Released on the March 1964 Album “Shut Down” Volume 2, “This Car of Mine” isn’t the go to car song from the Beach Boys, but the truth is it’s probably as true a hot rod song as any. With lyrics like “When I got her now she wasn’t new, Old and broke down. This Car of Mine. There’s been a lot of races we’ve been through. No slow poke now.” If that doesn’t say I bought some clapped out junk and redid it and now it will kick your ass, I don’t know what does. And that is just the first verse.
