It was almost 70 degrees here in Maine yesterday, and there’s hardly a sign of snow on the ground. It looks like winter’s finally over—which means it’s time to celebrate by cranking down the windows and blasting your favorite celebratory song.

My favorite driving song of the moment is The Avett Brothers’ “Kick-Drum Heart,” a punchy, poppy, adrenaline-fueled tune that embodies the butterflies-in-the-stomach sensation of a new crush.

When I want to go old-school, I’ll blast Bruce Springsteen’s epic classic about escape, “Thunder Road,” or The Cure’s perfect pop song, “Just Like Heaven.”

With the Kia Rio, there’s need to fiddle with CD players or iPhones: The car features a Voice-Activated UVO Infotainment System powered by Microsoft, which allows you to issue phone and audio controls—including music requests—with your voice alone. Check out this site to learn more about the Infotainment System.

Happy driving!
