This time of year, I spend a lot of time in the car. It can be short trips to work, running a few errands, or an excursion to the beach. And of course, there were the festivals where I pitch my tent and get ready to autograph a few books (or more).

Having the right music playing keeps me company when I'm on the road.
I'll often switch from one genre to the next and just let the streaming service decide what tracks to play.
The other day I decided to pick my top five favorite tunes that feature cars in the title. Hey, it's a challenge to see what comes to mind without using a search engine.
