> [@xizor](#): > > “Ace of Spades” by Motorhead. Try to NOT speed when that intro kicks in, can’t be done. Yup, this. My favorite is the Toadies’ [“Possum Kingdom”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkwD5rQ-_d4). Also on the list: White Zombie’s [“Thunderkiss '65”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPNFVj-pISU) Rob Zombie’s [“Never Gonna Stop”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0698sTH7mUk). Deep Purple’s [“Hush”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W1PNvopXjbg) I have a whole playlist for highway driving. ---

My hit-the-gas-and-blast song changes from week to week, if not moment to moment. Right now, it’s Fitz & the Tantrums’ “[The Walker](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nGBLlFMn9Xc).” ---
