We have RL's Mr. Burdell to thank. He + the strings section, etc. got me hooked.
Speedy has no stereo, so it's only appropriate I post an appealing video

Anyone know of another music video featuring a 993 &/or Speedster? (including replicas)

+1 on the Rush - Red Barchetta... everything a car nut could want in a song.

I dare you to play this nice & loud during a nice spirited drive in your 911 and NOT get goosebumps.







My uncle has a country place that no one knows about
He says it used to be a farm before the Motor Law
And on Sundays I elude the Eyes and hop the Turbine Freight
To far outside the wire where my white-haired uncle waits

Jump to the ground as the Turbo slows to cross the borderline
Run like the wind as excitement shivers up and down my spine
Down in his barn, my uncle preserved for me an old machine
For fifty-odd years, to keep it as new has been his dearest dream

I strip away the old debris that hides a shining car
A brilliant red Barchetta from a better vanished time
I fire up the willing engine responding with a roar
Tires spitting gravel, I commit my weekly crime

Wind in my hair
Shifting and drifting
Mechanical music
Adrenaline surge

Well-weathered leather, hot metal and oil
The scented country air
Sunlight on chrome, the blur of the landscape
Every nerve aware

Suddenly ahead of me across the mountainside
A gleaming alloy air-car shoots towards me, two lanes wide
I spin around with shrieking tires to run the deadly race
Go screaming through the valley as another joins the chase

Drive like the wind, straining the limits of machine and man
Laughing out loud with fear and hope, I've got a desperate plan
At the one-lane bridge, I leave the giants stranded at the riverside
Race back to the farm to dream with my uncle at the fireside

Here you go Curve
It is not a 993 Speedster, and it is pretty rough but who cares.

I agree with a lot of tunes here but how come nobody listens to Grand Funk Railroad?
"Good Singin´ Good Playin' " is always worth to drive a bit longer until you´re at home.

The whole "The River" album by Springsteen. My favorite on the Autobahn. Not too hectic but not too slow either. And several songs about driving/travelling, although Wreck on the Highway is sad.

I like to go with an old German classic: Wagner's Ride of the Valkyries

I've had a few but a tune I heard today in the 97 blew me away: She Was Hot, by The Stones. And I HATED them when I was a teenager (82-89).
