Trying to imagine living in that area of California and seeing these cars casually roll by every so often and just shrugging it off like " Ohhh, there's Jay again "
@andrewrobert50192 жыл бұрын
That exact thing happened to me several years ago. I was driving near the Burbank airport ( which is where his garage is ), and pulled up alongside someone driving an open cockpit steam-powered car. The driver was wearing a leather helmet and goggles and i was trying to get a picture and realized "oh that's Jay Leno!" lo!

@@PapaBear816 No, if you're around Austin you're ok. But come on, what is going on with California these days? I last visited in 2017 and it's changed, for the worse. Not the gas prices, the homeless/vagrants/beggars. Geez....it's disgusting. I hate to see a child out on the street. Where are the social services???? This is why the Conservatives make fun of Cali, they exist in this states, but not like this

The thing that's so cool about Jay Leno is not just that he's got the most amazing car collection, it's that he can find something to appreciate about virtually any car. Doesn't matter if it's a super-rare Duesenberg or a 1971 Toyota Celica or a Hemi-powered Dodge Coronet or some fantastic custom like this.

This is a Hot Rod travelling at 30 mph. It just doesn't seem right to go so slow in this thing but I'm really happy to see this 1800 ci creation actually running and driving so smoothly! What an incredible a feat of engineering. Jay brings out the kid in all of us!.

Used to visit Michaels Leeds garage in Santa Cruz. Believe I saw the original tank engine during one visit many years ago. Another visit Michael was working on converting an old fire engine into a hot rod. It's a fun garage to visit. Met Grubbs one visit too, he was working on another art project, laser cutting glass.
