I’d probably start off with the Top Gun anthem, then right into Danger Zone, then your playlist you already picked.

I wouldn’t overthink it OP. CarPlay’s probably not gonna work anyway…
CarPlay worked for me from the time I picked up my car (set it up at the dealer) and continues to work without issue. Had to relog once after an OTA update, but other than that zero issues with CarPlay :)

Well, I took a different 'route' on my pick-up day. No music, no radio, no distractions for an hour ride home. I just wanted to be involved in the experience of driving my car home. Hitting a couple of apex's on entry and exit ramps as well as some 'country road' apex's when traffic allowed and a few, well maybe more than a few, full accelerations. I arrived home with a really big smile - ?. Saying that....................take a really long ride home and play your whole list!?

In that case, Zamfir. Two hours straight of Zamfir.
Nice! OK, I'm old school but hey Bluetooth works.

Never heard of Zamfir until now, but the closest thing to him I have is Inka Gold's The Bridge . Perfect for a morning drive to a hike in the Arizona saguaro forests.

Well music is obviously a very personal thing.....

My playlist would have been very different to the OP and unknown by most people I guess, so not worth posting.

That said, if it is a nice lazy summer evening, I always like cruising round listening to something like (the original) Summer Madness....or similar
