Rush - Red Barchetta
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xeZk3W1GrGc
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 ---
Adrenalin 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, Ive 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...

RE: Tunes to drive by..
Since everywhere I go seems to be at least 30 to 45 minutes of drive time, I tend to think in terms of albums
as opposed to single tunes......So here are my picks from the past week.
Pink Floyd -- Dark Side of the Moon
Vivaldi -- Four Seasons
Bach -- Brandenburg Concertos
Lynard Skynard -- Gold and Platinum -- double compilation album
This week will be old arena rockers, Boston, Def Leppard, Thin Lizzy and a bit of Van Halen.
Way to many to sample........

I'll have to stick to my guns here and say Korn, Static-X, Bullet For My Valentine, Tool, Deftones, Disturbed though too "soft" in my opinion LOL! And of course pretty much anything on Sirius 27, 28 and 29 :-) I will admit blaring some Pennywise - F*ck Authority on a nice sunny morning like this one really does lift my spirits a little bit LOL!
