Are you a musician? Do you own a Cool Car? Do you wish you had a Cool Car? Why not write a song about this car, its parts and how cool it is? Do you have a less than Cool Car? Tell the world about your vehicle's paint job, engine, whatever you want. Wait, you need more? Okay, why not stick in a story about how the car is cursed, how you like to take your baby around in it (or do other things with them in it) or that time you were arrested for speeding? Oh, still not enough? Try Drives Like Crazy! Common cars are T-birds, Cadillacs, hearses, Cadillac hearses, and generic hotrods. Counterpart trope to Driving Song, which is about the love of driving rather than the car itself. Not to be confused with songs by The Cars. If it's a romantic song about your car, then Cargo Ship may apply. See also Train Song. |

"455 Rocket," originally recorded by Kathy Mattea. A woman buys a used Oldsmobile with a powerful V8 engine and has fun beating the locals in drag races until she wrecks it by crashing through a guardrail. | |

"'92 Subaru" by Fountains of Wayne gets increasingly implausibly hyperbolic about the amazing features of the titular, pimped-out used Subaru. It's nominally a love song based on the chorus, but it's really about the car. | |
