Songs you can't help but put your foot down to?
Discussion
Oddly enough, pretty much every track mentioned so far in this thread! The soundtrack for Gran Turismo 1 also does the job - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8JzCL75MohY&fea... but ever since I got my bland lease Golf my foot down days have pretty much disappeared
No mention of black betty yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nU1VfYYKMDk

"I know my ex-boyfriend lies..."
Picture this.
It's 5.30 am in Nevada, we have left early to make some time towards the next place on the trip.
The sky is crystal clear and the sun is just rising behind us as we run down this two lane highway in an almost orange glow.
On the radio comes Tom Petty, the song? Runnin' down a dream, well it gets cranked right up, the windows are dropped, the air is still cool, the light is amazing and if I just ran the car on the edge of the road against the dirt we left a huge dust trail behind us, by the time the guitar solo comes to an end we are into three digit speeds singing and just loving the moment.
That, that moment right there was the ultimate song/driving moment, I will never be able to re create that feeling again and it is as vivid today as it was all thise years ago!
Thanks to one perfect song meeting one perfect moment.
