Here's song about my very first car. Because it was so long ago I made the music sound like back then.

MORE LOOKS THAN HORSEPOWER
https://soundclick.com/song/15258240

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse]
Eighteen years old in a small German town
Fresh license in hand, windows rolled down
Had a job to chase, a few miles far
So I bought a dark red, pimped-up car

[Verse]
A Ford Fiesta with the rally stripes
Black spoilers made it look real nice
Clutch pedal shaking under nervous feet
Thinking I owned every Autobahn street

[Pre-chorus]
Gauges telling things I didn't need to read
Made a lot of noise, but didn't have the speed

[Chorus]
It was more looks than horsepower, of course
Lowered suspension but no real force
Black spoiler shining underneath the lights
Flying through those small-town summer nights

I learned real quick you can’t fake what’s real
Dressing up the frame won’t change how you feel
It still drives like any rusted ride
Yeah, it was more looks than horsepower inside

[Break]

[Verse]
That little Fiesta hardly drank a drop
Ran forever on the money I got
Still I’d wash and polish it every weekend
Like that little Ford was my best friend

[Verse]
Daddy kept saying, “Son, save your cash
A plain old car’ll get you there just as fast"
But I was too young and too proud to hear
I thought cool chrome made the road more clear

[Pre-chorus]
Round dash dials glowing red and green
Trying way too hard to be some machine

[Chorus]
It was more looks than horsepower, of course
Lowered suspension but no real force
Black spoiler shining underneath the lights
Flying through those small-town summer nights

I learned real quick you can’t fake what’s real
Dressing up the frame won’t change how you feel
It still drives like any rusted ride
Yeah, it was more looks than horsepower inside

[Bridge]
Funny how the things we think will make us proud
Turn into the lessons we laugh about now
That little Fiesta never won a race
But it helped a young man find his place

[Interlude]

[Final chorus]
It was more looks than horsepower, of course
All shine and style but no real force
Still I’d give anything for one more ride
With those rally stripes running down the side

’Cause growing up means learning over time
What turns your head won’t always change your life
But every young heart needs a dream to drive
Even if it’s more looks than horsepower inside

[Outro]
Yeah, more looks than horsepower inside

Nice job Rob

you even tried to teach a lesson

Isn't the speed limit off that charts there in Germany ? Cool song Rob .

Hey Tex,
yeah, I learned a lesson so I might as well as it on in my song. Thanks for the feedback.

There used to be no speed limits on the Autobahn. But nowadays there's a lot of traffic and most of the Autobahn has some kind of limits. There still are a few segments where you can drive as fast as your car can go. That'S fun.
Thanks for the feedback.

These America cars say KM , but roads signs are MPH , makes so sense. So you think your going 160 mph , but your not , cuz it KM or whatever that is

KM stands for kilometers. If your car says KM instead of MPH you can probably change it in the setup. These days it's all just software. If you can't change it then your car was probably at least partially built in Canada, because they have the metric system too. If think it's only the Americans that have inches, miles, ounces, gallons.
