Like the title says. Neat to see his cars being driven with details about each car.

Pretty cool.

He had called the owner of the McLaren I rode in because they had the same model. Jay is a smart collector.

Jay Leno is the car guy's car guy...the master's master, if you will. There are people with far more money than even he has, that don't appreciate automobiles like he does. He's the Chip Foose of collecting.

I'm not a Tonight Show person, or even a Leno stand-up fan. But his enthusiasm for his expensive hobby is contagious.

I've seen this site before and I've known about his car enthusiasm for a long time.
With that said I think as a comic and show host he's alright, but ultimately he uses his career to propel his hobby in such a way that his enthusiasm really shows.

The man is an undying automobile enthusiast with a very nice sense of taste and respect for all things automotive. Unlike some celebrities which seem to be happy driving a vehicle made completely of chrome, spinning accessories, and LCD screens Leno shows his collection is much more than straight bling and that he actually KNOWS something about cars as well.
If you close your eyes and listen he sounds like any enthusiast, albeit with some more experience, knowledge, and a much fatter wallet.

+1 And he isn't a prick about it either. His last big deal with NBC, he negotiated himself, no manager, no agent, etc. One could call this stupid but he said something to the effect of "pay me what is fair" and didn't get into arguing or a contract dispute. He knows he is paid well and is pretty humble about it which differs from many.

And yeah, he loves those machines, they aren't bragging rights to him, he is into the deal, big time!

Looks like he also owns a 1964 Honda S600. I saw it from a posting from another website.
