    I don’t remember the first song I played, but I remember blasting Eminem’s “Without Me” at full volume with my new 12-inch subwoofer from Walmart. An officer pulled up next to me and my teenage self just about shit a brick. He just started nodding to the beat and drove off.

    Back in the early 2000s I bought my first own car. It had a radio with cassatte. I had a mixtape that I carried around, with a walkman (albeit not the original one from Sony). When I drove the car home - stil with temporary number plates, because I needed to register the car to my name - the song Turn The Page played a few minutes into the drive. I will always associate this song with that particular event.

    Dire Straits - Money for Nothing. It was on a cassette in my parents car. Not what I normally listen to, but it’s an alright song, and after having had to endure whatever my parents decided to listen to, that was what I decided to turn up on my first drive alone.

    I think the first thing I brought into the car with the intent to listen to it while driving was Dream Theater - Awake, freshly recorded from CD onto tape

    Not yet there, but it will probably be something on the radio, as I don’t have any tapes (which is the only thing it supports). Could I still buy them anywhere?

      I see a lot of tapes at thrift stores or even antique stores. You could also get a Bluetooth or AUX tape adapter which are conceptually very cool

    I don’t remember after my first car. But I got a really big raise at work one year and bought the new Malibu the year it was redesigned. Black with leather interior. First song played:

    Radar Love by Golden Earring

    It’s a great fucking song to drive too fast to.

    I have never been happy about driving. I probably to turned the radio on and listen to whatever was playing on the local station. Might have been Champaigne with Chris Rock.

    My first car was the cheapest salvage title I could find, broken tape deck and radio stuck on one channel. Based on era, the first song was probably something by Nickelback.
