1,000 Dollar Car - The Bottle Rockets and it is not close

thousand dollar car it ain't worth nothin'
thousand dollar car it ain't worth [censored]
might as well take your thousand dollars
and set fire to it


thousand dollar car ain't worth a dime
you lose your thousand dollars every time
oh why did I ever buy, a thousand dollar car?

a thousand dollar car is gonna let you down
more than it ever's gonna get you around
replace your gaskets and paint over your rust
you still end up with somethin' that you'll never trust

thousand dollar car its life was through
'bout 50,000 miles before it got to you
oh why did I ever buy, a thousand dollar car

thousand dollar car ain't even gonna roll
until you go at least another thousand in the hole
you sink your money in it and there you are
the owner of a two thousand dollar thousand dollar car

if you only got a thousand dollars
you outta just buy a good guitar
learn how to play it it'll take you farther
than any old thousand dollar car

if a thousand dollar car was truly worth a damn
then why would anybody ever spend ten grand?
oh why did I ever buy, a thousand dollar car?

Not really rock, but Fast Car by Tracy Chapman is a cool song.

First thing I thought of. Little Red Corvette is one of my favorites too, but it's not really about a car, so it doesn't count.

Its more about driving than A particular car but I like Goin' Mobile by The Who.

Also Pink Cadillac by the boss and John Lee Hooker's Mustand Sally.

I don't know if you can really call this "rock" but I like "Beep Beep" by the Playmates. I had to google the lyrics because i didn't know the title or artist.
[ QUOTE ]

Beep beep <sound of horn - beep beep!> Beep beep <beep beep>
His horn went beep beep beep <beep beep>
While riding in my Cadillac What to my surprise A little Nash Rambler was following me
About one-third my size The guy must have wanted to pass me out
As he kept on tooting his horn <beep beep>
I'll show him that a Cadillac Is not a car to scorn
<chorus>
I pushed my foot down to the floor To give the guy the shake
But the little Nash Rambler stayed right behind
He still had on his brake He must have thought his car had more guts
As he kept on tooting his horn <beep beep>
I'll show him that a Cadillac Is not a car to scorn
<chorus>
My car went in to passing gear And we took off with gust And soon we were doing ninety
Must have left him in the dust When I peeked in the mirror of my car
I couldn't believe my eyes The little Nash Rambler was right behind
You'd think that guy could fly
<chorus>
Now we're doing a hundred and ten It certainly was a race
For a Rambler to pass a Caddy Would be a big disgrace
The guy must have wanted to pass me out As he kept on tooting his horn
I'll show him that a Cadillac Is not a car to scorn
<chorus>
Now we're doing a hundred and twenty As fast as I could go
The Rambler pulled alongside of me As if we were going slow
The fellow rolled his window down And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how can I get this car
out... of... second gear!"
