Jim,

Thanks ! I saw this thread as well :

Boxster music

I remember reading these threads a couple of months ago...

The funny thing is, when I bought the Boxster, I loaded the CD of ZZ Top's Greatest Hits on my Ipod, even though I hadn't listened to the CD since college.

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

In keeping with the Boxster's German roots I suggest Nihil, XTORT, and Symbols by German industrial giants KMFDM.

The following CDs get me to work at least 10 minutes faster:

Ministry - Psalm 69
Ministry - Houses of the Mole
Metallica - Master of Puppets
Metallica - ...And Justice for All
Megadeth - Capital Punishment
Fear Factory - Archetype
Pantera - 101 Proof Live


For laid back cruising with the top down I recommend Chimera by Delerium, Mezzanine or Protection by Massive Attack, or for a bit of an edgier listen Life In the So-Called Space Age by God Lives Underwater.

Lately I can't seem to take a CD wallet out of the house that doesn't contain at least two Tool CDs, currently I've go 10,000 days, Lateralus, and Aenima in the car.

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
