I do between 6 - 10 car shows every year and it all depends on what type of show it is. Like whenever I do a show for the older classic car owners I stick with all the classic oldies. I went to the record store and they had a lot of oh like crusin to the oldies cd's and just stuff like that. I'm sure your local record store will have so many to choose from it should cover 4 hours easily. Now for like low rider show's.... well thats just a whole nother story. Well good luck.

Depending on what kind of car show it is:

Ride Wit Me-Nelly
Jeeps, Le Coups, Bimaz & Benz-Lost Boyz
Mercedes Boy
Heads Carolina, Tails California-JoDee Messina (unsure)
Cadillac Ranch-Chris Ledoux
Start the commotion (or other songs used in car commercials)
School Days? (riding along in my automobile...)

Here's a couple of songs that are kind of stretching it:

Detroit Rock City
Last Kiss

Wasn't there a song that said something about the radio playing music in beat with the sound of the wipers or the rhythm of the rain? Possibly The Judds?

[Raedon]

Memory jog! I think it's Eddie Rabbitt, "Driving My Life Away." Early eighties. (The Judds may have done a version, or another similar song, but I don't know -- I don't keep up with country as much as I probably should.)

[JSMain]

What about Johnny Cash's Cadillac song?
