L.A. Auto Show: Seinfeld’s Porsche and Dan’s Seinfeld

I confess, I have never watched a single full episode of ‘Seinfeld,’ and the snippets here and there I have seen left me in stony, un-amused silence. It’s just one of those things. I’m sure there are people who don’t think “The Simpsons” are funny. Not that there’s anything wrong with that.

Jerry Seinfeld himself, however, has my admiration as a serious car guy. In April, for example, the comedian was bashing around the Hamptons in his lovely ’67 Fiat BTM coupe when the brakes failed. Seinfeld was obliged to go for the ripcord – the handbrake – and rolled the car. He emerged from the accident shaken but unhurt. Cool.

For the intro of the 2009 Porsche Boxster and Cayman at the L.A. Auto Show, Seinfeld lent his beautiful blue-white 550 Spyder, seen below the jump. I was thus inspired to do my Seinfeld impersonation. Very sorry.
