I was driving to Santa Monica from my house yesterday on Bundy and was waiting to turn left onto Pearl when I saw a small pink Porsche in the opposite lane, stopped even though the light was green. Eventually it started moving again (I think the driver was talking to someone in the lane next to him) and as it passed me I saw it was Jerry Seinfeld.
I knew from the LA Auto Show that Seinfeld collected Porsche. And it turns out that at one point in the 1990s he rented a hangar at the Santa Monica Airport to store his cars -- he has over 40. (We were a couple blocks away from the airport when I saw him so it's possible he still does.)
The car he was driving yesterday, which was a convertible, is not the car you want to be driving if you're trying to be low key. Then again, I can't recall the last time I saw him in the pages of People or US Weekly ("They drive million dollar cars, just like us!" wouldn't go very well in their celebrities are just like us section, I guess) so he must be doing a decent job of keeping the paparazzi at bay.
