I've always like Jay Leno, he seems like a cool dude. I read one of his books and got a kick from the story when he helped his dad order a new '66 Galaxie with a 428 then discovered his old dad got a speeding ticket for 100 with it. ------------------ '70 Mustang Mach 1 - '70 Mustang Convertible - '72 Mustang Sprint - '94 F-150 XL

I agree, Steve! I know I'd never be able to afford his neighborhood, but if I could,,,, I think it would be a hoot to have Jay for a neighbor! Ryan

I drive by his studio on the way home. I've seen him driving the GT - beautiful car. I've also seen him driving his tank engined roadster, Stanley steamer (water vapor cloud is freaky), helicopter engined bike, and a WWII Harley with sidecar. If the adage "He who dies with the most toys, wins!" is true, Jay's got it wired. A friend I play darts with has been to his garage several times - he says the collection is unbelievable. I met him once after doing some work for his show but we didn't get to talk cars - nice guy though.
