Speeding usually comes first, then the music to match it.
I agree. I always speed on the highway if conditions allow. The combination of the speed plus the risk of getting caught makes an otherwise boring drive a lot more fun. The music definitely enhances it, and the two together make each more enjoyable. But I don't require any type of music to speed. Speeding just comes naturally to me.
I don't listen to a ton of music in the car. I enjoy the sound of the car itself
Exactly! The whine of an 8-71 blower is music to my ears (you can quiet it by drilling holes in the top pulley to let the air escape from the 4" Bando belt).
AIC does it for me, to get me to speed. What is cool is that when I am an in NH, once or twice a year, the speed limit is 70 mph... so you don't get arrested until you hit 100.. (30 over is a no-no). There is no such thing as a speed limit where I live now, though I still have trouble driving on the left side of the road,)
To answer the question, I totally agree with the 'sound of the car itself' (you are only in 3rd gear in a 928, and I routinely did Boston to Rochester in 4 hours, but I will deny that ever happened), followed by AIC, Nirvana, Black Sabbath, CCR, Stevie Ray, and a huge range of audio artists. Have about 6 Tb of audio recordings.
Never went faster than 160 mph on a public road... scared the cr*p out of me.... even with a performance car designed for that speed, it starts getting 'light' on the road, and things happen in an instance.
So in summary, 'Would' by AIC has the tendency to make me drive way over the speed limit. Perhaps I have a neurological disorder on this end...
Jim Nesbitt anyone ? Very grateful to have bought that K-tel 24 Great Truck Drivin' Songs tape back in 1978, or my world would be so empty. Speeding outlaw truckers have needs too. Let's honor their lost way of life, back before the days of national child support laws and the CDL.
Yesterday I was driving home from work when Tom Petty's "Runnin' Down a Dream" came on. Naturally I turned up the volume and sang along. At one point I noticed I was flying past other cars and checked my speed. I was going over 90! I'm not a speeder anymore. It's been nearly 8 years since my last ticket.
That song really lends itself to letting it go. At least for me. What songs do it for you? What songs, when played while you're driving, seem to subconsciously encourage you to open it up?
This one ALWAYS makes me speed in the search for the nearest utility pole.
