HOw many watched Jay (I have more toys than anyone) Leno give away after customizing a new 2006 Z06 Corvette on a new show called Payback? Nice car, but the show way kind of lame! Glenn

I didn't catch it, but was wondering if it was going to be good or not. I'am sure they'll be running it again...and again... and....again.

I watched it. While it was a bit entertaining, I would have liked to see more about the work done on the car. It did not hold my interest very well. I'll be impressed if it runs very long.

I just caught the last 5 or so minutes. I noticed in the credits there is a promotional ad for general motors..... bet they gave jay the car to give away for the advertising. I don't think he personally gives away any of his possessions. ( think he mentioned once in his collection they never surface for sale ) Anything for "real tv" I guess.

I flipped between it and Stephen Kings, "Nightmares and Dreamscapes" on TNT. The first episode was just like Twilight Zone and featured toy soldiers. WATCH FOR IT !!! It was great !

Anyway. Jays show was a little lame or I am just use to the fake drama on the other car build shows. They did an awesome job with the Vette though. Great spoiler and front end. I noticed a blue midyear in the background. Jay does have taste !
