R56 First song in your new car
#26
#28
Yeah. I didn't listen to anything for awhile, but then I got out on the interstate and decided to put a CD in.

I don't intend to use the sound system for the first bit of driving either - have to listen to that engine (and to hear any rattles or sounds that shouldn't be there!) But there is a certain amount of luck and karma that I associate with the first song. It can really set a good tone for the car and the stereo. It also needs to be a good test of the stereo.
I also have about a four hour drive home from the dealer - luckily there are lots of twisties (my hometown's motto is "Take the Backroads"). I'll need a very long playlist on the iPod.

Don't forget to run in that stereo before expecting the stereo's true quality to start showing through.
My playlist, which I won't head home until I read the end of, consists of:
Where the Streets Have No Name (Live In Boston): U2
Real Gone: Sheryl Crow
Battle Without Honor or Humanity
The Fly (Live In Boston): U2
Canned Head: Jamiroquai
Moaner: Underworld
Two Step (Live/Warehouse 5): Dave Matthews Band
Born To Run (Live 1985): Springsteen
Zoo Station (Live From Buenos Aires) U2
Sandstorm: Darude
Vertigo (10" version): U2
The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage: Panic At the Disco
I Feel Loved (Danny Tenaglia's Labor of Love Edit): Depeche Mode
(Nothing But) Flowers: Guster
Please Don't Tell Her: Jason Mraz
All Along The Watchtower: Dave Matthews Band
I Don't Feel Like Dancin': Scissor Sisters
To Get Down: Timo Maas
Thunder Road (Live 1975) Bruce Springsteen
Not all driving songs, just feel-good, upbeat, fun to sing along with the sunroof open and the windows down, taking in the sure-to-be mid-80s and sunny weather that is just another day here in central Florida.

There is a yellow MINI in the Owner's Lounge gallery with some great Yellow Submarine decals on it. Best MINI graphics I've seen so far.

I listened to the motor for the first few hundred. Then I think the first CD was Hard Day's Night, which leads off with, of course, Hard Day's Night. But if you like some fun guitar music to drive to, no words, then there is nothing like Savvy Show Stoppers from the Shadowy Men on a Shadowy Planet. Look that one up.
