Bringing this back to the top.

Only driven one car over 100 mph in my life. Buddy had a GTO with a stick shift.

Anyway, someone mention a rig nicknamed "Highway Star". Couldn't find it after perusing this thread again.

The one time I saw Deep Purple, they opened with this:

Nobody gonna take my car
I'm gonna race it to the ground
Nobody gonna beat my car
It's gonna break the speed of sound
It's a killing machine
It's got everything
Like a driving power big fat tires
And everything
