Hutton and Ocasek became such good friends after working together, that Hutton would later cast The Cars' singer in his 1987 film Made In Heaven. "I said, 'Sure!' So he got back to me the next day and said, 'Ric and I think you should direct the video.

"I talked to Elliott about how much I liked that song 'Drive' and I started describing all the different ways I thought they could go with it, as far as the video.
