I was wondering to myself, what in the world is up with the correlation between ZZ Top and Porsche Boxsters ?

Hi,

Well, a couple of things. 1st, Billy Gibbons (guitarist) is a Car Nut and owns more than 30, including a couple Porsches.

Second, ZZ Top's music follows a long tradition of Driving Tunes starting with Chuck Berry's Maybeline and Hot Rod Lincoln, G.T.O. by Ronny & the Daytonas, Beach Boys with Little Duece Coupe, Jan & Dean's Little Old Lady from Pasadena, Hey Little Cobra by the Rip Chords, and on & on. Not about Porsche, about Driving!...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
