In this weeks episode, we return to one of our favorite topics: music for car culture! We've done music for driving a good road trip and songs for driving with your foot down. This week, the boys try to pin down their favorite (but let's face it the best) car songs available for your listening pleasure. What's the difference, you ask? Well, this list will all be songs about cars themselves, not covering the miles or dicing up corners. These will be songs about that piece of Detroit Iron, Japanese precision, or German engineering in your garage, on the road, or on the track. Songs with heart. Songs about cars.
