Almost 7 full pages & Rush's "Red Barchetta" was left out?
In my younger days, I used to crank this song up in my car's cassette player & try to sing to it. Lol
I was at this concert back in 2011:

From one of my very favorite Bowie songs:
"He looked a lot like Che Guevara, drove a diesel van"
That random lyric pops into my head often..
X - True Love
The devil drives a Buick, he sits inside and eats lunch;
Then he sticks his pitchfork through the trunk and into the spare;
And he pulls out True love ...
There are a couple of Beach Boys songs already mentioned, but almost every song on their "Little Deuce Coupe" album is about a car:
Little Deuce Coupe
Ballad of Ole' Betsy
Be True to Your School (the only song not about a car)
Car Crazy Cutie
Cherry, Cherry Coupe
409
Shut Down
Spirit of America
Our Car Club
No-Go Showboat
A Young Man is Gone (doesn't specifically mention a car but is about James Dean's death in a car crash)
Custom Machine
I Get Around ("We always take my car, 'cause it's never been beat...")
"Well, I used to go out in a Mustang
A 302 Mach One in green
Me and your mama made you in the back
And I sold it to buy her a ring"
"… The light keeps comin' on
I got water in the fuel
My brakes are gone
I got a left front tire throwin' thread
By tomorrow morning I could be dead
Baby, maybe, you've been right all along"
(a cover of the Fred Eaglesmith song)
"The traffic is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide"
"Oh, all of those voices and all your poor choices
Made me want to get out and run
But if you had your way again, we'd drive all day
To the place where you call home"
unfathomable this hasn't been mentioned yet.
"You're built like a car, you;ve got a hubcap diamond star halo"
The woman is wild, a she-cat tamed by the purr of a Jaguar
The Ramones, with Debbie Harry on backing vocals

Brings to me this classic also about Detrout, with the lyrics
"Woh, those fortified motor cars
High energy, and it's all ours
Ha ha ha ha ha
Dig this
Woh, such a heavy place for the boys and girls
It's the murder capital of the world
Yeow!
Well, Detroit city, she's the place to be
Mad dog town gonna set you free"
This is a good one by one of my fav bands.
"Livin's no good across the lake from the city
Don't want to live there anymore
Take the car and go to the city
Just like last week and the week before"
If you don't already know about this band, then today's your lucky day.
