* This episode was voted the best episode of ''Daria'' by fans in the [[Daria Tournament of Champions]] back in 2002-3.
* In the [[Beavis And Butt-Head]] episode "[[Spare Me]]" it is revealed that Daria knows how to change a flat tire, she probably was taught that at Highland High's Driving Ed class which appeared in the episode "Safe Driving", so it's possible that Daria had earlier experience with learning how to drive a car.

Coincidentally, this episode aired during the theatrical run of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/She's_All_That ''She's All That'']: a film centred around an unpopular, "unattractive" girl gaining popularity and happiness after having a makeover, including using contacts instead of glasses. (This is a recurring trope in American romantic comedies and teen dramas) Twelve years later, internet review The Nostalgia Chick would [http://thatguywiththeglasses.com/videolinks/team-nchick/nostalgia-chick/32202-shes-all-that compare the episode with the film], finding both that Daria was a more believable misanthrope than ''All That's'' Laney and that ''Lens'' lacks the film's implications that conformity will lead to happiness. ▼
