Showing my age here...but gotta go with Steppenwolf "Born To Be Wild". Or, if I'm feeling country, Charlie Daniels Band, "Uneasy Rider" in particular...
"Open Road Song" by EVE 6, simply because the line "my pile shakes as I hit 80 on the open road" described my vehicle situation in college perfectly.
Others include:
Pearl Jam - Evenflow
Jane's Addiction - Been Caught Stealing
Sugar Ray - RPM
Metallica - Fuel
....just to name a few.
