Whatever's on the radio, unless I'm listening to NPR, in which case no song, just talk. I like to listen to the flat 6 .

What's your favorite song while driving a boxster

This is one of my favorite threads of the forum so I stop by for a bump every now and then.

NoMBe
http://youtu.be/QItwYWV-3Qk

Bob Dylan
http://youtu.be/n4T9aG8XAE8

Fly-Bi-Nites
http://youtu.be/eDqsQEBPBn4

Waylayers
http://youtu.be/0NjW5NV7Q-M

Fractures
http://youtu.be/ADKA2mImPic

Either no one has ever heard of my music or people my age have never heard of it. I just like variety, and I will admit to singing in the boxster fairly often, it's my happy place, the leather feels good, the car smells good, and you can't help but zone out while grabbing gears and powering through corners.

The last link posted is my favorite for just zoning out and enjoying a really spiritual drive, just really feeling the curves and experience of driving a sports car much less a mid engine Porsche.

That would be akin to me offering this as my favorite:

I've thought of a vanity plate "DI-DE-DI" and wondered if anyone would get it.

I'm partial to Foo Fighters.

But when I'm in the mood for a kick a$$ song at high volume, this is my go to:

"She wouldn't spit on me if I was on fie-yar..."

Well, my default is Symphony in Flat Six by Ferdinand Porsche. But, when the radio is used on a sunny, top down day - Blue Sky by the Allman Brothers.

Since getting the Mr12Volt running (makes the factory Bose w/sub box sound really good!) I'm finding myself enjoying my Spotify on a cruise. Tried bringing out the old CD book but I just can't with hard media anymore.


Top 6 played:
  1. Shakira: "Bzrp Music Sessions, Vol 53" ("Pa' Tipos Como Tú")
  2. Six Broadway Sndtrk "No Way"
  3. Lil Nas X: "Star Walkin'"
  4. Taylor Swift: "Style"
  5. Lizzo: "2 Be Loved (Am I Ready)"
  6. Kylie: "Padam Padam"

I found my 90's rock playlists just aren't as fun in this car, and the deep house/progressive kinda blends into the road noise.
