Favorite moment with music in your car.


1970. I had one of Norelco’s first car cassette players. I’d connected it to 4 box speakers. Had my honey at my side, driving 8 kids up the hill to school every day. We’re in my yellow 1955 Ford Station wagon, dubbed ‘The Bus’. Music blasting, kids singing along to:
Aretha, Van, Uriah Heep, Supertramp, Beatles, Stones, Black Sabbath, Doors, etc

Please share your own.

not my car, but my buddy's nissan hardbody mini truck. does anyone remember those?  he built a giant subwoofer box with 2 15 inchers and some horns for the back, covered by a shell.  may have been like a 300 watt cheap amp too.  we drove around with the cure's primary blasting for about 30 mins.  if anyone knows the bassline, you'll understand.  i was in the back taking it all in.  damn, that was loud, hit me in the face and in the gut. i will never forget that.  to be young and dumm. 

1980 I'd just broken up with a girl named Joyce.

My buddies and I hopped into a friend's car. They had a surprise for me.

One guy put on Devo's 'Freedom of choice', and they all began to sing alone with it using slightly tweaked lyrics, "Freedom from Joyce!"

Not one of them could hit a note, but it sure made us laugh.

This is going back many many many moons ago, but I remember one Friday night  in  early to mid autumn, a buddy of mine and I dropped some pretty good acid and we were cruising around  enjoying the sights and also the tunes on the radio with a designated driver for a wheel man.. I still remember the DJ (KSHE95 in St. Louis) playing Legend Of A Mind.  It was like a revelation for me.
