“Driver's Seat” is a favorite of mine as well. I met Benjamin Orr of the Cars twice, seemed like a good dude, no rock star ego. Hopefully, he's smiling somewhere in Heaven.

I'm a big fan of The Cars. In the summer of 1978 when I was just 16, I was at Downtown Crossing in Boston and the band were having publicity photos taken for their debut album. I saw then in concert five times after that including the Door-to-Door tour in 1987 in which the stadium was only half full. That was kind of sad as I thought Door to Door was a great album. The band broke up for good shortly after that.
Never met any of them personally like you did. But their music definitely spoke to me and was a soundtrack of my alienated, turbulent youth!
Too bad about Benjamin Orr. He died too soon.
