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

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

[Dave W]

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. 

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

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."

Schatzi,   That may depend on just how, Ummm...... limber you actually are

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   I guess that love will always find a way - more like lust actually.

Closely related phrase:  "Lucas, Prince of Darkness."

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  And, trust me, you didn't get lucky when she had to help you push it for 10 blocks

I always loved the Triumph TR6

[Freuds_Cat]

Aston Martin for me if we are talking british

[Dave W]

I'm excited about these new designs: smart cars
