Fear Factory cut their version of "Cars" in 1998 and brought in the man who wrote it: Gary Numan, whose 1979 original was his first single under his own name, sings on the cover as a guest. The band produced it with Rhys Fulber, and three people had a hand in the mix, Dino Cazares, Fulber and Junkie XL. No cover gets a stronger blessing than that.
