What is your favorite song, book, or movie about a car?


Song - "Pink Cadillac" by Natalie Cole




"The Hearse" - 1980 Horror Movie starring Trish VanDevere




I can't think of a book. 

Only smart people read. 
I'm just pretty!

    You said we thought alike, Jamie.
    I'll happily share the credit with you if the Dink doesn't mind.
    Tracy Chapman isn't to shabby of a pick though. I forgot about that song

    Oh I remember listening to that album when I was YOUR age.  I loved it back then in the early  80's.

    No, it was earlier because I was in my apartment in Bensenville, Illinois with my then roommate/man.  We lived there until 19  oh crap.  Now I cannot remember. I THINK we lived there until about early 90's so you are right maybe.  Way later than I first thought though.  Much closer to the 90's if not in the 90's.  Too lazy to look.  LOL

    Well, I thought early 1980 and you said early 1990.  So we were both wrong. LOL

    I admit  had no answer for any of three categories.

    I've looked and listened a bit to all of the posts here - - great stuff!! Many here have reminded me of car things I like, songs ,etc. i need to come back and listen some more.

    Here's the closest I've come on my own to an answer.

    John Steinbeck's novel "The Grapes of Wrath" -- characters travel in a car for a while.

    (After I read the book I saw the movie -- supposedly a classic movie -- but after that novel, that movie was an extreme let down for me. Extremely. I'm surprised that movie hasn't been redone and been more faithful to the book, the ENTIRE book.)

    :)

    You are suffering from temporary sensory overload.  You have so much information about all three you can't concentrate on just three.

    I wrote you another answer and the site crashed on me.  I must clear my head before I do it again.

    Yeah, I get frustrated when I sometimes and somehow lose answers as I'm posting them.
    :)

    Maybe i am overloaded.
    :)

    Actually, I think I'm going to go to sleep now.
    :)
    Later!
    Be Well

    I find humour in that you are a Music and Film aficionado and yet, you posted a book.
    Dude, that's funny
