I was told by the Porsche sellsman in Pasadena when I bought my Porsche that he owns/owned every production model ever made.
And that he has a standing buy order with an undisclosed Porsche dealership to automaticly every year buy several un-named models!
Course the sellsman new I liked the "Seinfeld" show and he may have been feeding me a line? 
If you look close during shows, you will see things around the his apartment that are Porsche related.

Yup Jerry does own a 959. One of only 200 made, but he cannot drive it as it is not street legal in the US...
What was the real name of the girl he called Mulva, and what were the two nicknames that Jerry mentions in that episode?

Hi,
Interesting bit of Urban Legend, but do you have a credible source for this..??
Gates did indeed buy a 959 back in 1989. When unable to import it, he stored it for 2 years and then bought a Chateau in France just outside Paris and had the Car moved there which he drove everytime he visited. Paul Allen also bought a 959, also stored it.
In 1998, Both Cars were imported to this Country by Porsche Tuner, Driver and Enthusiast - Bruce Canepa. The Cars were refitted with Motec OBD compliant ECU, as opposed to Bosch Motronic (incapable of reading 0² sensors), Catalytic Convertors and Airpump from 993TT, new Alternators, Oil Pumps and replacement of sequential Turbos with a pair of Ball bearing, Garrett Turbos in a Parallel set-up. Hp is up to 600 over the original 450, making them EPA compliant and were permitted under the DOT Show and Display Exemption.
This allows the Cars to be driven on the Street or the Track (ostensibly to/from Shows and Displays) up to 2,500 mi./yr.
Canepa has refitted 39 959's to date and received DOT S&D permits for each of them... Source: Sports Car International, Vol 150, Pg. 6, Sept. 2003 . Also see: http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/quickies/1233872.cms . Hope this helps...
Happy Motoring!... Jim'99

WTH, I'm a geek too 15 yrs in computer programming ( You talking to meee?? You talking to meeeeee???) 
The only diff between me and the MS guys, I like Porsches, they like the next HP calculator!!! (and of course, millions in stock options!)
bmussatti
Sadly, I rode the Space Needle elavator down with a .12 at 2:00 am, (not bragging, just the way the circumstances played out  I could not say three cohesive words to save my life!  , the MS guys looked like a fish in water)
Thank god I was with these MS geeks, they dropped me off at my hotel
Next Question:
What was the name of the landlord that called Jerry a " Fancy Guy"?
Regards
Jimmy
