<VV> The Fiat Seinfeld wrecked--No Corvair

[Wrsssatty at aol.com]

Since this matter was discussed here before, I thought I'd share that  
Sunday's New York Times had a small article in the Automobile section explaining  
that the Fiat Jerry Seinfeld wrecked was a 1967 500 and it did not roll, it  
tipped onto its side.  The article quoted the police report which read;  "Driver 
veh #1 states he was traveling NW on Skimhampton Rd.  Upon  approaching Rt. 27 
he attempted his brakes, which failed, forcing him to pull  his emergency 
brake and cut the wheel to avoid traffic on Rt. 27, which caused  his veh to turn 
on its side.  No injuries reported."  The article went  on to say the car 
"was hardly damaged at all."  Apparently Fiat fanatics  have been taking umbrage 
at misinformation in the reporting of the incident  which they feel maligns 
their favorite marque.  It's good to know that the  Corvair isn't the only 
automotive Rodney Dangerfield.
