- I was invited to be part of an upcoming episode of Donald Osborne's "Behind the Bowtie" appraisal segment on the CNBC TV series Jay Leno's Garage. This video shows some of the scenes from my trip to California, my exploration of Jay's collection, and some interaction with Jay himself. Looking forward to seeing how the episode turns out when it airs this summer!

Damn, that Integra GS-R looks amazing for having over 250,000 miles! Hard to believe that car is 30 years old now! Seems like just yesterday when these cars came out.
I know, definitely doesn’t “feel” like a classic car!
oh come on. I got one for my graduation and now I am 50.
@@jamesmedina2062 Keep it as long as you can. You can tell people you're still driving the car you got for graduation. It will make them wonder if you're really 50, lol! I will hit that milestone next year BTW.
@@reallyrandomrides1296 dude I wish!!!! My reality is that I wore that car like it was my only shoes!!!! After 2-3 years it had been through a war...having struck curbs, coyotes, etc. I do miss it now but I exported it as I did not want it due to a hearing problem I developed. My father owned a 1988 Legend, 1990 Legend and a 1991 Legend. I got his 88 Legend Coupe for a while and the 1990 Legend sedan. Those are really nice!! I owned V6, V8, and VR6 for a while until the turbo 4's became popular because my ear too sensitive to noises. The car I wished I had was Civic SI with K motor because when it has balance shifts it is smoother and makes nice sounds. I was a audio addict as well. I like my daily engine to hum not wail or scream. I miss my 90 Integra for the great handling looks and hi speed stability.
@@TysonHugie There was a kid in high school that had one of these... would HAMMER it every single day down our residential street... I really don't think I've ever seen one that was 100% stock since the mid 90's... by 1999 prettymuch all of them were destroyed by the < 40 IQ crowd.
Jay is an amazing guy. It's so cool you got to walk around his shop! I've never been but I know where it is, I used to work nearby and saw him around town several times. One time I saw him at In N Out with a 1914 Premier, I think it was that car he used brand new tech at the time to 3D scan the water pump and cast a replacement part.
He told me about the 3D printing stuff he's been doing for some of his cars!
You came a long way! I’m proud to have you as our representative for the Acura/ Honda community ...you do a excellent job and I feel your professionalism will bring more people into the classic Acura’s/Honda’s
That means a lot, I appreciate it!
Wow that is awesome, and to meet Jay Leno as well! Awesome experience, thanks for bringing us along!
You bet, thanks for watching!
Congrats!!! What an honor to personally be inside that garage.
It's a toybox of extreme proportions!
What an honour to meet Jay!!
And what an incredible nice Integra you have.
Of course it does 800 miles flawlessly. It's Honda Quality and technology. Simply the best there is.
Love your Videos!
Thank you!
So cool. The vehicles are impressive but I'm equally impressed by the decor/memorabilia in there!
Definitely. Artifacts for days.
Awesome! Can’t wait to see the future video. I also have a 92 GSR (white). I’ve owned mine for 10 years and won’t let it go. Spent a ton of money to “restore” it and have kept the majority of the car stock. Love your videos and much respect to a fellow enthusiast.
Thanks Eric, appreciate that. Your GS-R sounds like a beauty!
Man I have driving 3 different day gsr my buddy had a white one with leather was supper cool! My other buddy had a red one had a cool story had been stolen and was parked in the woods for 5+ years then he got it. Then I got a Aztec da gsr with the original Engine and transmission but the body was terrible I wish I had kept it but had other cars I had to have and I hated not being able to leave it anywhere!
Congratulations!! What an honor it must be to meet a legend ☺️ like Jay. Thanks for representing the enthusiast community. Can't wait to watch the episode 👏
You bet! Thank you!
Jay should feel proud to meet you Tyson 🤣🤣🤣
Very cool! Glad the GS-R did well, a perfect little cruiser for the task. The lighting sure made that paint pop on set, I’m glad you had the opportunity to share the car and talk about it with him. I very much look forward to the episode this summer!
You and me both! Thanks Matt!
Reliability & dependability. Just what we’ve all come to expect from Honda Motor Co. well done, Tyson.
CONGRATS, very happy for you man! Appreciate you sharing the behind the scenes to allow us to experience such a momentous event. Definitely looking forward to the episode. I know your teal jewel is worth more now than ever, especially now with Jay's stamp. 🤑
Haha, thank you! Yeah a few people were upset at me letting Jay deface the glove compartment... I'm like, Jay can sign that car wherever he darn well pleases! :)
Congratulations. I've always been a big fan of Jay Leno all the way back to my childhood. Sounds like he is an all around stand up guy. Looks like you had a blast on this trip. What a way to kick off the year!
Well said! Thanks for coming along!
This is amazing! Talk about an experience you'll never forget.
My wife and I got to attend a taping of The Tonight Show when he was hosting. I remember him coming out before the show started. He was wearing blue jeans and a denim button down shirt. Just totally down to earth and friendly with the audience.
I'm really happy you were able to do this and share it with us.
Exactly! Jay was very approachable and interactive. Fun experience for sure.
awesome buddy! can't wait to see your mug on tv!😎
Haha, I'm sure I looked and acted like a doofus as usual!
@@TysonHugie that's what I'm hoping for!😁🤞
Awesome, Tyson! Looks like an amazing trip. So cool you got to meet Jay and be on the show. Wish I still had my '67 Camaro and '91 318is BMW haha.
Haha, yeah this was an honor! Looking forward to seeing what the episode looks like when it airs. I watched your video on chocolate bread this morning!
@@TysonHugie I bet! Definitely let me know when it airs so I can watch it. Awesome, glad you watched the chocolate bread video!
Nice GS-R, I bought a 1992 aztec pearl back in the late 90's from my brother as a first car.. which almost resulted in me losing my license a few times. This car was surprisingly quick against the mustangs and camaros of the time and I hurt a lot of egos with it.. so fun and a true automotive unicorn.
That’s awesome!
Congrats bro, meeting the ultimate car guy is definitely a lifetime experience!
Couldn't agree more!
So awesome Tyson!!! Thanks for sharing… can’t wait to watch it!!
Me too! Anxious to see how it turns out
Wow Tyson that's just awesome you were able to be a part of this! I can't wait till this episode comes out. Thanks for another great behind the scenes vid.
You bet! Looking forward to seeing how the episode turns out!
Congratulations Tyson, that must have been a thrill! Looking forward to seeing the episode. I’m truly jealous.
Thank you! Yes it was an honor to be part of this!
Grats Tyson! This is awesome. Can't wait to watch for the full episode when it releases.
Thank you! Yes I was stoked to be part of this. Hope to see you guys soon.
What an honor to get invited to something like that. You're living many car enthusiasts' dream. That must've been such a pleasure to have one of your many prized possessions out on display for the big screen. Great video as always.
Thanks CJ! I'm looking forward to seeing the episode when it debuts!
Awesome video Tyson! Jay's the man and what an experience to share with us!
Thanks Luke!
Truly amazing! Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I owned a 92 GS-R.But mine was red.
Greatest car I ever owned.
Thanks for the memories!
I still have the original brochure from the dealer.Your car is in it.
Awesome. They are great cars for sure! I think I have that same brochure.
Really enjoyed the content of this video. Cool you got to meet and hang with Mr. Leno. Also, that one beautiful INTEGRA you got there buddy! Can't wait to watch the episode when it airs!!!!
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Congrats dude!! Looking forward to the episode you have the best collection of Acura 👍👍
Thank you!
Just amazing. How inspiring. Thanks for sharing, Tyson!
You bet Jason!
Dude! You never cease to astonish! Stoked for you brother. When I saw this video pop up, I was like, go figure, Tyson is now best friends and hanging out with Jay..
Haha, you know it. It was an honor to be part of this.
Tyson way to go bud! Bringing the second gen Integra to the main stage in perfect fashion. Way to represent the Acura brand 👏🏻
You know it my friend!
So jealous bud. Amazing coverage of the day and I'm excited to watch the episode when it comes out. It's about time you get some more visibility for the hard work you put into your cars. Great job!
I appreciate that! Keep the uploads coming on your channel, too!
Wow, congratulations! Thanks for the content again! Must have been nice to tour the garage!
It was really awesome, thank you!

Dude that was awesome! we got to wander around with ya! Wicked cool! Thanks! Best little private tour Ive seen!
Thank you!
Kids and I just watched and loved it! Becks said he would love to spend hours and hours there looking at all of those cars. Can’t wait to watch the episode when it comes out!
Haha, thanks for tuning in! Glad you guys enjoyed!
Wow Tyson that is incredible. So neat Jay had you to his garage. Can’t wait to see the show.
Me too! We'll see how the episode turns out this summer :)
What an insane collection Leno Has !
Pretty awesome!
So cool Tyson - what a special experience for you!
It was a blast! Thank you!
Great video Tyson! It was a long drive, but it was definitely worth it. Meeting Jay and seeing his collection must have been an event of a lifetime. I wish the Grand Tour guys Jeremy, Richard, and James would come visit him. That'll be a great "next" special for them.
That would be very sweet!
@@TysonHugie Hey man, I hope you're doing well! I think I stumbled onto your channel through a TH-cam suggestion from a Jay video. Anyway, nice to see Big Brother works sometimes jk jk.
I had a used 86 Honda CRX HF as a high school car. It is still the best car I ever owned. It finally died at 287,000 miles.
Are you a Top Gear/Grand Tour fan?
Congratulations! You deserve it.
Thank you!
My 92 SI EG (fully NA built) Civic B18C1 swap. It was my favorite car I've ever owned. Still is to this day. What an awesome experience.
That’s awesome, great car
I’m impressed you were able to keep this car so clean and original. I bought a ‘92 GSR that had 260kmiles that had seen better days but still drove phenomenally, caught 3rd on the test drive. As I kept it I replaced all warn out parts with aftermarket race parts. I had to swap the engine to a JDM B18c because I could not get replacement parts for the Uber rare 1.7… I couldn’t even get a replacement head gasket for that engine. Still a lovely car to drive…slow enough to not get me into trouble but fun still. I kept it due to what I put into it cost wise, I will never get back. I have an Antique tag and collector car insurance for $300 a year. I track it every now and again. Currently has 360k + miles. Parts include; Eigbach springs, Koni adjustable shocks, poly bushings, ACT stage II clutch, and all the normal bolt ons, carbon hood, swapped in the JDM one piece lights, and got authentic RAys gram light wheels. Dyno tuned with 160 WHP weighing approximately 2700 lbs. Again, props on an all original one. As I said…my car needed serious work when I got it 18 years ago…I tried to keep it tastefully modded.
Thanks, sounds like you are still enjoying yours! That's cool you track it
Oh snap, congrats on the feature 😅! I can only imagine that experience bro & your GSR is pristine 🔥
Thanks Scott!
A true automobile enthusiasts appreciate a little bit of everything
Very well stated
Congrats brother! Hope your channel gets a ton of subs, Jay seems like such a humble and passionate enthusiast
Totally agree!
Great vid, Tyson! Love that GSR!
Thank you! Me too :)
Wow, what a great opportunity, and nice to see that level of interest in this iconic car. Thanks for the peek at Jay's collection.
Thank you! Yes it was an honor to be part of this
thats dope man, thanks for showing us the BTS
You bet, thanks for coming along
That’s amazing ! What a place to be,, I wonder back in the day on his show when someone was blabbing away he was thinking of cars? Lol
Haha probably true!
What an achievement! Can't wait to watch the show!
Me too, thanks for coming along!
What a great experience for you and your GS-R. My biggest thrill wouldn't be meeting Jay Leno, but being able to explore his garage at will as you did. (I'm guessing that Jay himself could appreciate such sentiments.) I've enjoyed motorcycles and cars both throughout my lifetime and for this reason I have a hard time imagining an overall collection that would be more fascinating than his. Looking forward to seeing the Integra getting some love on JLG in the near future!
Totally agreed, I loved the laid back treatment of it all. Just being able to wander and see all the cars and artifacts.
Thanks Tyson. Interesting. We were told no pictures when visiting. You obviously were privileged. Can’t wait for the episode.
Wow, surprised they didn't allow photos! Thanks, I'm looking forward to the episode as well!
That was so awesome , I'am a little jealous
Thanks Adam!
This was my dream car back in the day, but simply couldn’t afford. Thanks for sharing 😎👍🏻
My pleasure!
You Lucky guy! That's awesome Tyson! Definitely want to go there one day. Jay seems like a down to earth guy
He really is, and I'm glad I got to spend some time with him!
Acura Man - OMG - "Kudos" that is fantastic meeting a legend Jay Leno and most important being inside his garage seeing his incredible collection of classic cars, that is Amazing. I am still in shock, cannot wait to see his show this summer. ps. I 'am glad my nephew Henry from San Antonio reach out to you; he is now a new follower and fan of yours. Thank you for responding back to him.
Yes of course, it was nice to hear from him. Thank you!
Hey Tyson, great video, can't wait to see the Jay Leno special. Love that 92" GSR in Aztec green ! I had 2 GS-R's a 94 and a 98, really fantastic cars! Subscribed!
Hey thanks Peter!
What a dream come true for u. Jay Leno has a serious car collection. That brown Porsche 911 nice also but that nsx 🔥. I’ll be watching once it airs. Keep us posted. GsR nice. Miss seeing my Sonic GsR twin in ur garage
I do miss that Super Sonic sometimes too!
I've been following your channel for years. The 4dr legend GS 6sp sedan is my favorite. They truly don't make cars like that anymore. It's a shame because we didn't appreciate them when they were new.
Thank you, and I agree
With gas at these prices, seems like you should be driving the Integra more in the coming months!
Glad you got to meet Jay and tour his shop!
You’re right about that!
Sweet ride man, these were pretty cool cars back in the day (still are) and I can’t tell you the last time I saw one on the road. A girlfriend of mine back in 2000 had a burgundy 1996 Integra either LS or GS. It was automatic unfortunately, but still pretty cool… I opened it up one night on the way to the beach.
I remember after 110 mph it started struggling, but got it almost to 120 before I chickened out. After the first Fast and Furious movie came out they all got modded and chopped up. I love that 90s teal, and it’s a 5 speed!!! 😎
Haha yes verrrrry 90s period correct!
Whoa, it's already up! Very cool, Tyson 😊
Woohoo, thanks Matt!
Really cool man! Congratulations
Thanks Kadafi
What an amazing experience that must have been!!!!
I have this somewhat insane dream, to one-day ride my 1947 Honda Type-A across the country from PA to Jay Leno's garage.
That would be awesome!
That's awesome congrats!
Thanks Marc!
Brings back memories. A friend had one same year and color and options. Epic gsr. We had a ton of fun taking it to Florida and back and I loved those b17 engines. Very rare spec
Agreed, thanks!
Ha!!! I was supposed to go to a Burbank address on that block for a TV interview about ten years ago. I buzzed, the gate opened, and an older gentleman brought me inside. I stood there feeling a sense of deja vu. This was before YT, and the show was only on TV. I knew I knew the place, but I couldn't place it. And there was a HUGE steam engine that took up a whole wall. They told me I was in Jay Leno's garage, and they did the same thing, told me to wander around as much as I wanted. My correct address was down the street, but it was still cool as hell to be there.
That is awesome, haha
That is awesome, haha
So awesome ! what an opportunity!
I know, it was an honor!
I owned a 91 4 door integra rs and a black 93 gs-r back in early 2000s. I greatly regret selling them. The gsr was a gem to drive and I miss the feeling I had in it. My buddy and I drove it 4000 kms from Toronto to Prince Edward Island sleeping in the hatchback to save on hotels... good times
They are awesome cars
Wonderful vídeo bro you have inspired me to go get a Legend anywhere and fulfill my dream 💪🏽🔥
Thank you, hope you get a Legend
As you showed the S600, I was reminded of a story. At a past S2000 Homecoming, some of the C local S2000 owners mentioned that they were on a canyon cruise, and met Jay. He had told them that heliked the looks of the S2000, but had never driven one. He then talked to them about his S600 rebuild that he had just finished at the time. Still surprised he doesn't have one in his collection.
I am too! He did have that little diecast car, but he needs the real deal!
So awesome!
Thank you!
Wow this is a rare sight.
Glad I got to be part of it!
What a cool thing to be invited to do, Hugie/Tyson/Mr. 👏🏻
That's my name, don't wear it out! :)
I truly love the Acura Legend you have!! Especially the white one as my parents had an ‘87 Legend Coupe!
Yes! The white coupe is sold and actually is headed to its new home in Denver as of today.
Congrats Lenos Garage, your big time now :-)million subs coming soon
Haha thanks, not so sure about that!
Wow what a insane collaboration
Definitely wish I had more time to soak it all in!
That's one epic adventure 🎉congrats
Thank you!
Omg! I had a 90 prelude sr, just like that red one and my buddy had a 92' integra gsr and we used to race around and have fun! Those where the good ol' days! Gotta find a old prelude like that again!
They are great cars, even today!
@@TysonHugie 💯💯💯 after i payed off my suv in about 1 1/2 year, i'm a gonna be on the search for a older sports car, like a integra or prelude or even a old nissan 240sx! But yah, i love the way those cars where made! Cheers you lucky sob 😭 🤣🤣🤣🤣 but seriously, awesome that u do have those cars 👍👍
Jay Leno is one of the best dudes in the World, that he’s a car guy extraordinaire is a plus. That you got to spend time with him Tyson is a tribute to your passion for cars. Good for you!
Thanks Brian! It was an honor to be a part of this!
Cool to see Jays collection. And Acura looks awesome.
Thanks Rob!
@@TysonHugie Your welcome
Was just there in January! Such a great car guy and wonderful collection.
Was a 4800 mile round trip for us. We had to haul it out in a trailer. The Olds Jetfire
That sounds like an awesome trip
Very much looking forward to this episode. I love Jay Leno and his collection is obviously very impressive. But at the same time, he basically has unlimited resources to make that happen. In many ways, I think your auto and swag collection is more impressive, as a guy of "normal" means. And of course, happy to see the GS-R did so well!
Yes! I'll keep you posted when I hear about the episode airing - and hopefully they include lots of positive commentary on the GS-R!
so awesome!
Thank you!
That aztec green pearl paint looks so good up against the colors of a desert backdrop @ 4:00 mark. Glad this one got to get some fresh air so-to-speak, and even more glad it performed admirably throughout 🙌
Agreed on all! Felt nice to get the car out and enjoy it
My first car was a 1995 GS-R (bought it used with 42k miles when I turned 18 in 1999) and I wish I still had it. Such a fun car. It was similar to your color. Teal.
That’s awesome. They are fun cars even today
You're a lucky guy getting to go there and see that!
It was awesome!
So jealous of you getting to walk around jay’s garage
Thanks Kyle
I own a 1992 Honda Integra Xsi. Manual, Sunroof, Factory Mags etc since 1997 it's still a wildly fun car. I also store it these days, for a while it was worth only the engine & train, now... Wow
Very sweet car
great video, amazing car. jay is great too.
Thank you, agree on Jay!
Everything I've learned about Cars it's all been Jay Leno 💯 Migwech 🔥 Bless 🙏
That's awesome!
Can't wait to see it on the show
Me too, thanks!
Has the video came out yet ?
Nice!! Lucky dude and sweet ride. Here Jay is humble
He is! Thank you
Fellow Honda nut here (S2000 and Civic SI).. loved this!
Awesome, thanks Fred! Nice rides!
Love this brotha!
Thank you!
I remember all those Integra's constantly losing to my 5.0....... :D Ah the good ole days.
Haha sounds about right
