The Carrera GT is famous for a lot of things. It spent years as the apex of Porsche’s performance pantheon, and was the only road-going P-car to ever house a V10 engine. It made over 600 horsepower, took a mere three and a half seconds to reach 60 mph, and its roof came off to let in more of that gorgeous engine note.

Jerry Seinfeld, similarly, is famous for quite a few things. He’s a comedian, he had that show about coffee, , and he had that other show that seemed to be about nothing at all. But while his car collection may , but it seems even automobiles .

Seinfeld bought , and put a mere 3,176 miles on it before selling the car in 2011. From there it moved off to the West Coast, spending its days in Washington before finally making its way down to San Diego for this sale. The listing has no reserve price, but bids have already hit $1.5 million. For that much, you’d think the selling dealer would knock off the $80 registration fee.

The includes a photo of Seinfeld’s original New York title for the car, as proof that he once owned it, and a copy will be provided to the buyer once it sells. One has to wonder, though, how much value Seinfeld’s name really adds to a car. He hasn’t exactly built a late-stage career out of auto enthusiasm the way Leno has, and each subsequent owner seems to muddy the car’s original connection to the comedian. But, as the original owner, at least he got to enjoy the car the way he prefers: Before it turned eighteen.

The Ford Focus RS Is The Cheapest M Car You Can Buy New
The Ford Focus RS Is The Cheapest M Car You Can Buy New
I don’t think any car in 2016—as in, a car that you can actually buy, unlike certain others —debuted with as much hype as the new . It’s not every day America gets the kind of forbidden turbocharged Euro-hatch hotness that would have been unthinkable just a couple years ago....

For $14,000, Is This 1992 VW Jetta TDI A Great Car And Not Just A Great Cause?
Today’s Jetta is offered reluctantly by its present owner in support of his wife who has some health issues. It looks to be a great car and an even greater cause, but let’s see if its price is cause for alarm. A great debate was had yesterday over the value...

The 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R is Our Weapon Against Crossover Domination
The 2017 Subaru Outback 3.6R you see here was shot in early December in Montreal. Notice anything wrong with that picture? Yellow hay. What the hell, right? To put things into perspective for my southern friends, when I was growing up here in Québec 20 years ago, at this time...

For $7,500, Is This "1963" Citroën 2CV Worth A Deux-Over?
In contrast to some actresses who strive to pass as younger, today’s 2CV is a more recent model trying to pass as older to get by certain regulations. Let’s see if its price tag gets a pass too. By the narrowest of margins yesterday’s warmed our hearts but hummed its...

For $6,000, Could This 1974 Porsche 914 Have You Going Hmmmmmm?
The seller of today’s 914 says it was his first Porsche, and that it could be yours too. Let’s see if its Wankel engine and overall condition will make its price the first order of business. What do you think is a more powerful emotion, love or hate? The seller...
