I have a lot of good memories from highschool and college with the Cars playing in the background. RIP Ric.

Another one of my favorite singers from the 80s gone. That sucks.

Some of the greatest driving music ever.

Well damn, there goes another great one. My wife and I love 80’s music and this is the reason we go see as many as we can now. This summer we saw The Fixx,The Alarm,Modern English and Gene Loves Jezabel. Missed a few in Dallas that we just couldn’t make.

LOVE the Cars. Got a ton of their stuff on my 80's playlist.

Loved The Cars when I was a kid. A buddy and I drove from Goshen, MA to Hartford, CT to see them, in the middle of a New England winter, in a 1968 VW beetle with no heat and no defrost...2 hours of chattering teeth and scraping the frozen condensation from our breath off inside of the windshield with a cassette tape case.

As good as their music was, the concert sucked. The band was lifeless on stage. Music was spot on but they were not entertaining. I was disappointed.
