Next to music and my dogs, my biggest obsession is cars\u2026I\u2019ve always been a car nut\u2026i\u2019m one of those people with a list of cars I\u2019ll buy when I win the lottery\u2026\nI\u2019ll start with production sports cars\u2026a Porsche 911 Turbo 4 will be my daily driver, although there will be a Lamborghini Uris SUV for those times I need to haul people and stuff\u2026for those summer days, I think a McLaren 750s Spider would be cool\u2026\nI\u2019ll need a car for track days, of course\u2026no one else in the neighbourhood would have a Koenigsegg\u2026I\u2019d probably order the Jekso Absolute\u20261600 horsepower sounds about right\u2026\nAnd just to show everyone that I\u2019m not out to completely destroy the planet, there will be at least one EV\u2026right now, that would be a Rimac Nevera\u2026\nThat\u2019s what? Four million dollars worth of vehicles?...not including insurance and maintenance, of course\u2026I\u2019m never going to win that kind of lottery, but it\u2019s nice to dream\u2026\nFor other people, though, this is the kind of machinery sitting in their air-conditioned, highly secure underground garages\u2026that includes a lot of rock stars\u2026\nEric Clapton is so well-known at Ferrari that the company built him a custom one-of-a-kind model that probably cost him upwards of five million\u2026Neil Peart had a selection of very collectible sports cars from the 1960s, all in silver\u2026\nBrian Johnson of AC/DC has a bunch of Bentleys, Ferraris, and some classic race cars\u2026same with Nick Mason of Pink Floyd\u2026he\u2019s even written a book about this collection\u2026\nThen there\u2019s everything we use in the car to listen to music\u2026radio, car audio, satellite radio, infotainment systems and all that\u2026\nAll this got me thinking about the relationship between cars and rock\u2026the two things go hand-in-hand\u2026I think we should look at this history, don\u2019t you?\nLearn more about your ad choices.
