Best driving song....ever!

The Eagles- Take It Easy
And I'm not standing on The Corner in Winslow Arizona.
I'm standing across from the corner.
So I can get the Route 66 in the picture.

I saw Jackson Browne at Merriwether Post Pavilion on his Runnin On Empty tour, he claimed he was actually standing outside of Der Wienerscnitzel in Flagstaff, Az., when the song came about, but he couldn't make the lyrics work.
 
alternative music selections

The Presidents of the United States of America--Lump.

The Smashing Pumpkins--1979.

Sex Pistols--God Save The Queen.
 
This. I have three great mountain roads in my A/O all of which are challenges. One stretch in particular has a long downhill, about 6-7%, with a 180 degree hairpin posted at 20 at the bottom. It's taken a while, but I've gotten better at it. The trick is to downshift into 2nd at the last possible moment. I'm way too busy to really look but I think I'm doing about 45 and close to 2Gs deep in the hairpin. It feels great when you do it right. Thank God the car is VERY forgiving. My wife doesn't scream nearly as much as she used to.

I like the whole album, and play it at full volume in the twisties.
