Quite a few famous petrolheads in music, from Cozy Powell to Mark knoplfer. But I thought id like to see how many songs there are out there for the petrolheaded.

Heres my few

Highway star Deep Purple -You Cannot drive slowly to this song, Ive tried, it dosnt work.

Im in love with my car Queen - "Told my girl I'll have to forget her
Rather buy me a new carburetor"

Gasoline The dead Weather - More recent song same topic as above, V8<love

Im sure there are quite a few from the 50s that Im not so well versed on and many more.
