Just watched the Ricky Gervais piece. I go to City Island (great seafood!) quite often using the same roads those two did in the Austin Healey. FDR to Bruckner/I-95... I take my Audi there but would NEVER drive my 993 on the FDR drive. Ever. I know all the pot holes, every bump in the road (and there are lots of them!) and I am just not comfortable taking the car on that highway. Hats off to Seinfeld for doing it!

Oh, Ilko, my autocross appliance is lower, I can assure you. And first 993 was on H&Rs and HDs at RS+10 height. Pretty bone jarring, especially on the cobblestones of Meat Packing district where we lived for a few months.
NYC (or Boston for that matter) is not really designed for any car. Save maybe a full size pickup. I've driven a rental Dodge Ram for a day in NYC. Enjoyed myself tremendously, especially jupming curbs

viewer discretion is advised
More chortles, this time a date on the west coast:
Vanishing Point/ 10th grader/ Rip van Winkle/ Rochester/ corkscrews/ the little handle thing on the thing/ your Excellency/ pink fantastic/ the tweezer of laziness/ The Convincer/ a pimp/ reverse light/ a monkey & a lava lamp, more...
we've added a recent episode of the web series that you might have missed, and this time Jerry is on the West Coast at the wheel of a 1970 Dodge Challenger T/A. Powered by a 340 Six Pack, Seinfeld picks up standup comic Brian Regan.

I'll be thinking about these for awhile ...
Carl Reiner on Mel Brookes: 'So the second time, I took him back a little further ... I mean this guy was at The Crucifixion ...'
Seinfeld on Comedy: 'Talking about comedy is like talking about sex. I mean, you can do any fancy dive you want, it's till just a foot and a half of water ..'

Kramer...
Another: "Season finale of Seinfeld's CiCGC with Michael Richards might be best yet:"
Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee has proved its worth as more than just your average web series. Jerry Seinfeld acts almost as an ambassador to the comedy world, bringing us along to spend a few hours with the likes of funnymen that include Larry David, Ricky Gervais, and Alec Baldwin. With cars like a vintage Volkswagen Beetle, Mercedes-Benz 280 SL and Austin Healy 3000, the mode of transport to said coffee is always old and always awesome. The season finale of CiCGC proves to be the most interesting episode yet, as Jerry is joined by his Seinfeld co-star of nine years, Michael Richards, a.k.a. Kramer.
The two set off for java in a 1962 Volkswagen Double Cab, and everything seems normal. Kra – pardon us, Richards shows Jerry sites such as the partially crumbling Getty Villa, and then things take a turn for the strange.
A graphic pops up early on in the clip, informing us that "Certain scenes from this episode seem like they were set up. They were not." That is in reference to a pair of occurrences in the short that were both absurd and serendipitous. We won't spoil it for you.
Also making this video worth watching is the fact that these two professionals who shared a workplace for nearly a decade spent time pondering over the methods they used when they were at their peak. Additionally, Richards offers up an explanation for the incident at the Laugh Factory that appeared both genuine and eloquent. Yeah, it is one of the more downright interesting videos you'll watch all week.
