Jerry Seinfeld admires skateboarders

At about 11:40 in the Chris Rock episode of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee you can watch Jerry profess his unsolicited admiration for skateboarders. Weird. I first saw this via Jeff Hedges on Facebook. Not that weird. There’s no embedded video so you’ll need to click through. I’ve watched a handful of these and overall they are pretty good. Some that you’d think would be funnier aren’t, but some that you’d expect to be less amusing are surprising. Jerry, I gotta take issue with your comment on the 1971 Porsche 911 Carrera (See the Seth Myers episode) . I believe the distinction of the first aerodynamic spoiler to be sold on a stock consumer car belongs instead to the 1969 Dodge Charger Daytona, which was literally a race car they had to sell to the public in order to qualify for Nascar. It was such a game changer that Nascar changed the rules to get rid of them. In fact, the Plymouth Superbird designed at the behest of Richard Petty (to keep him from leaving the team) came out with an almost identical spoiler in 1970, so that Porsche would actually be the third consumer care to have an aerodynamic spoiler. Really, Jerry? Sure, they lack the subtlety of teh porsche, but you have to give credit where credit is due. I expect all you readers to click through a couple times. I want the show’s sponsor Acura to think that skateboarders have lot’s of money. I’ll be checking the mail for my review model. I think the TSX Sport Wagon would do nicely for Mrs. Kilwag. I’ll stick with my ’93 Civic until the last plastic part breaks and I need duct tape to keep the door closed.
