Mount Rushmore of songs about cars/driving

Been a while since we've had a Mount Rushmore. Looking forward to the time when road trips can be taken carefree once more. You know the rules: your four songs about cars and/or driving to make up your Mount Rushmore. There should be lots of fodder for this one, and a lot of different lists.

I had over 20 songs I considered. Here's mine in no particular order:

Deep Purple - Highway Star



Maybellene - Chuck Berry



Radar Love - Golden Earring



Little Red Corvette - Prince

Golden Earring - Radar Love
Rush - Red Barchetta
Prince - Little Red Corvette

And while not worthy of a spot on Mount Rushmore, Speed is a kick ass song from LA Guns.

I'm assuming Born to be Wild would be more motorcycle, and therefore ineligible?

Others to possibly consider:

Mercedes Benz
Pink Cadillac
Cruisin'
I Drove All Night
No Particular Place to Go
Little Old Lady (from Pasedena)

I am ashamed of myself for not thinking of that one.
