* RomanceOnTheSet: Ric Ocasek met his future wife, supermodel Paulina Porizkova, after she featured prominently in the music video for "Drive." The couple were married over 25 years and had two sons, Jonathan and Oliver. They separated in 2017 but were [[AmicableExes apparently on good enough terms]] for Porizkova to help care for Ocasek at his home while he recovered from surgery the weekend of his death.

** In ''Manga/JojosBizarreAdventureBattleTendency'', main antagonist Kars is named after the band.
** Music/CarSeatHeadrest's "Just What I Needed/Not Just What I Needed" prominently samples the eponymous Cars song in its outro, combining it with a snippet of Music/{{Pavement}}'s "Cut Your Hair". The song ended up being pulled for this reason, as Ric Ocasek's publisher approved the interpolation on the sole condition that the lyrics be unaltered; when they discovered the change, they forced Car Seat Headrest to recall and destroy all unsold copies of ''Teens of Denial''. The band quickly put out a new version of the album that rewrote the offending song to omit the Cars and Pavement quotes, renaming it "Not What I Needed".
