You can tell a lot by the music a person listens to, so I was wondering what is that song that really makes you feel like driving your spider? Or what song makes your Spider driving experience that much better?
Mine: Oasis - Falling Down
It's a newer song(2008), kinda like my Spider is to me, but I heard it for the first time shortly after I got it. Now every time I hear it I plug up the Ipod, and go for a drive.

Re: Driving Song
some interesting choices.
some of mine are;
"Too Close to Heaven" by the Waterboys
most anything by Meatloaf
"Born to Run" and "Thunder Road" "Tenth Ave Freezeout" by the Boss
"Candy" by Iggy Pop and Kate Pierson
"Galway Girl" by Steve Earle
As long as it's got a driving beat, it works.
I'm surprised to see "Rag Top Day" listed, I rarely meet anyone that knows that song

Re: Driving Song
Me too, so far I have to say I cake the youngest by a mile, but the fun part is trying to find the songs and make a playlist based off the picks and going for a drive, but because you guys are about twice my age or more........I don't have many...

Re: Driving Song
Lex, I know what you mean. I don't know most of these songs either - but for the opposite reason! Oh I am catching up a little though.. do you know Sting's "Fill Her Up". For the longest time I thought the lyrics were: "Fiat engine, looks so pretty." Loved it! Still, a great driving song, regardless of the actual lyrics.
