    wikipedia says,

    On March 29, 2008, Seinfeld was driving in East Hampton, NY when the brakes on his 1967 Fiat 500[18] failed. After trying to stop the car using the emergency brake, which also failed, he swerved to keep the car from entering an intersection with a highway and ended up rolling the car onto its side, stopping yards from the highway. The wreck was attributed to mechanical failure; no summons was issued. Seinfeld did not require medical attention and returned to his East Hampton home.[19]

    I don't get why someone buys 10 Boxsters. They never gonna be rare or increase value, but that's just me.

    I'm not his biggest fan but i'm glad that he is ok. He is also a hero from stopping his car before it reached the interstate.
    If you want to do something wrong, do it right

    I don't get why someone buys 10 1965 Mustangs. They're never going to be rare or increase in value. -Some idiot back in 1967.

    so he pulled the E-brake and rolled the car while going at a "slow speed"? doesnt make sense quite, can someone elaborate?

    Brakes failed, so he turns wheel sharply and pulls the e brake, guess the car got a little too much traction and flipped over.

    Maybe it was an automatic
    Once fanboyism infects you it impares all your judgement.
    It's like being drunk, you lack common sense and everyone laughs at you.

    That can only slow you down so much. And 500 mightn't have that much actual engine braking.

    He swerved to avoid hitting an intersection and an eventual pileup . Sounds logical to me.
    I'm dropping out to create a company that starts with motorcycles, then cars, and forty years later signs a legendary Brazilian driver who has a public and expensive feud with his French teammate.
