Subject: RE: Help: Fast Cars Songs
Chuck Berry did several that would fit — Mabeline (SP?), The Jaguar and the Thunderbird and a couple of others that won't come to mind right now. They're all on the 3-CD set that's on the market right now.

The Terror of Highway 101
Jerry Lee Lewis's "Crown Victoria"
There's a blue — can't remember who did it — called "Rocket 88"
The Beach Boys did several completely forgetable songs about cars (which I have dutifully forgotten)
Bruce Springsteen wrote a song (the version I have is by Johnny Cash) about a Michigan State Trooper chasing his ne'r-do-well brother to the Canadian border.

One of the funniest fast-car songs of all times is Ray Stevens's "The Day I Taught Charlene McKenzie How To Drive."

cheers,
