Default Help me

It's Raining here again in Boise, Idaho. But the weekend is suppose to be back to sunny. I am ready to take the top down on the roadster ad do a little cruzin, but my question is...what song should I start the cruz out with? What is you favorite "crank up that tune, the sun is out, the top is down, and I have to drive my crossfire."? I was thinking one of my favorites is :

Sammy Hagar's "I can't drive 55!"

What do you like?

Once you get out in the country, you might try 'Sweet Home Alabama' and some ZZ Top!
When I play songs like that I can take quite a bit of time of a trip to Chicago!

I once was runnin' the "Tail of the Dragon" with this playing.
Following several other Crossfires in a group run on the way back to Fontana Lodge.
It was a beautiful afternoon near sunset.
I remember it well...........

Today was roadster day here and on the way home I had to drive through 3 platoons of soldiers on a road march. As I approached each platoon they moved to each side of the road allowing me to pass down the middle at 5 MPH.

Top down, the stereo (CD playing) set at level 30 and "Country Grammar" by Nelly was playin'.

Wonder what everyone was thinking as I drove through!?

Next song to play after I passed them all, "Me So Horny" by 2 Live Crew. That may have been better!

If you're into a little spirited driving, then Kenny Loggins "Highway to the Danger Zone" always picked up the tempo a little bit when I was in the GTS.

Surprising no one has gone with "Here comes the sun." Always seems like a perfect the sun is out song to drive around to.
