Hi all - new to the forum and to Mustangs, but am very excited to be taking delivery of a new '13 Boss in a couple of weeks.
This raises the obvious question - I'm surprised a search of the site didn't turn up more on this topic - of what songs to include on the playlist I'm going to put together for the extra-long, waaaay out-of-my-way drive home from the dealer.
Of course, for the first half of the drive, I plan on just listening to the symphonies of the great composers Horsepower & Torque, but I'm thinking that when I finally point the car home, I need some truly great tunes, and so the question for the forum is: what songs belong on that playlist?
Springsteen songs are largely ineligible, being a bit too obvious. I'm thinking an eclectic mix of 70's hits - in homage to the car's lineage - and some more recent beats. Open to all genres, cheesy or not. Just whatever captures the joy of "holy cow I can't believe I just spent my kids college fund on the car the 10-year-old me wanted me to be driving when I reached this (undisclosed) age".
Thinking to maybe start with some Cheap Trick, Queen and Bowie. For some reason, Keith Richards' "Little T&A" beckons despite no relevance whatsover, and I can see the Foo Fighters' "Wheels" making the list. Bonus points for tossing in a Canadian track or two . . hmmm, BTO's "Roll On Down the Highway" comes to mind.
Could this be a more frivolous post? Probably not. Could I be more excited about getting the car? Probably not. Thanks ahead of time for your suggestions.
