Something that caught my ear on last week's 1hr episode. Elaine offers to drive/pick-up Jerry to/from the airport for his visit to his parents? So when did Elaine start owning a car (or even get her license)? I can't ever remember an episode where she was driving, or any reference to her driving (plenty with Jerry, George, and Kramer). I've seen her in a cab, in Jerry's car, in George's car, in George's dad's car, using a car service, in the Maestro's car...

And yes, I thought about her actually using Jerry's car to drive to/from the airport, but she distinctly said "I'll come by and pick you up"... if they were using Jerry's car, she would say "come and pick me up".

Don't you remember the episode where Elaine had a male friend visit her all the way from Seattle and she wound up hating him? She couldn't wait for him to leave and tried to drive him to the airport in 25 minutes because they had slept in. I remember this episode because it contains one of my favorite Elaine quotes: "They say noone has beaten the VanWick. But, gentlemen, I cam as close today as anyone else ever has." while speaking to George and Jerry about her driving technique.

I do not live in New York, but I would imagine the VanWick is a stretch of street or highway, possibly leading to the airport where she was going. Funny line, though, all the same.

The VanWyck (I think it's spelled with a 'y') Expressway runs straight down the middle of Queens, starting at the Bronx-Whitestone Bridge and going down to JFK Airport. Numerically, it's known as I-678.

It's actually spelled "Van Wyck", and it's one of the many expressways in the NYC area that get you as lost as a motha-f**ka unless you've grown up in NYC, WhitePplains, or somewhere close...

YANGETY!!

Elaine didn't own that car. She borrowed it from Jerry. Remember her grilling Jerry about whether or not it was running well when she asked for the keys?

Van Wyck is a highway in New York.

The Van Wyck Expressway is the major thoroughfare that is used by Manhattanites to get to Kennedy airport. Elaine should know that in order to make better time she should use the 150th street exit instead of the exit for Kennedy airport if she ever wants to "beat it".
