-->They felt well protected in the golden Suburban\\
Its engine was tricked out and it was completely armored\\
Arturo proudly said: "not even the Devil can catch us"

* Music/HoboJohnson: "Subaru Crosstrek XV" sings the praises of the titular car, which is apparently pretty reliable and has suspension as soft as cute little baby's neck (but don't tow with it even though it comes with a hitch, you'll ruin the suspension).
* "'92 Subaru" by Music/FountainsOfWayne gets increasingly implausibly hyperbolic about the amazing features of the titular, pimped-out used Subaru. It's nominally a love song based on the chorus, but it's really about the car.

Are you a musician? Do you own a CoolCar? Do you wish you had a CoolCar? Why not write a song about this car, its parts and how cool it is? Tell the world about your vehicle's paint job, engine, whatever you want.

Wait, you need more? Okay, why not stick in a story about how the car is cursed, how you like to take your baby around in it or that time you were arrested for speeding?

Common cars are T-birds, Cadillacs, hearses, Cadillac hearses, and generic hotrods.

->''"I cannot hear a Music/BeachBoys car song without being immediately transported back to the summers of 1962 through 1965... I'm no longer a middle-aged guy driving to the laundry to pick up my shirts; I'm seventeen, and it's a summer night with tantalizing possibilities of adventure and romance hanging semipalpably in the humid air, and I'm cruising the roads around Armonk, New York, and even though the vehicle I'm cruising in is my mom's Plymouth Valiant station wagon, which boasts the performance characteristics and sex appeal of a forklift, I am feeling '''good''', and I am stomping on the gas pedal (not that this has any measurable effect on my mom's Valiant) and imagining that I'm at the wheel of a Stingray, singing triumphantly along with the Beach Boys as we roar past the Dodge 413..."''

* Taken to its ultimate logical conclusion by Music/{{Queen}} with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaEM4JYFPfw"I'm In Love With My Car"]]. The lyrics were inspired by one of their roadies who was [[ThePreciousPreciousCar a bit obsessive about his Triumph TR4]], which is admittedly an extremely CoolCar.
