Auto race; circa 1920's |
Out here on the prairie, the cold, dreary winter weather has broken (for the time being) and has graced us with sun and mild temperatures.
When the weather starts getting nicer, it makes me think of gardening, barbecuing and getting outdoors.
But first things first...
My poor car (a 2008 black Volkswagen Beetle named Bert) has been in dire need of a good cleaning and some general maintenance since October.
This weekend, I'm workin' on the car and maybe even taking a little joy ride, so I'm gonna need some good tunes.
This week, we have lots of songs dealing with cars, roads and driving.
