Seinfeld and Gaffigan go Glamping in a Westfalia

Last week we posted about the teaser for season 8 of Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee, and now the first episode is up. Jerry Seinfeld’s guest is a 1977 Volkswagen Westfalia. Oh, and some guy called Jim Gaffigan.

As is the norm, Seinfeld takes Gaffigan on a tour of New York City as the two talk about comedy, life, and that special feeling of vulnerability that you get when your knees are your crumple zone.

As we know, Seinfeld is a fan of VWs, and an especial fan of the Microbus. He owns one of his own, with which he helped his son sell lemonade.

This lime green model doesn’t belong to Seinfeld, but it looks to be a pretty solid example of the breed, if you’re into pea-green plaid, as, apparently, people in the ‘70s were.

Seinfeld says he picked the Westfalia for Gaffigan because it’s all about efficiency. Any time you can fit a kitchen, closets, and two bedrooms into something this small, you know there’s been a clever use of the available resources. This, he says, is like Gaffigan’s comedy, because of his economy of words. And also because he’s widely known to be a family man, and what says family like a Westfalia?

2018 Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster Review

“Supercars just don’t excite me anymore.” These words, spoken to me over a month ago by another journalist, friend, and (so-called) enthusiast were echoing in my head for far too long, but they’ve finally been drowned out. Drowned out by the wail of a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 engine mounted in the middle of the new Lamborghini Aventador S Roadster. My friend’s point is that back in the good old days, there was a crop of supercars that captured the imagination with amazing style, sounds, performance, and more. Today, it seems like everything is capable of supercar performance, with large luxury sedans outdoing some of the best and most dedicated teams of car nuts, while former pillars of automotive excellence are suddenly pumping out family-friendly SUVs. Beyond that, another league of supercars, dubbed hypercars have cropped up with hybrid gas-electric powertrains that make magical things happen quickly, but at the cost of the acoustic drama, visual flair, and engag...

Project SportWagen: Going Stage 2 with APR

When we last left you, the humble little SportWagen was fresh from the development process with our friends at AWE Tuning, sporting a new downpipe, exhaust and intake, allowing things to breathe a bit easier. The car sounded great, but there was no getting around the fact that our wagon was still quite, well, slow. While we realize that nothing we do to the Golf SportWagen at this point will make it a race car, we still felt compelled to do something . To put it bluntly, we had a fever, and the only cure was more power. Flash forward a few hours, and we found ourselves at Waterfest, staring down APR’s palatial spread and the numerous tuned vehicles surrounding it. Earlier in the year, APR had hinted to us that their 1.8 TSI files would be quite impressive, and based on what they were able to do with the 2.0 TSI found in the new GTI and our time in their Golf R, we knew it’d be worth the wait. So with this in mind, we lined our G...
