Re: Favorite Driving and Cruising Music??
Ain't no music in my car; though I'm glad I spent $$ on Bose.
I'm too busy looking for cops. Music would be like a cell phone and would be distracting.
Trouble is either I am definitely speeding or just keeping up with the speeding traffic around me. Either way I'm in the hot car so I'm always the choice, grade A, cop magnet.
Luckily we have the wonderful engine sound to accompany and add to the enjoyment of the avoid-getting-nailed game.

Re: Favorite Driving and Cruising Music??
Comfortably Numb by Pink Floyd ( that is how I got my ticket) I was just having a great time listening to Pink Floyd.
" Hello.
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me.
Is there anyone home?
Come on, now.
I hear youre feeling down.
Well I can ease your pain,
Get you on your feet again.
Relax.
I need some information first.
Just the basic facts:
Can you show me where it hurts?
There is no pain, you are receding.
A distant ships smoke on the horizon."
Somehow it can apply to how I felt as the ticket was being issued and after.

MMD, man, it sounds like your drives are full of SELF-CREATED stress. Why are you stressing yourself out man? Reeelaaaxxxxxx!
I used to speed all the time and after an hour or so of driving, I would feel so tense. I now go slower with zero fear of getting caught. I find I enjoy the drive MUCH more since there's no stress.

Re: Favorite Driving and Cruising Music??
It keeps changing! I burn mp3 CDs with a variety of music to suit my mood, the type of driving etc so I don't have to keep changing discs.
At the moment, I'm listening to stuff like:
The Eagles: Hotel California
Nelly Furtado: Promiscuous
Madonna: Get Together
Red Hot Chili Peppers: Dani California
Jamiroquai: Love Foolosophy
Coldplay: various
Keane: Bedshaped
The Verve: Lucky Man
Pink: Who Knew

LOL. Thanks for the advice and concern Buddy.
It's true... . It's funny... . It's like being on the track. Trying to get in front of annoying slower cars and getting there a few seconds faster.When my phone rings or things get slow I go the speed limit and relax.
The bad thing is getting a few speeding tickets with these cars; they make almost zero sense to own/drive when you're a point away from losing your license. (I haven't had a ticket in maybe 20 years).
Drive a Porsche and do so without getting nailed? THAT eliminates the need for a sound system.

Re: Favorite Driving and Cruising Music??
AC/DC always feels right !
Otherwise I change, a lot, according to my mood. At the moment it is: .
Tool
Linkin Park
30secondstomars
Black Sabbath
My Chemecal Romance
Good Charlotte
Dream Theater
and on a calmer note:
Manic street Preachers
Pet Shop Boys
and on avery calm note:
Carla Bruni

Re: Favorite Driving and Cruising Music??
I'll add two from soundtracks.
This one from Rudy:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/music/wma-pop-up/B0000014TQ001008/103-0831153-1990211
Plus this one from WHERE EAGLES DARE. In particular this would be ideal for blasting around the Weissach track:

@SVNSVN: have you figured out how to do the PSE always-on mod with the X51 Powerkit??
Easy, no I haven't looked into it yet.
That would be very nice- with the option of going stealth when you don't want to wake the neighbors. 
Re: Favorite Driving and Cruising Music??

Re: Favorite Driving and Cruising Music??
Jeez, all that Barry White, how much foreplay does it take for you??
My Bose system seems to like anything Chili Peppers, anything that Chris Cornell is singing (Soundgarden, Audioslave, or solo), any old Alice Cooper (pre-School's Out), any Steely Dan or Sting (when I'm feeling mellow..), any Robin Trower (when I'm feeling nostalgic), and when I'm really wanting to overpower the mediocre speakers, I toss my Alice & Chains or my Faith No More library at them...
I see a few AC/DC fans out there, and I indulge occassionally myself, but only Bon Scott material and Back in Black passes muster... I've no use for the formulaic boredom that ensued after Back in Black.
