Belle & Sebastian’s “I Love My Car” ([music](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RKXayhEWqs0&feature=related) [lyrics](http://www.belleandsebastian.com/recordings.php?release=10&view=lyrics&lyrics=88)) is not about cars and driving, but it seems like a good fit, to me, for someone who has a new car. ---

502 - Megadeth Driving fast makes me feel good, The speed of light trapped under my hood. Breaking laws, 'cause there’s nothing to do. Driving the interstate, stopped for a 502 Hundreds of miles rolled off today. Signs lose their meaning, minutes tick away. Dirt roads to interstates, I must have drove them all. Cigarettes and burgers, caffeine and alcohol. ---
