Thank you for having me Jay! as always a pleasure and this time I got to dress the part! #twinning 😉
I’m I seriously the only person to like this comment? David bro, I just found your TH-cam about 3 weeks ago. What a fantastic piece of history you preserve! I can’t be the only person to have noticed your comment. Crazy!
change your rubber!
@@over-educated-sp he has some of the best driving road cars ever made sitting in a show room on old tyres.
Such damning evidence these cars never get used properly.
All these collectors drive the price of these cars beyond those who will actually use them. Just stick to watch or stamp collecting.
Every shot of David and Jay sitting together with matching denim shirts on made me laugh. Well played, Mr. Lee! 😂
Yep!😜
He must have worn a t-shirt with branding or a slogan that they didn't want filmed... so jay gave him one of his shirts... you can see it's way too big on him, they tied it up ay the back to make it appear to fit better... haha
Ik you should wipe his shoes cus he’s soooooo nice huh so nice of him to show us his lil car huh
@@yotagang3705 dude. nothing sucks here, your powers of snark are just wasted.
@@kfrerix9777 all hail the nice azn
Jay is no joke. Calling out old tires on two high end Ferrari cars where most people would just chalk it up to the stiff suspension.
This don’t make sense lol
@@KevAlberta yours _doesn’t_ either 😂
@@sethie_shots ok
Great isn’t it.
He absolutely knows his stuff when it comes to the automotive world.
I love that David walked out in a denim shirt...so funny!!
I love when Jay pokes fun at David and he’s a good sport about it that’s true friendship
Just turned it on, looks like it's David Lee who's poking fun at Jay!
David didn't go sockless in this vid...haha
Once David came out in the denim jacket, it was game on.
David is just as nice a guy as Jay, very approachable as well.
Definitely went back and forth. Great video
Love these two together. David is a perfect owner: he loves his cars, he drives his cars and he shares them with others.
He’s not sharing them. He’s showing off.
@@mattmorris2867 shut up jealous white boy
While knowing so little about them at the same time.
F50 Soft top takes literally 2 minutes for a single person to put on and maybe 30 seconds to take off.
@@hushwo not racist at all. Calm down dear.
But he needs mechanics to turn wrenches for him.
Always glad to see David Lee come by and share his Ferraris. He seems like a down to earth guy like Jay. So refreshing to see guys like this that love cars, have the means to own some incredible cars but don't have the egos of people who just buy expensive cars as a status symbol. The F50 is just an amazing machine and I think is appreciated much more now that when it first came out.
The value would suggest so
Well said, very well said
Well compared to its predecessor its trash.
i think david lee is my favorite visitor at the show like u said a very nice guys with no sox :D
I've posted this on Tyrrell's Classic Workshop as well; just a little piece of trivia. Like the F40; the engine cover of the F50 was made out of Lexan. The only company in Italy that pioneered the thermoforming of polycarbonates and able to cast the engine cover happens to be in my home town in northern Italy. It's called Liras and is still in business. I strongly believe they still have the original mouldings somewhere at the factory.
Love these small details! Greetings to you in Italia!!😊
I saw my first F50 in person back in ~95-96 when I was working as a menial laborer at UPS (while in college) and had a good friend who worked his day job taking care of the car garage of the largest car dealer in our area. He somehow snuck us in to see the car collection (worth 10 mil back then). His job was to maintain of all those cars and we pretty much just gawked at that F50. It was shocking, carbon fiber just didn't exist and we kept playing with the gas cap because it weighed about as much as a paper clip. What an absolute dream job and man... that car back then was like looking at a new Saturn 5 rocket.
The F40 had carbon Fiber
308328928 I don’t think he was implying that carbon fiber literally didn’t exist yet lol. It just wasn’t common at the time
thanks man i was there with ur story! I felt it! The car still looks like an new Saturn 5 rocket. :D
I had a similar experience with Jaguar XJ220 about 20 years ago. It was a car I only saw playing my super-pixelated video games. To see it flesh was an out of this world experience. It was casually parked at a gas station in a very lower middle class neighborhood near my house. I was crying and smiling all at once.
Same years for me at Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills at a dealership. Always was my favorite looking Ferrari then. Back when magazines were the big thing. He has 2. I should sell watches.
Jay and David having a conversation is so wholesome and genuine like real best of friends.
Should see them at willow. David brings his Ferraris up and let’s jay drive them on the track
I genuinely love this guy. He just comes off as one of the most down to earth humble guys. You normally think "ferrari guy" and think oh hes gonna be a jerk but, I feel like he's just be one of the nicest guys you could know.
unlike some collectors I've seen that are clearly compensating for something (with mostly modern soulless Bugatti and Lambos they never drive)
Yr obviously very naive
people are always acting nice when the camera is on them
Are Ferrari guys jerks? What makes you even think that
What does he do for a living
The sound. The look. Incredible. Ferrari and their makers have made some of the best machines in the history of this planet. Works of art
I totally agree. But for whatever reason I’m not into their physical appearance. Idk. Obviously they look badass. But I just compare to other super cars and and I can’t help but greatly prefer other brands as far as physical body shapes anyway
Love watching when David comes for a visit... always great interaction between the two.
They both have absolutely the most incredible cars and I'm sure there is a lot of respect between them.
They both have absolutely the most incredible cars and I'm sure there is a lot of respect between them.
David Lee is one of my most favorite guest. His Ferrari collection is legendary and his knowledge is just fun to listen to.
Agreed
You can tell immediately with his wealth of knowledge that he's not your typical clout chasing TH-camr, and that he has an actual passion for the history and uniqueness of the car
His knowledge would be a lot more fun to listen to if it was correct.
David seems like an incredibly humble man, wanting to share the joys of his toys . Love that
Sim! Tenho a mesma impressão.
great guy
Nothing humble about owning 100 plus million worth of cars. Maybe he’s “cool” or “interesting” but “humble”? Not sure that’s the right word
David Lee is great! Love that he drives the cars and appreciates them wanting to share them with the world. Great!
It's so nice of David and Jay to share these very expensive cars with us.
David should be on the Ferrari payroll as the official ambassador.
No it's not.
@@Diamondusa7 I agree, I'm jealous asf.
It really is fortunate because Jay stubbornly refuses to get involved with the whole 'Ferrari owners experience' LOL
@@4hirehiro Refused to own one due to dealership cost vs test driving a friends Ferrari in the end he won lol.
I love David Lee, he is always so fun, happy and genuine and likes to show the cars to people who could never afford them rather than horde them like other collectors (which is totally fine and valid, they are their cars to do what they want with).
@@Broncos14 'Could speak', not 'can talk' and 'grammatical' rather than grammar (with two 'a's). In any case, people speak in a vernacular that circumvents the rigidity of formal writing. Bruh.
@@Broncos14 how many languages are you able to hold a conversation in? And I mean a little more than "Qué hora es?".
Unfortunately he knows almost nothing about his cars. There are a few guys that have come on that are basically encyclopedias which is always great, and a few guys who are just collectors/investors and really don't know much. David Lee is the latter. He does seem like a really nice guy though.
@@Broncos14 you should delete your comment.
@@Broncos14 dude shut up with your silly American english.
Mr. Leno's mind is sharp as a tack with the jokes he makes so quickly. I really enjoyed this video for both the history lesson and Leno's comic wit!!! Thank you!
Facts jay is a national treasure
Really appreciate the generosity of sharing these moments with the public. Keeping the dream alive for the young and older car fans. Thank you.
I love the F40 but, to me, the F50 was (and still is) much sexier and much more appealing. Thank you both for sharing this moment with us, outstanding!
Enzo for me personally
Especially so in Fly Yellow!
I agree. I know that the F40 is venerable, but I didn’t like that black trim going around it. Too Fiero like!😂
I agree, although there is something about the raw sense of purpose of the F40 that makes me prefer that one over any of the other supercars of the era - save maybe the F1.
This is sleeker and "prettier" maybe but the f40 looks muscular and old school which appeals to me more. Similarly I prefer the Porsche 993 over the 996 or the Diablo over the Murcielago
David seems really cool and down to earth, despite his obvious wealth. The kind of guy you could approach and talk about cars with, and he’d be more than willing to share his knowledge and experience with you.
He is. I've interacted with him many times. Super friendly and hosts a lot of car event at his place of business that are open to the public
A lot of rich people are not snobby ...
I’m so glad you pointed that out.
sports cars always bring people together, it bridges the divide!
Just don't mention the wasting of root vegetables to him, it will send him wild. Funny but definitely not worth losing him as a friend or killing the relationship.
Always excellent to see David Lee. He is my favorite guest. Cool cars and a great personality.
David is such a nice guy. He collects all these beautiful Ferrari’s he’s able to purchase, then shares them for everybody to be able to see and enjoy on the road. You can tell he truly loves sharing his car collection with others to experience.
The F50 in yellow color is my favorite. Red is for the F40. Both iconic and legendary vehicles. Love to see David Lee always so enthusiastic.
I actually like the Silver or Black F50
Yellow looks good on all Ferraris
@@yobro6053 except the Enzo for some reason
Thanks Jay, for taking our minds off serious things.
Driving cool cars isn't a matter of life and death... It's much more important than that. 😂
The F50 grew on me so much. Now I even prefer it over the F40, which is still one of my favorites.
I could not agree more!
Hands down my favorite Ferrari. Gorgeous car.And David Lee sounds like a really cool guy. I am jealous. You can hear that V-12 start to sing at higher rpms
I love when Jay has Dave on his channel, these two together are just amazing to listen to. They compliment each other so well. They are probably my favorite on TH-cam and I hope you agree with me. Mature, relaxing and down right informative
Creep.
David never seems like a car snob. He always comes off as a real car guy who just happens to have really cool cars.
Love the videos with David! He keeps Jay from having to own a Ferrari, and we get to see Jay drive them. Win/win.
Me Lee is so funny n fun always has something with J going on.
Sox,shirts n shoes!!!
Another Gr8 video Ty guys!!
24:20 Jay: "How old are these tires?"
That is exactly what killed Paul Walker (except Paul wasn't driving). Those tires were over nine years old and had started to shrink and harden with age. Disappointed by Jay's slow ride? That's because Jay has felt these suspiciously shiny tires feeling crashy and glassy. Jay has the butt of experience that feels out these things.
Jay Leno spun out in a Carrera at 180MPH in 2005
Dunno about Jay's actual feel about hardened old tires. But personnally, I bought a 20 y.o. sports car with only 27k KM on it. A garage queen. Did'nt think twice about their age untill a week later when showing it to a friend at a good pace. Then, a big crash in front of us at 140 kmh. Big braking, a miraculous hit avoidance streer and stop. Both panting in fear.
Had fresh, modern rubber installed 2 days after. Man, what a difference ! Will never, ever do that mistake again !
@@marcryvon ahh man that's frightening to read. mind if I inquire what the sports car was (or is)?
@@austinh1028 Tyres age regardless of the mileage and should be replaced before they get too old.
I wonder the same thing...
David saying his favorite is the 288 GTO just made me elevate my respect for his focus and intent on collecting Ferraris to whole different level...it's one of the most beautiful designs ever made by Ferrari. It's very common to say the F40 or to appreciate the most expensive model...I've always been crazy for the 288 and it's crazy how long it was undervalued as a hopped up 308/328 because of somewhat similar styling cues...David is the boss...humble, knowledgeable, passionate and open to share his collection with all of us car crazy folks...lastly...the engine song of the F50 is an exotic car fantasy soundtrack!
People care about the 288 because Ferrari says that you have to in order to be invited to own a new flagship Ferrari. Ferrari doesn't care about the 308 at all because they made a ton of them.
I agree. F40 is not my number one. In fact, I'm not really moved by it. I love the F50. 328 GTS just does it for me.
Everyone forgets the f40 is basically a 288 leman
Did you listen to the video? He's not as knowledgeable as he should be for someone calling himself "Ferrari Collector David Lee"
Thank you David and Jay for sharing your awesome vehicles with us an educating us about them. Love you guys.
The way Jay says "I really liked that car" talking about the f40 around 2:45 or so... that was love. In such a simple sentence, Jay showed a deep well of emotion. Crazy, and you love to see guys like Jay and David exist, and cherish cars as much or more, than the rest of us too. They are just dudes, and you gotta love that
David Lee is such a legend. What a great show watching the two of you
Great to see 2 collectors who really appreciate their cars, drive their cars and share them with the public. Thanks Mr. Lee and Mr. Leno!
Jays a master. he's never been a ferrari lover and is subtly showing us why. the cutting him off when he talks about the little gifts, comparing the superior Mercedes roof design, etc.
Not my favorite car, but one of my favorite clips. I love this guy's enthusiasm and the matching denim is priceless.
I did say on David Lee s page, it would be nice to see the yellow F50 be driven by Jay, thx for making it happen! Looking forward to this one
It is always such a great video when David Lee stops in. So easy to tell these guys are real friends and that intro was amazing!
Jay’s friendship with David covers up the lack of Ferrari in his garage. Always special having David on the channel. The Jean jacket was a cool touch. 😂
one of my favourite cars ever. Never get bored of watching videos of this car.
When David walked out in the Leno shirt i nearly fell off my chair, hilarious.
David Lee seems like the coolest, down-to-Earth guy!
@@BZentinela wow. Cynical much?
I have to say, it took me a long time to like the way this car looks, because I've always been such a super fan of the boxy look of the f40, but this car has definitely become one of my favorites now, and it sounds absolutely amazing.
I love when David is on. He makes it so fun! Great shirt on this episode and when Jay gave him socks, hilarious hahahaha
These two are a perfect example of friends. Each are so different, and collect differently. Each appreciate each other. It's cool to watch...
I like that Mr. Lee has his Leno uniform on :)
You two collab so well together, just a lot of laughs and easy going vibe throughout the whole video. You should schedule more collabs in the future as you both have impressive car collections the world would love to see!
Back in the 1990’s I remember thinking the F40 was the cooler car. Now in the 2020’s, I’m definitely going choosing the F50….especially in that gorgeous yellow. The F50 is so clean.
These are two amazing men. I cannot thank them enough for providing this content for posterity. As a 30 year Ferrari driver, I feel blessed to see the F50 like this. Mr. Lee surprisingly didn't mention the reason behind the 349 production number. Luca Cordero di Montezemolo (then President of Ferrari) declared Ferrari had a worldwide market for 350 F50s- so they would only produce 349...
I'm not sure Mr. Lee will ever own "The Big Ten." The 288 GTO is probably my favorite car of all time, and if my memory serves me correctly, every example was red. I'm not the young man I used to be, and I don't remember exact production numbers as I once did, but I don't think any yellow 288 GTOs were produced. Best wishes to all.
Always fun to see Lee back, and finally a decent episode instead of all the constant marketing and branding stuff. Hopefully we will be seeing more of these type of uploads :)
"Women are like cars: we all want a Ferrari, sometimes want a pickup truck, and end up with a station wagon." Tim Allen
But the station wagon is a rs6
But the station wagon is a Grand Cherokee TrackHawk
😂 well not that bad.. but i get it
Try to straddle the best of both worlds. It's hard to live with a Ferrari everyday
Don't forget there's always junk in the trunk...and the junk will just keep growing and growing....ugh 😂
Gorgeous vehicles Mr. Lee. Thank you for showing them to us all.
Wow these are very nice rare rides!! Awesome channel and content!! Always enjoy your videos! Epic cars for sure!!
Thank you David for sharing your collection with us! I love the F50. There is just not a lot of content out there because they are so rare and valuable. Really enjoyed this “in motion” and not just parked on a lawn.
they WILL be parked on a lawn if people keep voting the Dems in office!!! Cash f Clunkers 2 and 3 are in the works and these gross pollutors will have the engines "put beyond use" ...DVD!!!!DVD!!!!DVD!!!! Dont vote Dem !!!!!!!
The F50 was my infatuation as a child, I had numerous posters and car models. Her gorgeous lines were love at first sight, and catapulted me off into the world of being an auto enthusiast.
Nice episode Jay. You guys crack me up too.... thanks for sharing the F50 dream.
The F50 27 years old Jay love your guest you bring to your show and love the unique cars you got aswell thank you for showing them off.
David Lee is back! I love it when he comes on, and it always give Jay a chance to appreciate Ferrari's; considering his own frustrations with the hoops Ferrari makes people jump through to own them.
Yeah, I noticed that too. Jay lets David jump through the hoops, and Jay just drives his cars. lol
Always like to see Mr. Lee as a guest. Upbeat and knowledgeable. He always seems as happy as if he'd won his cars in the lottery. But of course he is smart and worked smart to get to be able to afford them.
Oh god well noticed.
David's father started the lucrative jewelry business. Pure luck my friend.
@@wanderingdoc5075 not really. All success comes with a small amount of luck. He’s still pretty astute though.
@@mattmorris2867 True. But pointing out how it all started (daddy's business)
@@wanderingdoc5075 maintaining a business is just as hard maybe even more hard than creating a business. May the jealously rub off you some day.
David Lee n J Leno with the Leno Denim’s on is just classic David always messing with J 😊😅😂
Is it me, or does Jay seem to not only know amazing cars, but equally amazing people.
These are the nicest, most humble down to earth millionaires on earth.
We have lost a certain class of gentleman in this country that used to be in plenty. I remember a time when if a man wasnt as nice, and as well spoken, and as honest down to earth as these guys. He was an outcast or weirdo.
Our country used to be awesome when it was full of men like these 2.
Don’t think there’s ever been many of these people. These are the .0000001 %
The F50 is one of the most beautiful Ferrari's ever made
Yeah it’s tasty looking I can’t believe Jeremy Clarkson said they are ugly
the car that pushed me in studying mechanical engineering
Is the most beautiful car ever made*
@@arcticwolf8150 You know what they say about beauty, yes? I think Chris Harris did a video some years back, comparing the F40 to the F50 neck-to-neck with a driving session as well, and that really illustrated the different design languages and the corporate background in which the two cars were "conceived". Well worth a watch.
Always great seeing you and david together!
I love hearing these 2 dudes talk about their cars. Neither one of them are like mine is better then yours. They are both just so humble.
The Porsche 959 was the first production car to go 200 mph
No
Nope. 959 hit 196. Very close but didn’t quite hit that mark. F40 made it past 200
@@pandamera1 the 959 came in 2 variants. The regular one and a sport model that was about 200 pounds or so lighter. It hit 200 mph.
I always love when Dave visits and how you egg him on. "10 years" in high school. LOL. Keep up the great content Jay!!!
The presence, the rarity, the race heritage. I would have a heart attack if I saw one in person. One of those cars if I owned, I would just sit on a lawn chair in the garage and just stare at it all weekend long.
There’s a shop down the street where I live in Miami. It’s got an F40 and F50
Cars are meant to be driven and trailer queens are lame! I've got the upmost respect for Jay and David because they actually get out and enjoy their cars.
Go to Las Vegas Ferrari store
@@gregmather3343 agree
nobody should ever need to worry about you owning one
David Lee’s cars collection is just mind blowing. Great video
Beautiful cars. Thank you for sharing
In 1987 the Ferrari F-40 was the last car that Enzo personally had a hand in its production before he passed. That’s why the F-50 didn’t have much more of a world press release than the F-40 by 1995.
That and because the Mclaren f1 was released. The F1 was so ahead of its time.
Very important point
@@wymcarstuff2305 That and also the F40 was slightly faster in a straight line over 60 mph, being lighter, less draggy and having more torque (and more than the 478HP Ferrari advertised it seems).
The original F1 actually was worse than both Ferraris while cornering and braking, but the acceleration was out of this world, that narrow slippery body made all the difference, it is not all about the power.
Wonderful machines all of them.
@@iulian2548 you're absolutely right. I'm a 90s baby so these were the cars that I saw in magazines and I still look at them in awe today. I still haven't seen an F1 in person yet.
Enzo was a very old and sick man in 1987. The car is from Ing. Nicola Materazzi who did most of the work
This was my fav of any car for a good portion of all of my younger times. The yellow looks so splendid on the F-50! 💛
These two are great together. Great car.
It is the so cool that two icons in car collector along with Bruce Meyer of the Petersen Museum, are the most down to earth people imaginable! Who would have thunk that these two gentlemen have about 300 cars between them.... and the valuation of those are beyond mere mortals comprehension!! Thank you so much for sharing these beautiful pieces of machinery Mr Lee, Mr Leno....we truly appreciate letting us see these works of art rolling art up close and personal! You two should do a show together sharing your knowledge, thoughts and opinions on cars! We would watch it weekly .....!!! I bet CNBC would air it too!
By Far my favorite Ferrari. Thanks for sharing.
The F50 is a great car, but often gets overlooked and is underrated. I have a red F50 Spyder model car right next to me on a shelf lol
They're like apprentice and master for extreme car collecting. You can tell Lee has a genuine respect for Leno.
Jay. Thanks for giving so much.
I like David he seems like a mellow Dude with some very cool cars I might add lol
Yay, something with an internal combustion engine!
Love your show Jay!
It was the 1995 Christmas...my uncle's family were visiting from Italy, my uncle was a truck driver. They give me this bag, and inside was a plain box with gray and black checker pattern. I didn't even care about it. My uncle was like 'are you sure you don't wanna check it out?' It was the Ferrari F50 inside the checker box, the BBurago toy. I will never forget the feeling. I still have the car.
You know Jay is a car god when he knows the tire I old by just the feel of it driving not by looking at the manufacturing date.
David knows Jay will never buy one, so he shares...what a guy!
Why wouldn't he buy one?
Jay and his Canadian Tuxedo never disappoints :)
They're a great team, and such a pleasure to see Jay so utterly relaxed, jokes and all.
The F50 finally!!! The only mid engined v12 6 speed manual production car Ferrari ever produced.
David a real one not sure if any other guest has gone denim 👏🏾
David Lee seems like just a great guy. Two great people here!
What about me? Am I cool?
That exhaust note is downright sexy
David and Jay make the best episodes!! Thanks both of you! Always awesome to see a new episode with David.
Time to start selling Jay Leno's Garage denim shirts, Jay.
Definitely want to see more videos of this pair, funny and refreshing!
Never forget the day I saw one in person, such a cool Ferrari!
The F1 team was racing with Good Years tyres in 94, so they had the partnership. That's why they developed the tyres for the F50.
Makes sense
David Lee is always a huge dose of positivity, F50 is also my favourite midengined Ferrari! pleasure to watch.
Great to see more of David's collection.
I see David Lee, I give thumbs up. Love his car passion/knowledge and sense of humor!
