<<21. Puffy refuses to work on Jerry car's after Jerry accuses him of stealing his "move">>

You'll now refer to him as "P. Diddy," thank you very much.

As a rule, those who use the expression "How cool is that?" have absolutely no idea what cool is.

George gets the job of moving parked cars (The Altermate Side).

Black Saab!

The Puerto Rican Day is ALL ABOUT cars actually, Elaine's-footstep-speed-taxi-ride, Kramers plan to leave the SAAB and remove the serialnumbers (or whatever they're called) and claim the insurance-money, The way Jerry's Black SAAB ends up face down against the front of a house (The way he puts on the alarm as the gang leaves is great! * bleep-bleep * )

How about George follows a driver who he thought gave him the finger with a yankee's player on the way to the telethon.

Mike, this is gonna get much longer. Nearly every episode has a car in the plot, some have more than one. This may end up longer than the food list. You should break it down by types of vehicle.

Work vehicles like the moving van that Denim Vest copied the phone number off of to give to Elaine or the trucks that 1. were blocked my George and Mike's parking dispute and 2. Ran down and pulverized George's Frogger machine.

Cabs. Dozens of them, my favorite cabbie was the "You should go to prison! You should eat prison food for the rest of your lives! Get out! Get out of my cab!" guy from "The Understudy."

Private cars, limos, the rental that Jerry drove into a swimming pool, I don't know, there's gotta be hundreds. The list will be unmanageable unless it's broken down in some way.

But I think the original poster want's to focus on the CAR being the central theme - a cabby that yells at George is not quite the same thing; the vans (I agree, there were a lot of vans too - "abortion/choice", "moving Keith", etc. but the van itself was not central to the plot idea.

I know the line is not a fine one but there it is. Comments?

At least a new list beats - "where can I download eps?"

True.

How about the car service guy that drove the gang to the US Open tennis tournament? That driver was integral.

This was certainly in The Wait Out - Elaine was driving badly when she got the call about the breakup.
