My wife has taken the dog and said "I'm not coming back until you stop watching Jay Leno's Garage videos "...........................I'm going to miss that dog.
+Gavin Windsor hahaha
+Gavin Windsor Classic!
lmao
Savage
+Gavin Windsor Good thing you said that because Jay being a comedian...he might have stolen and he may still do that. LOL
I alerady said it but I love the calm feel of these videos. No mental music, lightflashes, ..just Jay and his cars.
+manygaga1 Agreed!
Dittos.
Words cannot express the joy that these update videos bring me. only 12 minutes? I could watch 12 hours. Big smile Jay!
I'd do ANYTHING to spend a day with Jay, just for car Q&A.
He's more informative than an encyclopedia. Love the bikes!
videos with Jay's cars are 1000x more entertaining than videos with some marketing guy saying, yeah!!! it comes with a carbon fiber diffuser.
+john smith so true. i like the old videos where he is talking alone about cars. Just much more interesting and entertaining
"if you're worried about my clothes or my hair maybe you outta go to one of those other fashion blog things." Ha ha nice burn!
The clothes have obviously been laundered many times, and it takes about 50 wear-wash cycles for them to get broken-in and comfortable. And comfort is crucial when you're working in the material world.
I´m addicted to this videos. I´m just binge watching them all.
There are some true gems in this episode:
"This is a classic Leno project. You take a car that's not worth anything, you put 20 to 30 grand into it, and it's worth 12,500 just like that!"
"I don't know why it needs to be so fast, but everything should be faster."
Thanks for the detailed update, Jay! Sharing your garage with us in this way is almost like being there...almost. That Mercedes 600 is so amazing. Do you have any BMW projects planned for the future? I'd love to see a 3.0 CSL, an M1, or an E28 M5 in your garage!
Jay, Thanks for being a real car guy...
+wayne creech +1
+wayne screech Amen. Been watching jays garage before he even uploaded on youtube
+wayne creech These episodes are the best. It tends to become tiring to watch the shows with interviews, as they are more like monologues, because he never seems to listen to people and always interrupts. He should really work on that.
+wayne creech love watching jays garage, jeeps me inspired and on track for my builds. My favorites are his older stuff. New cars dont do it for me...
+Henrik Carlsen I agree these are great, but I also like the interview videos as well. He's a talker, yeah, and it's his talking ability that made him the money to be able to afford this garage so be glad that he is a talker ...yes, he occasionally interrupts doing the conversations, but who doesn't when you're enthusiastic about a topic? Main thing is he gets along well with the the people that visit his garage and they're always interesting and entertaining.
Jay don't apologise for your modifications. They are always very tasteful and sensible you have a great attitude towards cars. Great video
How many of these cars would be lost forever without Jay restoring them for future generations to enjoy? Thanks Jay
Jay Leno... America's "Grandfather out in the garage".... what a throwback to a bygone era...
I like that Jay wears the same thing. I think it is nice when people are true to themselves. This was a great video; I didnt realize how much I would like to just sit and listen to Jay talk. lol
He gets payed to talk lol
Jay, you are the only guy in Hollywood that I would ever want to spend an entire day hanging out with. Love these restoration update videos.
+Tron I could think of a couple other people i wouldn't mind hanging out with. But, Jay is certainly a top five.
+Cubsfan122112 Vin Diesel?
These are my favorite videos that you do. Thanks for giving us a look around Jay!
This is the best show Jay has done. I watch every episode.
Jay Leno, i deeply respect you, you are so down to earth, calm ,cool ,full of love for cars, always laughing.God bless you, we need more people like you on earth,just to show that life is special and need to be enjoyed. I wish someday i will meet you and have the opportunity to see your garage.
Could you do a full garage tour! would be amazing too see all the cars and the entire shop. Amazing work :)
If you happen to get busy in life and skip out on a few posts from Jay, you come back and see one of these. Awesome! So much fun. Enjoy these all so much. Thanks, Jay!
Can't wait to see the Detroit Electric once it's done.
"Can you become a millionaire by restoring cars?"
Yes, if you are a billionaire.
+TAOFLEDERMAUS very funny Jeff.
It applies to most hobbies. lol
Back in the '60s, someone asked a sports-car racing team owner, "Can you make a small fortune racing sports-cars professionally?" He wisely replied, "Only if you start out with a large fortune." As you know, Jay does it because he loves cars and wants to preserve them. He considers himself a trustee of the collection. (Considering he knows, and is friends with, other "Keepers of the Flame," I kinda think he's probably made arrangements to keep it together after his passing---and, please the gods, let that be in the distant future!) Stay safe, everybody.
@@oldenweery7510 I wonder if it's set up to be a working museum when Jay goes to the collection in the sky, I only assume that his long time employees are well taken care and would still carry on the care and upkeep and growth of the collection. I wonder all added up what this collection is worth. I know he was buying a lot of these now super high priced cars like the Bugattis and duecenburgs when they were "cheap" Wonder what the insured Value is.
I think it was Richard Childers that said, if you want to make a millions dollars racing , you just have to invest two million dollars. That was back in the 1990s. Today if you want to make a million dollars racing, you need $25,000,000 just to bribe NASCAR,
That 1914 Electric is going to be fantastic when done. Great video!
These shows are the best thing on TH-cam.
Detroit electric with Blue Tooth! I laughed out loud. Thanks for being you, Jay.
I do like the Restoration Blog's very much, I enjoy watching the progress. A shop webcam would be cool! Thanks for the updates Jay and thanks for keeping the hobby going!
Jay we love your cloths, hair and your updates. Keep them coming I'll be watching.
Jay, you are the best example of car guy. I wish you 100 years (and more) of life to make us smiling again.
Jay - the 1914 Detroit Electric resto-mod. You've got to do a full episode on this... It will be hilarious you dragging-off at the lights in that! :)
Exactly!
+tcpnetworks And Burnout ;)))
+Michał Grygier ;D
Not sure that the aerodynamics will make for a comfortable ride at the speeds it will be capable of, but it would be a hoot to be cruising down the interstate at 70, and to be passed by that thing going 75.
Jay can you make an hour long restoration blog next time.....I could watch these all night long!!
Honestly that 1914 Detroit Electric is probably my favorite EV right now.
I know there are other people that watch these shows that are going through some tough health problems. We can actually forget about the big C chasing us through this part of our life. Next to going through your Garage these shows make my day. The interviews and these shows are just the best. I wish I had the money to send you just to show you how much I / we appreciate it Jay you are the best !!
Thank you Jay for living my dream. I would be doing this if I could but since I can't. I can still enjoy watching your video's.
I would also love to see a shop tour of all your machinery you use to restore cars, where everything is, and your favorite part of restoring a vehicle.
Favorite part: Jay addressing the people that say he always has messy hair and same clothes. Well said Jay, this channel is pretty obviously not about appearance of the host, unlike many other automotive shows out there.
Definitely the coolest show on the web or tv.Clothes and hair are fine. :)
I really don't know where Jay finds the time to make them but I really enjoy watching his videos. I often feel that he is talking to me directly and I find myself nodding in agreement with him on some point or another. When I've finished them all, I think I'll start again.
Just want to say thanks for taking the time to make these videos. They give a gear head like me a chance to see things I would never get to see otherwise. Thumbs up and thanks.
Love the update!
The wife and I are converting a 1995 International, Thomas body, 36 passenger School Bus (ex-Navy transport bus) into an RV. We are going to try and cover as much as we can with Dynamat! It big and its slow, even with a 7.3L PowerStroke, but we can Poop In it!!
Thanks for the tour and all the great tips (and videos)!!
This series is the 5th best thing that has ever happened to me.
I had restored a 74 Satellite that I found with pretty low miles from an older couple here in Iowa who only bought it to get home from California because their other cars engine went. So it sat for several years. They hoped it was going to a good home and it was to be my first solo restoration. I restored it with minor mods like custom paint, updated interior, minor performance upgrades and took it back to show them after it was done and they broke down crying. I was proud of that car as it was my first engine rebuild and restoration. I had helped a friend who bought my 67 Falcon with a 289 in it to turn it into a drag car because I knew my way around it. But it was his new baby. Our first restorations are always the ones closest to our hearts. When you can show the previous owners that they made the right decision in selling the car to you. It is even more special. So I totally get where you are coming from Jay when you want to take the previous owners out for a ride.
+Sophia Mefford
Keep up the good work. Cart (car + art) lovers thank you.
Love these Jay, keep them coming!!
I love these updates. Carry on motoring!
Restoration episodes are the best. Jay could have guided tours at his facility and people would happily fork over the money to walk through and see all that is in there.
The more of these I watch, the more I appreciate what you're actually up to - taking cars that have a story, or interest you for some reason, and bringing them back to beautiful functionality in one way or another. I know you'll have people who appreciate them to pass them on to. I know now that's what you're up to.
Respect, and thanks.
thanks Jay for sharing with your fans,
I can't wait to see the Detroit Electric out on the road!
Wanna know how to make a small fortune restoring cars?
Start with a large fortune.
lmao :P
+Vegaspsycho get a small loan from dad
ChrisHallett83 Yup, my brain wants to say that it's something Jay Leno once said, but I'm not 100% sure.
+Vegaspsycho Jay says he is in the more money then brains club. The thing I really admire about Jay is unlike most super rich people. He puts his money into something we can all enjoy. For generations to come. And truly one of the only blogs I know of that I am Guaranteed to learn something new every episode! just great entertainment second to none........
Just like Jay said, "Take a worthless car, spend $25K restoring it, and it will be worth a good $12K".
THAT is why we aren't watching "Gene Simmons garage".
Jay really knows how to treat his lady, keeping her satisfied. With a restored Nash. A real limo, right there. 👍🏼
Living the Dream Jay. I hope there's someone to carry your work.
If you keep doing these restoration blog update ,
Ill keep watching them.
More please.
What I like about Jay is, he says "We" instead of "I" did. Thanks for the up-dates. That's one of the most interesting things to see. I'm a car guy who lost my car in an accident in September 7, 2013. A 1990 Chrysler Lebaron convertible that just turned 30,000 miles the day of the accident. I miss having her every day.
Jay, I have to admit that I never watched your late night show; I just don't watch TV, unless it has to do with cars of course. But I really enjoy JLG and look forward to it each week. The resto blogs are great and I can almost smell your garage as you walk around it. Thanks for all you do and thank you for taking care of and preserving these rolling works of art for all of us to enjoy!
I love his Nash comment..."All that work and it will be worth $12,500". You never know Jay might set a new trend, we might see an upswing in Nash prices
Lol. Tell em Jay! Head to the ole fashion blog. This is a garage people! Love your work & love the cars. Love your attention to detail. Just gotta 68 Chevelle to restore... Should've got 1 with less rust... But I love the ole girl. Keep up the good work!
I watch your show Jay like religion to the car gods seeing cars completely go through the steps and your put them thru the paces on your show. Honestly you have the greatest one of a kind show on the internet and TV. I've learned more about cars even as I served as a mechanic in the military there never a problem with grease and oil. Thanks again Jay for making cars even cooler.
I just want to say thank you mr. Leno. I know it's your passion but you are performing a great service for the Automotive History love this country and the world for that matter.
Don't change Jay! Okay, you may get a few more silver hairs and the jeans may fade a little more, but keep them as they are. Really enjoy these garage updates to the restomods blog. All the best, cheers.
These are my favorite videos.
"Everything shoould be faster"
And that´s, ladys and gentleman, is the spirit. Wise words Jay !!!
I wish the restoration blogs happened more frequently and with more detail.
Love these updates !! that electric car is going to be awesome, a real combination of old and new. You're sounding a lot better Jay.
you are living the dream my friend!
Thank you for the updates, Jay!! I always really enjoy following your restoration update videos; they are some of your best.
I sure enjoyed talking with you at the past Pebble Beach Concours events and also touring your garage a few years ago with Bob. It is an experience that I treasure and will never forget.
-Austen
"take a car thats not worth anything, put 20-30 grand into it, and its worth 12.5 just like THAT"
+BlueCollarDreams yeah..that was the most quotable today!...
i love the electric car. I never thought I would be interested in them but now i find them so cool.
I can't wait to see that Volvo completed. I fell in love with the rendering that you put in one of the previous restoration blogs. That is going to be a cool car.

Thanks.
Just the best few minutes on youtube.
Such an education mixed with history, engineering, humor, fabrication, design, entrepreneurs, good will/ generosity and...
that horrible cali weather

Jay is father Christmas for older men, your one of a kind Mr Leno.
"Nothing wrong with this car that 640bhp won't cure". Should be on a t-shirt.
Love the videos Jay!! keep up the good work as an Automobile care taker.
I never get tired watching these video's
Hi Jay, I really appreciate your passion for anything automotive, especially the vintage American cars. They're like preserving American history, only better. You can have fun with these! I've got a few of them myself (along with a supportive wife). Life is good!
"20-30k in and the car is worth solid 12.5"
Love the updates. Beautiful work going into those cars and bikes. Can't wait to see the electric car finished.
I love how much interest George takes in Jay's videos.
I cannot wait for that 1914 Detroit Electric to be completed. Please please please do a nice long episode on that one!
Ooh, that Volvo Amazon is gonna rock!
Your awesome Jay, love the passion you have for cars. The electric car is a riot, air conditioning, Bluetooth, etc. Keep up the good work you are a blessed man.
C'mon Jay, when are you going to suck it up and admit that electric power is the most sustainable answer for future automotive power? I LOVE your Detroit Electric! I live in Malibu and commute to Bev Hills in a Tesla. It works fantastically well! Now, as for my weekend cars and bikes, well let's just say I hope I don't need a smog check anytime soon:) I also want to take this opportunity to express my sincere gratitude to you for all of your hard work and dedication over the years. My father passed a few years ago and some of the fondest memories I have of him are watching your Tonight Show and early Garage videos on TH-cam with him. Every time I watch one of your videos it feels like he is right there enjoying the show with me. Thanks Jay! God Bless!
So cool that you restore anything that come your way. Raised in a car shop/garage myself I feel like your garage is a dream. May you live forever, Jay.
Jay - Another great video. Looking at you describing your project cars is most interesting.
I love your ending to this video. If your hair/clothes were different than it would not be Jay Leno's Garage.
so true
Thank you Jay. I do enjoy these videos. Thank you for keeping these cars and bikes alive. They're a part of our national heritage and deserve to be restored, preserved, and driven. Thank you for doing it all.
Jay, love you for everything you do.
Don't ever stop doing what you do.
I have so much respect for the guys working for you too.
They are artisans not mechanics.
Love seeing jay's classic car and motorcycle collection... so much love goes into these
Thanks for this Jay. I truly enjoyed it. It's so nice to see the old stuff being brought back to life even better than it started out. Love what you are doing. Tip my lid to you sir. Cheers from snowy Newfoundland, Canada
Jay Leno, I continue to watch your videos year after year because I think you are real. So many fakes out there but it's obvious you are a real car guy. You not only collect cars but you work on them and your knowledge of the automobile is something to be admired. My wardrobe is very much like yours. Denim is real. It's good for another 100 years.
I've been a long time fan of your television shows and videos. I've never seen a more eclectic and interesting car collection anywhere. I love seeing them in progress and your shop is huge and fascinating. You're living the dream Jay! Thank you for showing us!
I always enjoy these build update videos thanks. That electric car is going to be a hoot.
But will it do a burnout ? >8^)
Great hanging out with you Jay.
Exciting update as usual. I love the fact that you are going to restore the Nash and then take the previous owner for a ride. So many famous show business people have nothing but drama. Unlike them you are a stand-up guy and a good example. Keep up the good work!
THANKS JAY. I AM GLAD THERE ARE GUYS LIKE YOU TO KEEP THESE OLDIES IN SHAPE.
Jay. You have actually reached the status of God of cars. LOVE your videos
Best line: "My wife never watches my videos anyway..." lol
+Aussie2u And the runner up: "This is a classic Leno project: you take a car that's not worth anything, you put $20-30,000 into it, and it's worth $12,500 just like that!"
There can't be a greater honour, than people passing their beloved cars on to you, for safe keeping. Just amazing.
These videos are a nice break from the overproduced car reviews I watch. It's like talking to a good friend about his car informally in his garage on the weekend.
That Cunningham car looks awesome.
lol at the ending!
Jay, you are living the dream ..even Elvis would be in awe of your car collection.
I love the modern improvements you do to old cars to make them better but still keeping the spirit of the original vehicle. Just awesome.
