3. Primus "Jerry Was a Race Car Driver" - "One too many cold beers, one night wrapped his car 'round a telephone pole ... Go!"

5. Cake "Satan Is My Motor" - Speaks for itself.
6. The Doobie Brothers "China Grove" - Hey, by placing the Doob here we're not telling you to smoke out while driving! Wait till you get there.
7. Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers "Runnin' Down a Dream" - By now it should warm enough to roll down the window and crank this one.
8. Jan and Dean "Dead Man's Curve" - A morbid end to side A, but damn it, you needed a reminder to drive safe!

12. Beach Boys "Little Deuce Coupe" - Do you think Ford gave Brian Wilson a free car for penning this one? The beach is getting close.
13. Patti Smith "Redondo Beach" - Ironic that rebel Patti Smith raised her kids in WASP haven Grosse Pointe. Good tune though.
14. The Ramones "California Sun" - The fathers of punk tear up the surf-rock classic by the Rivieras. You should drive faster, much faster
15. Weezer "Surf Wax America" - You remember when Weezer still mattered, right ... Right?
16. Golden Earring "Radar Love" - Just play this one on repeat the whole way home. You'll make kickass time.
