Its amazing what money can buy. Rich people like this own exotic cars like they change the soap in the shower. As soon as the label wears off, its time for a new bar.

I don't know if Leno has a 944 but he's got at least one Carrera GT.

Do you guys remember the thread last month about the guy that owned a former NBA player's 944. I wonder if anyone here owns Letterman's car now.

Yeah, I didn't think he had the stones to be a Porsche guy either. lol

He's definitely a car guy. I know he also used to own a 911. A number of years ago, there was a woman who had moved into his house in CT while he was on vacation and got pinched at toll plaza driving his 911. I also have a friend who used to work in the same building as Letterman and they said he would drive to work in his Viper periodically.

it was a red 944T, it was widely reported when he got a ticket for triple digit; he joked about it on the show a lot at the time.

Leno's first Porsche was the recently acquired Carrera GT. From what I've read, he's not a marque kind of collector, but rather a unique and rare car kind of collector. Porsches, with a few exceptions are generally not that rare.
