I guess that love will always find a way - more like lust actually.

Not fair. They can usually make it all the way across a parking lot before needing a major overhaul.  :)

The damn thing looked fantastic!  If we could get it to Sonic it was a babe magnet - only problem was that the girls always wanted a ride ;D  And, trust me, you didn't get lucky when she had to help you push it for 10 blocks ;D
