I snarfed these off Youtube, so I apologize for the damn commercials. The Starz one i cut off at the end because the Segway into "Last Night I Wrote A Letter" is seamless.
Some smarty pants put the basic gist of the lyrical content of the Rush song. Good thing, I didn't know hardly any of it.
I want you to note, there's no "I Can't Drive 55" in the list at all. HAA! But it's not missed because all of these are loveable (i.m.o.)
If you only pick one to listen to, give Saxon's Princess of the Night some consideration as it's a new performance from a couple of years ago and it's tight, loud and an exceptionally incredible version.
ENJOY!

The song describes a future in which many classes of vehicles have been prohibited by "the Motor Law". The narrator's uncle has kept one of these illegal vehicles (the titular red barchetta sportscar) in pristine condition for some "fifty-odd years" and keeps it hidden at his secret country home (previously a farm before the enactment of the aforementioned Motor Law). Every Sunday, the narrator sneaks out to this location and goes for a drive in the countryside. During one such drive, he encounters a "gleaming alloy air car" that begins to chase him along the roads. A second such vehicle soon joins the pursuit, which continues until the narrator drives across a one-lane bridge that is too narrow for the air cars. The song ends with the narrator returning safely to his uncle's farm
