Im SO glad he eventually got the exact same Ferrari that he was dying to get so many years ago..!
As a 10 year old in 1984 - Magnum's Car will always be special to me.
This guy loves his car, I can really appreciate that.
Me too!!!!
Chef Mike: Agreed. He is a true enthusiast and I love the child-like giddiness he exudes when talking about his car.
Yep. He's what I call the ultimate success. He does his favorite passion & hobby for a living! So this guy doesn't "work" for a living like the rest of us. Whether you're a township maintenance employee or the owner of a hedge fund, we all truly do work for a living. This man is the rare exception. He truly "lives" for a living.
@@flaccidego4291 right, i also feel there's not a lot of guys in the his area that can fix Ferraris like him. So if thats your job, you can basically write your own check.. 😎
This gentleman is a great storyteller. I really appreciate the passion for the 308!
He's in jail and that's where he'll stay.
Finally a guy that can out-talk Jay
He's very passionate about it. He was a kid when he first saw it. Now owns the same car from his 20s.
Bigchubby ...he’s a good strong personality, not intimidated by fame or fortune. Good man.
There’s reasons he’s single. 1. The mouth. 2. He’s married to the car. I bet he parks it in his living room and spends the evening staring at it. Oh wait, that’s me. ......Who knows what this pervert is doing.
he actually even interrupted Jay a few times
"Right" "Right" "Right"
I feel like this is one of the more natural and casual conversations on this channel. You can tell Jay was really enjoying hanging with this dude and talking shop
Haha love that I spotted your comment on here. Both your guys' channels are GREAT! You can really tell that Jay has plenty of money but he uses his passion of cars to determine how much they are REALLY worth, and this was a beautiful car.
Ah, the Metal Jesus is also a car enthusiast. Love your gaming channel man!
Good episode and great car, Metal Jesus Rocks awesome to see you on here love your channel also.
This car is a hidden gem.
Yup...not starstruck like others...commonality
Best quote ever re: Ferrari, “All the same, except for the way they’re built.”
Pretty well sums it up.
My favorite Ferrari quote goes like this: "Lots of car companies have racing teams. Ferrari is a racing team that has a car company."
this dude is in actual love with his own car, the way he thanked jay leno after he said its a lovely looking car was like he was complimenting one of his children
A lot of crap being talked about the owner but he strikes me as a passionate, informed guy who found his dream car and will never sell it. Major props to him. To me the 308 will always define what a Ferrari is. Surprising how beautiful this one looks in white!
It was a perfectly designed car... not many of those.
It's a freaking brick.
@@777jones lol perfectly designed? How would u know? You are quite stupid and ignorant
I don't know, but he seems like a big sissy to me. And I don't mean gay, I mean a sissy. Weaselly and snarky, smarmy, sneaky, like the one who plans the robbery and then goes running to the cops, yelling "I didn't wanna participate! They made me!"
@@kyongslist It's ignorant to assume that he DOESNT know what he's talking about as well......just saying.....
This guy is a true petrolhead who actually drives his car. Awesome to see a 100,000+ Ferrari!
ODO says 77k
Oh there is plenty being drove just not so much where we live. You can go to other foreign country’s where there is oil and they will have garages full of these just abandoned it’s crazy. Must be nice to just use up and abandon a $500k car. 🤦🏼♂️
I really dig how this guy is so proud of his wheels. I'm jealous.
I love going along for the ride. Jay has to be one of the most down-to-earth guys who survived show-biz.
Now this is a man that truly is in love with his car. I respect that. Awesome episode! I always had love the 80s style Ferraris.
Same here, and I can relate
I grew up with these cars, and I did some some in person, time and again.
they are the best and passion is what makes it even better
💯
115K miles on the Ferrari.....Good for you! Cars are meant to be driven.
that shocked me...115k is the highest for a Ferrari...what a waste
actually, Ferrari's sole purpose in designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling cars is to make profit.
but hey! don't let reality get in the way of all your cliches and regurgitated sentiments...
reactorfallout don’t be a snob. It makes you sound like that fellow with the long bottom jaw on ‘Family Guy’.
a snob? you must not be familiar with the term. snob implies i believe my tastes are "better" than yours.
I made a statement about the intended "purpose" of manufacturing cars....so, wtf are you talking about? idiot...
He is not selling the car.. so why not drive it
This car is Art. It is beautiful.
I love the owner's enthusiasm, great episode!
I never get bored watching Jay. He loves full size spare tires.
The man's passion for this car is refreshing. Great episode!
Two car guys in harmony. Their finishing off each other's sentences. Lovely car. Looks great in white. This guy just loves his car and knows everything about it. Respect.
That’s so cool he finally got HIS car. The exact one he tried to buy. Destiny! Congrats sir and enjoy your Ferrari.
I'm a long time GM tech that works across the street from the BEST Ferrari restoration shop in the world (small town in North Texas) and this video really makes me wanna investigate a career change.
I think I’ve been there. I live in Ryan Place (Ft. Worth) and I know there’s a guy in Denton who turbos 308’s and different older Ferrari’s
@@RobertSmith-le8wp Bob Smith's renown Ferrari shop is in Gainesville.
This guy is a breath of fresh air. He’s magical. And he’s renewing my love and passion for Ferrari’s
SevenFoot Pelican I agree
And he's in prison now.
I was able to drive a 1987 328 gtb once for a couple of hours in 1987. It was amazing! I'd love to acquire one and make it new again.
love to hear his story and how he created his own job of restoring Ferraris.
I grew up in the 80's and absolutely adore the 308 and 328 shape. In my eyes they're so perfectly proportioned. Thanks to Jay for featuring Donnie. He is nothing but passion and it was a joy to watch him share his stories. A bit surprised to see so much disapproval in the comments. The only difference between Donnie and other guests is he seems more confident is all. Maybe that got mistaken for arrogance but I didn't see it that way at all. Just two legends bouncing stories off each other. Oh and white is such a perfect colour for Ferrari's.
i love you this is exactly how I experienced it
@@donniecallaway2546 Love you too. I was captivated the entire video. Keep up the great work!
Yes, for Ferraris it's white, black or red in my book. You can sometimes throw a yellow one in there, too.
J Leno's garage is the only TH-cam channel that does not do Click Bait😁😋😁😋
Harry's Garage and TheSmokingTire too.
J doesn't need to
All the titles are click bait to us
*cough cough* Hoonigan channel
The 250 and the 308 are such classy looking cars. I'm a sucker for that 80s look too.
*These cars are not to be driven without wearing a Hawaiian Shirt and $5 Aviator Mirrored Sunglasses from the convenience store.*
250? I know the 288 sure looks good
The usdm bumper looks ugly tho
Same here. I love the raw and mechanical look of 80s Ferrari’s. I hate the futuristic, robotic, soft, curvy and glassy/shiny look of the modern day stuff.
@@donaldsalkovick396 you don't like the 250?
always loved the styling of this car, looks great in white.
guy seems really passionate, nice to see a working man get his dream car
Hey I'm passionate, Would you please give my TH-cam racing channel a Subscribe Daves Racing channel
Daves Racing Channel I'll check you out bro, cheers 😀
Daves Racin Channel
Better than sounding bitter..
"since I'm not selling it" ... I can tell the truth!
Jared if you’re selling an expensive car. “It’s never been in an accident, just modified”
@@EqualsThreeable
Or it's just "previous owner had a bump in a parking lot/daughter backed into it"
Tell the truth would be new ground for this guy.
But its WHITE ???
@@maseratimike4685 WTF?
One of my favorite Ferraris of all time. And great story of one mans passion of restoring.
Jay I admire you so much for having such people on the show. Thanks a lot.
What a wonderful car. The pictures from inside the car, a proper simple steering wheel without airbag, and the instrument cluster... this is from back when cars were made.. not driving infotainment systems
I love my story with this car. My dad had one of these (red/tan) when I was 7 or 8 (41 now). In the winter, it had just snowed with barely an inch on the ground. My dad took us out to a large and very empty parking lot one evening, and he did donuts for a good 15 min. I utterly loved it!
I love Donnie's attitude about his car and Ferraris in general. His enthusiasm is infectious. I really enjoyed watching this program. Thank you very much.
Great to see a real car guy who owned and appreciated this 308 the best way he could, out of determination and love.
Not to disrespect Mr. Leno who has taken a more ambitious yet rewarding route in life, and now has fewer limitations.
Two peas in a pod right here. This is what car nuts look like when they meet.
I will always have a soft spot for the 308, when I was 6 years old my Dad ordered me a birthday cake with a Ferrari 308 on it.
Happy memories.
That's the timeless Ferrari! Beautiful and makes my heart skip a beat!
This was a great episode, it was like the conversations many of us car and bike nuts have when we see a cool vehicle and the friendly owner comes over when he sees how much you like his car.
Really enjoy seeing the guys who know their stuff and can go back and forth with Jay, especially in a genuine manner. Great episode.
I've always liked this Ferrari I guess it was Magnum Pi. The lines are as beautiful today as it was in the 80's
Very nice show. Two guys that show their passion on their sleeves. Love the 80's cars and especially the Ferraris.
17:15 "Sometimes i watch a girl stuck inside and I just watch her panic" Jay: "........right can we take the car for a ride?"
Yeah I'm surprised that wasn't edited out... Also the most ugly Ferrari I've ever seen frankly
LOL
@@brucecharlie8613
Are you crazy? This is beautiful. And don't call me Frankly.
@@cptnoremac fair enough
🤔
Did 128,000 miles in mine without a single breakdown. Thrashed it every inch of the way too. 308 QV's are the most reliable mid-engined Italian sports car made in my opinion. Got 2 other friends with 100k + miles 308's too, one is a 78 carb car, again both cars are trouble free. The ones that sit around in garages are the ones with problems. 308's were meant to be used and driven hard, the harder the better. Cheaper parts than most modern everyday cars, easy on fuel and cheap to insure as a classic. I also did 112,000 miles totally trouble free in a 550 Maranello, again rev limited it virtually every time I drove it. Another well built car.
James Fairmind cool
Yeah it looks fantastic, 80s Ferraris look cool. The seats though look super uncomfortable as they drive. And these guys are short, i have no chance to fit in one of these at 193 cm.
That’s such a beautiful car. A white 308 is my dream car. I love when he said “I’ll drive it, I’ll drive it hard”. It’s a car. That’s what they’re for!!!
Jay and Donnie it was a joy to watch this episode. Donnie your passion is palpable and how you run your restorations is such an inspiration. I enjoyed watching this vid and seeing the care put in this car so much. Keep up the good work guys.
13:09 Bosch K-Jetronic. The best. Used by Mercedes, Audi etc. It was great to let the guy talk. Thanks Jay.
It is the best. My Dad's 1984 Volvo Turbo has 224,000 miles on it......and even after 34 years , the Bosch K-Jetronic has never needed service.
yeah my mpfi is dying finally need a distributor rebuild (i think) now at 300k mi+
@bare nekid Well, I've owned 10 Audis, 5 Mercedes, and 3 VWs. Never had a moments problem with the injection. But thanks for your knowledgeable reasoned input
I'm sure someone already called this out, but is that a big DENT in the drivers side door?
You can see it at 24:17.
It was clean when they left J's shop. That either happened while they were driving, or the retouch artist didn't get the later shots.
Hmm now I'm wondering what happened. That's my worst nightmare when you let someone drive your car and they scratch it up.
Haha you're right
I saw it too. it drove me nuts. I used to have an R8 and I sold it because I was so nervous to leave it parked anywhere for fear of coming back to dents and scratches.
"It was clean when they left J's shop."
I don't think so. The dent was there the whole time.
@@chefmike4414 especially if it wasn't their fault and could've easily happened to you if you'd been driving but it didn't, they hurt the car and you blame yourself for letting them borrow it and them for the damage even though you know they weren't really at fault. Best just get over it, give them a bit of a hard time, have a good laugh at their expense as you start fixing it at yours.
This is one of my favorite JLG videos. Donnie really cares about Ferrari and makes you care about them too. Great video
Jay, thanks for bringing us the best car demo/drives/discusions for us car enthusiasts! Especially like that you share an affinity for manual gear boxes! Whether it's my GT3 (manual) or my 1966 Downton Mini, both are a blast to drive, running through gears on winding country roads here in Maryland. Thank you for all that you do to keep the dream alive.
What a great story, it was meant to be his car! Glad to hear he drives it all the time!
The 308 was the first Ferrari I fell in love with back in the day. Great episode Jay! 👍
Jay, love your "JAY LENO'S GARAGE"! You are my fav., Stand Up Comedian, Talk Show Host, and Gear Head! Don't stop, your the greatest! Thank you for sharing all your beautiful cars with all your viewers! I'm a gear head likewise, my fav. car since I was a kid (I'm 71 now) was the FORD GT and still is. Can't afford one but I can still dream! And, by the way love your 2017 striped black GT! Have a wonderful day Jay, I will continue to watch your TH-cam channel, since I have subscribed! Catch you next time!
You have the best car channel anywhere. People want to see and appreciate cars, including the exterior, and you always show that.
Love Jay's old guy driving style exiting the garage, shuffling the wheel with his head tilted back and mouth open
Cool story dude, I appreciate you saving the 308. Beautiful machine.
This isn't my favorite episode, but it is way up there in the top 10 or so. The conversation was excellent and the information too.
Great guest, great car, great interviewing. Thank you Jay.
something about those cars just makes me happy, damn i love em.
For me its mainly the sharp, raw Angels, flat bodies and rather simple inside.
I love it when someone who owns a Ferrari says “I think cars are meant to be driven” and they have 5k miles on it and thats “a ton of miles” in their mind. I admire Ferrari owners who understand that to be classified as “driven a lot” it needs to have at least 50k miles
Total agree what's point in owning a car you love just to let it sit in garage. Drive it and enjoy it. Don't be like Camerons dad from Ferris Buellers day off. Be Ferris 😉
this guy is so enthusiastic about the hose clamps and the fuel pressure dampener. I'm like this.
This is IT! Jay. Thank you! To witness a true to life pioneer of one of the finest definitive hallmarks in luxury sports automobiles, walk us through a journey through test and time. Attest to the glory and triumph by which few venture into let alone entertain. Truly a milestone. As always excellent content.
Thanks Jay, It is good to see a stock original car, not a 1000 HP fire breathing monster that some shop made for a million dollars.
One of the best looking Ferrari's, still looking amazing today.
this story was one of the first jay lenos garage i had searched for. O Belo indeed. i have been binge wathing ever since. almost caught up. love this car. thank you ever so much for doing what youve done .
That was really sooo nice of Jay to give him that double plug. I’m sure that gave him a really nice uptick in traffic with his business.
Gotta love Jay; always such a class act.
Beautiful. In many ways prefer the looks to the new ones 🔥🔥🔥🔥
2 Million Subs
When your channel reached a million subs you said that if we liked the burnout video you posted then - then we we love what you do when you reach two million subs. Hope to see that before you reach three million..
I love it when classic cars end up in the hands of mechanics. It's so unfortunate that mechanics in general can't be wealthy enough to own a bunch of them. These guys really love their cars. And you can tell Jay is enjoying this. They're both relaxed and talk about their passion while enjoying the car.
There are many pleasant episodes of the Garage but this is one of my favorites the story about the car etc. pretty charming.
Really awesome to see someone making a living out of their hobby. That is what I am aspiring to do :)
Donnie is a very impressive Ferrari technician. Just ask him, he'll tell you.
you were great in Casino
Such a great video. Really appreciate the experience of owning and driving a Ferrari of that era. Well done!!
Great episode thoroughly enjoyed it it was my dream car growing up and I appreciate all the insight
Donnie is now famous with the authorities and incarcerated in AZ for attempting to sell vintage Ferraris that belong to customers but the owners were not told.
Nasty FerrariChat reference in teh Bloomberg report
I love how he personifies Ferraris as people because they are living creatures. 308 is the ultimate fighter jet slicing through the wind. You just can’t help but stare at that car
Jay's spot on. When I saw this in the magazines as a kid, nothing affected me more than this Ferrari. I even remember what the writer said "One of the handful of the hottest cars in the world..."
That is the Magnum P.I. car. I remember it well. Glad, you all took me back to my childhood. (:
This was HIS car that he wanted when young and broke. It will never be a big dollar Ferrari simply because it's white and has crash bumpers. But it is HIS. And he wants it exactly as it came from the factory in appearance. I'm that way about my Porsches (and have been for 46 years). I applaud him for his diligence towards originality. Yeah, he make like embellish things a bit. Give the guy some slack.
Plenty more creepy Americans than this guy, that's for sure.
He's a true petrolhead. I love this guy....but not like that/
The Miles Davis story was all b.s.
So nice to see a GTB instead of a GTS and a color other than red !!
Yeah not every Ferrari needs to be a Magnum PI Ferrari, Just like not every 69 Charger needs to be a General Lee.
Love the passion of the owner. Excellent episode!
Love this episode. Love Donnie's passion. Love the 308. Great episode.
My Mom has one of these when I was a kid. She loved it so much.
...or somebody right.
@@chrisfi3d 🤣
Always wanted Magnums 308 GTS so this is wonderful. Back in the 90s I looked into these and found them for about $35k. Wanted one so bad.
Never seen Jay so quiet. This dude can talk. Love his passion.
I really enjoyed listening to these two talk, really excellent guest
I honestly have to take my hat off to Jay for being so calm and collected here... I'm sure this isn't Jay's first exposure to someone this important. Someone who thinks every single detail they reveal is somehow more unique or intriguing than some ancient artifact. A guy who knows just enough about cars to be able to Bamboozle the less knowledgeable and does so regularly. I know I would not be able to get through a litany of mundane or semi significant details like this, without getting short (or worse sarcastic) with the person. Hey, at least I am working on identifying my flaws and trying to be more understanding. Mr Leno is a Smooth Operator.
Watching two middle aged men trying to lower themselves into the car was the best bit for me.
Lol
ya I heard a grunt in sterio.
Middle-aged if Jay lives to 138YO
Hell Jay is almost 70. Hard to believe.
I'm taller than both of these guys, and I'm trying to imagine how I would drive one of these.
nothing is more infectious and interesting than genuine passion. this guy is great. and the car looks amazing in white
Such an achingly beautiful car. I've always loved them in silver, but the white is stunning as well. It's wonderful to see one so beautifully and lovingly kept, but getting miles on it!
Man, does it look good in white! I think it's due to all the black effects on the body. Like a stormtrooper.
Great genuine guy with a nice story.
These videos are just so awesome. I just watched the 35l Pantera just like I had when I was a kid. Now this ,84 308 . I had a yellow one back in the late 80,s. Jay is right about 100,000 being just a shitload of miles for a Ferrari. After 15,000 you have to have them completely rebuilt with new timing components or run the chance of them blowing up going down the road. I had that done twice before I sold it and got the Red 88 Testerosa. Man I loved that car for sure. Even thou I'm 6.3 and size 15 shoe. Wich is just hard as Hell not to hit all three pedals at once. Now I drive a Ford F150. Oh well. Still have the memories. My old back can't handle them sport cars any more. I do like the Imperial convertible that Jay has.
That ding in the driver's door at 24:15 made me cry! And yes, there is nothing quite as nice as a naked steering wheel without an airbag. Even better when it's a proper Momo.
So many haters in the comments. People saying he didn't have 25k cash. Who says he didn't? He also knew he needed a ton of money for parts. Look at that thing it is perfect.
Cant believe all the hate the owner is getting. I really like him
Couldn’t agree more. 👌Trolls! 👎
MrWeeRhys yea what’s with the hate? Live and let live
Agree.
Stories make it! Otherwise just read the specs.
Totally agree - very passionate about his car, knows his stuff and the story about wanting that very same car when he was a youngster is pretty amazing.. Strange how Jay seems to not be that keen on him either though 😕
I can really relate to the comment about 4th gear. That sweet spot from 45 to 100+, no need to shift or brake. I do it in an older 911, but weight and power very similar. Love the analog cars that you can responsibly use all the power.
Terrific. Love that White Ferrari. So much work and passion.
Another great video J , Leno . Greetings from a 21 year old Mexican young man. Lovely Italian car history
