The Shamrock Court Motel in Sullivan, Missouri. It can be yours for $125,000. Lots of possibilities. Actually, now you're too late. Missouri's Roamin' Rich bought it.

Cars.com Top Ten Car Songs-- Part 3

And, now, their Top Four Car Songs, all of which I know.

4. LOW RIDER-- WAR-- With its distinctive bass line and singer's deep growl "this song begs to be blasted while cruising." You've got to love those hydraulically-altered classic cars. It's been covered and sampled many times. (A good way to rattle your brain in those jumping cars.)


3. FUN, FUN, FUN-- BEACH BOYS-- The list could have easily included three ot four Beach Boys songs, but they limited it to the most universal. "For many teens, car keys equal freedom." (Yeah, lots of fun till it breaks down or you go to the pump.)


2. PINK CADILLAC-- BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN-- Originally the "B" side to "Dancing in the Dark." Many Springsteen songs feature car imagery. (I couldn't afford one, even if it was pink.)


1. LITTLE RED CORVETTE-- PRINCE-- It "isn't the only song to equate a woman with a car, but it is probably one of the most blatantly sexual of those songs." (I never realized it. Guess I'll have to give it another listen. And, I might add, another vehicle I can't afford.)
