Default Jay Lenos Garage

I'm sure I'm not shedding light on some super secret deal most of you have never seen before however, has anyone checked out the website for Lenos Garage? Talk about cool stuff!! I spent about 2 hours checking out the cars and videos and stuff on there last night. Anyone who's playing the game "He who dies with the most toys wins" needs to just hang it up. Jay wins, sorry. We're all losers.......

Did you see the part replicator (I know replicator isn’t a word) but I don’t know what else to call it. It’s straight out of star trek, the coolest thing I have seen. It scans a part then will make it out of plastic.

To me anyway, some high end car collectors come off as snobs or just in it for a status symbol.

But Jay Leno is genuine car buff. He is very knowledgable, and loves to explain how things work.

I hope I remember this correctly, but I saw story a while back, where an older gentleman had one of the Chrylser gas turbine cars, but didn't have the resourses to get it running. Jay helped him out.. and got it running for him.

I can't think one bad thing to say about guy.

"My Classic Car" has done a couple of episodes on Jay's Garage. Last week was "light weight sports car". He really has a lot of great stuff and what's nice is he drives everything. The guys in the GM Performance Parts Division all rave about what a great guy he is and how he pays his own way. It's kind of tuff not to like a guy like that.

I've never been a fan of late night talk shows, but I've always loved it when Jay Leno pops up on a car show. His love for cars is genuine. I think he's like most gearheads, he only works to feed his car habit. He just gets a bigger paycheck than most.
