intro: In the newest episode of Jerry Seinfeld's Web series, "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee," the comedian picked up his friend Sarah Jessica Parker to take a drive in her new Ford Country Squire. "I can't get over how gorgeous this is!" the actress, 49, gushed of the vintage vehicle. "I grew up in a car like this. I spent so much time in the back of that car ... some really great times in my formative years." Who knew? Here are a few other things about Parker that became clear in this video.

And then it was gone in about 24 hours and my mom was like, [screaming] 'Go easy on the ice cream!'"

"Because," he said, "everyone's gonna ask her, 'Oh my God, you waited on Jerry Seinfeld and Sarah Jessica Parker! How much did they tip you?' What do you want her to say?" Parker smiled. "Twenty bucks?" she asked. Upon seeing how much the comedian ended up leaving ("Vulgar!" she exclaimed), Parker got a bit more serious. "It's lovely," she said. "I'm a total s***."
