I couldn’t agree more with you brother and I’ve always respected and loved about Jay is he’s a true Car Guy, and not like so many so called car guy’s. Don’t get me wrong he’s got professional Mechanics that work for him to take care of his cars, but he’s still a car guy that’ll get in there and twist wrenches with them. Truthfully with the amount of cars, and the WIDE Variety of cars he’s got he couldn’t do it alone. He’d literally have to be a Master Tech, and a Boilermaker because his cars literally go from internal combustion engines to steam boiler powered cars

Jay Leno is a personal hero of mine and I'm fortunate to have had the chance to meet him at a trade show. Great person, and of course an impeccable car collection. He's not a collector, he's a curator. We are fortunate he has the resources to maintain these unique pieces of automotive history, and that he is willing to share them with us.

I got to ride in the Turbine car. My dad worked for Chrysler back then and sometimes he would bring a vehicle home from work. Everything from an Imperial to a semi-tractor. He didn't do it too often but he did bring home some really nice cars. One day he brought home the Turbine car. The future was in our driveway and I fell in love with it. I was 10 years old at the time and I was in love. It's always been one of my favorite cars. I just wish I was old enough to have been able to drive it. It caused quite the stir in our neighborhood.

When I was stationed at NAS Point Mugu I used to ride sport bikes with some friends. One destination was The Rock Store. I met Jay Leno there, it was during his "Doritos Days" as a spokesperson. He stopped by, spoke with us and was super cool. After that I would see him up at the Rick Store every now and then on some classic bike or car. He was always the same guy, super nice and friendly. Great video!

@redram5150 3 года назад

Jay’s Y2K turbine bike amazed me when I was a kid. This was the mid 90s, we didn’t have the Internet. I swiped an issue of Popular Mechanics from my dentist’s office and hid it under my mattress like it was an issue of Playboy. Every so often I’d get the magazine out and crawl inside my mind what it had to be like riding a motorcycle with a Bell helicopter engine powering it. In fact, my mother found it one day and without looking at it, scolded me for hiding porn in her house.

They documented it and it is on RU-vid now. Until you see this car you won't believe how large it is....and that engine....wow. Definitely not a small grocery getter run about. Sounds cool also. Jay has a great collection and glad he was able to add this to his collection. There are lots of awesome cars in the Stahl collection and always adding more. Mostly focused on older cars such as Duesenberg, Auburn, and many very rare one-of-one cars. If you ever get to Michigan it is a must visit for any car afficiando. I go by 5 or 6 times every year to see what they have and to participate in their Thursday Cars and Coffee events.

The turbines at engineering were not the show cars that you always see, but we’re C body’s with turbines installed in them. It was a exciting time to work there with all the different projects going on. Very interesting video, I’d like to read that book if it’s still in print.

Even though he's a very successful multi millionaire, just the way he dresses tells you he is such an unpretentious, genuine guy, and the way he's so passionate about his collection of cars, bikes plus all manner of other machines means every one of his videos is a joy to watch. To this day I always look forward to his latest offering each Monday. I can't think of many ways I'd rather spend a day than having a one on one guided tour with Jay around his amazing collection and just talking about cars, bikes and machines in general. Although I'm not as knowledgeable as Jay, I'm still perfectly capable of boring the living daylights out of people on the subject.
