Anyone know if Jay has any Lambo's in his huge collection? I've always liked him because he owns extremely rare cars and he drives them to work because he bought them to drive. Here's an article he wrote on Porsche's ceramic clutch in the CGT, good reading:

Serious? I'd figure he'd at least have some classic fcar.

Nope, he got totally burned by a dealer in the 80s/90s and swore off them forever.

Yeah, I've heard Jay is one of the most personable celebrities, probably doesn't forget what got him there, working 330 nights/year doing stand-up waiting for the big break.

Jay Leno is one of the few people I'd actually like to sit and have a drink with. His car stories are probably some of the best in the world.

I don't watch his show very often but I remember one time he was talking about having broken down on the way in, of course when Jay Leno breaks down it was like some crazy 1930's car so everyone's backing the interstate up looking at the whole mess. :lol2:

I loved when he was test driving the Carrera GT and spun it at around 160mph.....when they interviewed him he said "Well, to be fair I'm a comedian, not a racing driver!".

When I livrf in LA I always saw him on the 101. He was always driving some crazy car. Whenever he was in a convertible its tough to miss that chin!

The chin provides more downforce!

Thus creating better aerodynamics for not only the car, but his own pleasure of the wind. :lol2:
