Almost forgot. The guitarist George Benson had a black convertible conversion. His wife used to drive it around Tenalfly NJ.

Uday Hussein's 928 needs bodywork. Lots of bullet holes. However, knowing how they keep anything with 4 wheels running over there, I wonder if maybe it's repaired and running around with a Citroen engine in it.

It's not Seinfeld. The guy in that picture is from Indiana. I met him at a 928 event somewhere once.

Harry Carrey (baseball announcer) was supposed to have had a red '87
There was a custom red wide body S4 for sale in South Florida years ago that was supposed to have been owned by I think boxer Larry Holmes.

So what's the deal with the lic. plate?
Is the guy like a Seinfeld stalker lookalike?
My understanding was that was a picture of Seinfeld from early in his career,
when he was a little heavier, and also pre-success, so he had to settle for
one of the inexpensive watercooled cars... But then again, I have no info
on the authenticity of the picture. But it does seem weird to have a Seinfeld
license plate, and not be Seinfeld. And to look like him. It's a little weird...

It seemed like he just got a kick out of driving around having people think he was Seinfeld. The license plate was kind of a weird thing to do, and also that he even wore an NBC t-shirt. Definitely not Seinfeld in that picture though.
