        It's an expensive hobby but he's a real car enthusiast and worked for mercedes as a teen...he collaborates with car companies like GM and has his own car show similar to Top Gear.

        Either way he's got a lot of cool cars nobody else in the world has and he designs custom cars as well, I thought these three were pretty sick. Especially the 3rd!

              ^^yah huh, that is cool, $35 would be the cost driving it from California to New York.

              It's also hard to imagine the streets of Florida being relatively quiet from the electric cars of the near future...

                I watched a film about Eric Bana's obssesion with cars quite recently its called My beast or the beast or something along those lines. Jay Leno and Jeremy Clarkson are both in it...pretty good film. Anyway thats how I found out about Leno's car collection. He works on each her by himself its like a hobby he has quite a few antiques and the thing I respect is that he hasn't sold any of his old cars...he just fixed them up and kept them.

                    Saw him a week ago driving some early 1900's car right by Fry's in Burbank.

                      yeah but even the car he lived in and slept in when he was like 18...not many people would keep an old banger but he did.

                        Here's Jay Leno's infamous "tank car" in the race shop at Gale Banks Engineering. The Korean-War-era M47 Patton tank engine had 810 hp when it came to Banks -- it left with 1600 hp (and according to Jay, the fuel economy is even better). See bankspower.com for the full story.

                          I have no knowledge of the car collection but I found this pretty facinating. y My Dads best friends basement which used to be a rec room with a bar. I was there a couple of Saturdays ago and wandered into the basement alone, took some pics and then grabbed my bf to have a look.
                          Awww...I didn't mean A holes, as in "A holes"...I meant it like, as in, my friends....
