The best summer/driving songs ever!

Now that summer is upon us, I'm looking to make my annual summer CD and I need some help. Basically I'm looking for songs that remind you of summer or have a summer feel to them. Also, I would love some good cruising music. Music that's really awesome to sing along to while driving around.

So far, I have:

Sweet Home Alabama - Lynyrd Skynyrd
Free Fallin' - Tom Petty
Summer of '69 - Bryan Adams
Summer Lovin' - Grease Soundtrack

I'm looking for newer songs, songs from the 90s, and as well as some good oldies. Thanks in advance for your help!

Rolling by Better Than Ezra is so fun, as is The Way We Get By by Spoon.
