almost 400 HP? suede? Zit on the dash? Who is the "expert"? And Jay, doesn't he ever track his cars? He's driving around with one hand on the wheel and one on the stick at all times, like some kind of muscle car.
Oh well, my respect for his "car guy" status just went down a notch.

He is the epitome of someone who does something else to pay for what he loves doing, which is being around cars. Its great.
He is a true enthusiast, with no snobbishness or marque-i-phile crap.

Gotta admire the guy. One of the few media celebrities actually worth celebrating.
IIRC, he has a distaste for one particular marque -- Ferrari!

From an old ferrarichat.com post....few years ago (im not the autheor btw):
Well I just got back from my lunch break. I was at a local news stand and who do I see. None other than "The Tonight Show" host Jay Leno. He was right in the same section I was, the automotive magazines. Well we all know that Jay doesn't have any Ferrari's. I have alway been curious as to why. After introducing myself to him I say "I'm a fellow car buff. I was just wondering why you don't own any Ferrari's?". Jay replies, "Cause they are a pain in the a$$." To which I agreed, and told him that he wasn't the only one that got treated this way. Jay then said, "Don't get me wrong I like Ferrari's and think they are a great car. But every time I go into a dealership they automaticly slap more money on the price. That's just bullsh!t." Again I agreed. "The other thing," He continued, "is that if I walk into a Porsche dealer these guys go out of their way to help me. They give me little books, pamphlets, mail me info, show me the cars. But if I walk into a Ferrari dealership looking for a Daytona, I don't get the same treatment. I would like to get one but there is too much bullsh!t involved."

I'm curious how they shoot the in-car clips. Does the camera man actually sit/lie back there? I doubt there is enough room, esp. with a camera.
Cool clip tho. Thanks for sharing!
