If you remember the car, though, it was certainly no luxury sedan. A big green (or brown) monster.
KRAMER: Why don’t YOU go into the store and I’LL wait in the car?
GEORGE: Because, I’ve got the coat. I can sit in the car and not get cold.
KRAMER: So what I’m going to leave the car running and the heater’ll be on.
GEORGE: Does the heater even work in this car?
KRAMER: No.
The Wikipedia article on Kramer’s employment is rather impressive.
How often Kramer resorted to using the n-word in awkward situations? E.g. during the Aids-walk beatdown, karate class kicking to the curb, etc.

Oh, yeah, it was crap. I was thinking of insurance in NYC, even on a junker.
And besides, he had the money to buy wood-grain wallpaper to decorate his apartment like a ski lodge, and refit it to look like the Merv Griffin set. 
Yeah, and the meat slicer wasn’t cheap either!
Don’t forget he also moolah rolling in from selling the movie rights to the coffee table book. I believe that was the episode in which he retired and moved to Florida.

The first time I saw Wendy Malick was yeears ago as an abused wife on L.A. Law. My memory is that she was so good I had a hard time seeing her in comedic roles!

She also played an evil bureaucrat in a couple episodes of The X-Files.
Now she does voiceover for Marshall’s commercials.

And I think she’s on the wedding sit-com with Marla Sokoloff, if it’s still on.

And isn’t that Lance Henrikson as TV - Kramer?

Absolutely not!

I think they do remain a mystery, though, and he is considered independently wealthy. A one-bedroom on the Upper West Side during the 90s? And I think he has a car since he did the **stop-and-grab ** with Mrs. Costanza and I think he drove to Susan’s cabin upstate.
He does get his food and cable free, though.

:smack: Of course. :o
Regis & Kathy Lee played themselves as well.
So did Bryant Gumbel in the “puffy shirt” episode, mocking Jerry.
Didn’t Cramer go crazy and start eating people’s brains once?
Did you see this episode? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dXBC6R_rxk
Jerry: Brains? Newman, you wouldn’t eat brains if it was deep-fried in chocolate sauce!
Newman: I love brains. They’re…good for you.
Jerry: Then maybe you’d like to try a piece?
Newman: Gladly. [chews brains, then spits it out] VILE OFFAL!
I know this is a zombie, but here’s something I’ve always noticed…
The cashier (her real name and the character’s name is Ruthie Cohen) appeared in the background of dozens of episodes (IMDB says 100) and she only had a speaking part once.
Well, to keep this zombie undead: When WGN began airing reruns of ALF, it was with great surprise that I noticed Raquel Ochmonek was played by Liz Sheridan, who also played Jerry’s mom on Seinfeld. I had seen ALF in its prime, of course, but later, when I began watching Seinfeld, it had been so long since I has seen an episode of ALF, I never noticed that Helen and Raquel were played by the same person.
That episode had both David Dinkins and Rudy Giuliani. They filmed 2 endings, and aired the version based upon who won the mayoral election.

Kramer’s car was a green or brown GM vehicle, roughly between 1970 and 1974, but there was more than one. I’m not sure how many, but I know that one was a Chevrolet (Caprice or Impala), and one that they showed a lot of exterior shots was a Pontiac. If you weren’t paying close attention, it would appear that they were all the same car.
I intended to start watching again just to see if I could ID the car(s) but never got around to it.
Never saw Jerry ride it, but he had a nice green Klein bike hanging on the wall
