Nothing but respect for Jay. I was lucky enough to visit his garage through a friend of a friend and first thing I saw walking in was Jay leaned over into the engine bay of a pre-war Bentley. He stood up and turn around and I was star struck. Immediately he said hello, shook my hand, offered me a soda, and told me to make myself at home. He is the real deal.
I had the opportunity to meet him and visit his garage too, and my experience was the same. He's a really approachable guy and a true wrench-head. He has beautiful cars and you can tell it is his passion.
Good lord, how does everyone get a visit to Jay's garage but me :). Wonderful interview as always, I could watch Jay talk about cars for hours (and have!). I guess my favorite episode was when he hung out with Francis Ford Coppola with the Tuckers - unbelievable stuff - I'm sure Coppola wouldn't have done that for anyone else.
I was invited to go to his garage once. I didn't see him there, but I have met him twice at two different bookstores and twice at the same magazine stand in Van Nuys. He is a very shy, but nice guy.
Did you stay in his home for a day or two?
That’s what happens when you never forget from whence you came from! Jay was our last good late night host…his reruns are better then all the shows today combined….he will leave some good paragraphs in the annals of history! An American icon in my opinion.
I met and had an in-depth conversation with Jay at an event. People would come up and try to interrupt the conversation and he would say I am talking right now and the people would walk off.
Super nice, non pretentious and very intelligent on the subject of automobiles.
I am not a fan of many people but Jay will always have my respect.
Well he respects himself thus respects others.
So you don't have any money
@@stevep927 you want to rephrase your statement so the rest of us know what you are asking?
@@morganleblanc730 I'm not asking anything
Oh yeah I'm sure you did
My husband does business with Jay Leno and we had the privilege of touring his garage. It was AMAZING. Jay is the kindest person ever.
COOL HUSBAND !!!!!!!!!!
Okay
Leno = Optimism. It’s what makes visiting with him thru his videos such a pleasure.
For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the stock market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
@Craig Daniels It has never been easier to understand how to build your money than it is right now, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.
@@maiadazz Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I am a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $750k took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $150k since then.
@@tatianastarcic that's actually quite impressive, I could use some Info on your FA, I am looking to make a change on my finances this year as well.
@@richardhudson1243 Having a counselor is essential for portfolio diversification. My advisor is Melissa Scott Glazner who is easily searchable and has extensive knowledge of the financial markets.
Jay doesn't get enough credit. He's smarter than most people realize.
Yeah I was thinking leave it to a real car guy to make balanced observation of the current EV hype.
Except about immigration.
@@starman2337 that's probably a given to anyone familiar with fact that Jay is primarily focused on cars. I suppose some might look for his opinions on other issues but why?
@@stevenwilliams1805 No question that he knows cars.
@@starman2337 did I totally miss him talk about immigration in this video?
What an amazing guy ! No politics and no hidden agenda ! Thanks Jay
Jay is so sensible and understands how the world works
We old guys always hate the new thing. And sometimes we're proven right. But most times the new thing is just better 😁
lots of people know how the World works
Swimming through the cesspool which is social media and the internet is made worth it because of this kind of interview. Thank you for posting.
Don’t you really mean anti-social media?
Jay jay.. are you ever going to get back into Robot Wars ?
Hope he gets back into into it again.
As far as the Tesla car and others, there has been many videos out there that have shown the lithium battery in a garage or even out
as people driving have been know to catch on fire or explode in a garage which leaves a lot of damage.. just saying...
Plus what I have read Lithium is mined from the china using child labor. Then there are those in the US behind the curtain that
invest for profit billions to be made at the expense of young kid slaves. It's not the world that is a waste, it's the evil (dictators) in countries that keep
the lower negative vibrations alive...
@@torineg.847 🤡🤡
My Dad grew up during the depression, the oldest of eight kids in the family. He and all his brothers were good mechanics. My dad could figure out and fix anything mechanical, he could work with concrete, and he could and did build houses. That is what the depression did for many people in those days. His granddaughter took an office job in the old Stutz building in Indianapolis, IN. He asked for a tour since he had not been in the building in many years, but he had been there as a young man. The owner agreed and gave dad a tour. Then my Dad started telling the owner different things about the factory that he remembered. So, in the end it was the new owner who got the history tour.
The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks, Gold, silver and digital currencies.
I agree with you and I believe that the secret to financial stability is having the right investment ideas to enable you earn more money, I don’t know who agrees with me but either way I recommend either real estate or bitcoin and stocks.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@nyreggie That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@bjoe631 You allow people to trade for you?
Wow I can't believe you guys are discussing about Gary Mason Brooks , I once met him at a conference in California 2019, just before the pandemic. I can testify that he’s very good in trading..Highly recommended.
Jay is so much fun to listen to. Great video.
Spoken from years and years of experience! Unlike some of these self-appointed young podcasters who profess to have all the answers. Thanks, Jay!
Mr. Jay Leno was, is and always will be an American icon. How does he stay so humble and accessible to the common man?
Odds are was allowed to be himself from birth.
Because he's as common as anyone else. Christ man, strip away material things and the "fame" aura and see the person for what they are
Thanks for all you do for the automotive hobby Mr Leno, and just being a nice & decent guy.
I really hope his collection and his garage as a whole will continue after he passes. I may not have loved all of his late night shows, but I truly enjoyed all of his videos and shows related to his collection and garage. And he has many nuggets of information about the “first” cars and trucks.
The taxes when it runs through the estate will kill it.
@@ericeandco - He can think about placing the collection in a trust - which can be set up as perpetual... Not an estate planner, but from what I do know - there are a few different ways for the collection to survive and stay in tact.
Can also set up a foundation and 'donate' the collection
- basically move the collection to a 'perpetually living' legal entity -- removes it from his estate
Jay’s my favorite hoarder of all….well done sir…well done indeed! 👍
"I never ment to have a collection, I just didn't sell anything!"
A refreshing thing about Leno is he is not promoting himself. He has done a small part to preserve a portion of automotive history.
I have always liked Jay Leno's broad minded philosophical view of cars. Doesn't come across as opinionated.
I grew up in Indiana in the 80s. My neighbor had an electric car. This red triangle thing. He plugged it in his garage. I saw him drive it around for almost a decade until I graduated and moved away. When they started talking about sustainable energy in the 90s, I thought it sounded pretty retro.
Jay is a true car enthusiast Not many left like him.
Jay , Keep making your Own Products..! THANK YOU...
GOD BLESS.
One of the few decent entertainers. As a car guy, I think Jay is the man ! 🚗
Thanks again for supporting Kansas Mr. Leno.
The college in McPherson is only as good as it is because of people like you that invest into these kid’s future, hopes, and dreams. Much respect for your generosity, dedication, and realization that many antique cars and trucks
would end up as scrap without your influence.
Come on over to “The Garage” in Salina next time you’re around. The downtown car museum. I’ll take you to Hickory Hut for lunch.
Didn't know Jay Leno had car products, but I'm definitely gonna buy one. The world needs more people like Jay ❤️
I just bought a bunch of Jay's products for my new car. They really do work well! I am no car detailing expert, but it is the best stuff I have used!
@@islygon do anything you can get better at, and like Jay says, you can claim you're a car specialist or mechanic even if you only fix limited things. My
Parents came from 5000 miles away as most families past generations and were happy to move if it includes a better quality job, ..
..
but also mom's farm families type practices always motivated us to work on more things than you're use to.
Parents or good mentors always make a new person (apprentice learning) clean and disassemble if needed, carefully!
Carefully clean anything and rebuild it easier, and this actually makes a habit to feel knowing products, everything (almost) if it's made u some people I a factory you're mind set realizes the patience to research the item and then...
Related to other learning how things work 😅
Good luck 👍
@@islygon I agree. His products really work well. I like most of them better than maguairs. Really accessible too; they're at Walmart.
The leather cleaner is amazing! I use it on everything and it literally melts away dirt without hurting any of the cars materials. I'm on my 4 bottle already! Haha
It's a rebranded product, nothing new!
I'm always so impressed with Jay's knowledge & humbleness, he's truly a car guy.
I'm impressed that Leno also has historical knowledge of automotive development and how it has evolved over the decades.
Hard to put into words how to describe this man
But simply put I'd just say a genuinely nice guy
I wish Jay a speedy recovery from his injury.
Pras Subramanian does his homework before his interviews. Excellent interview.
Jay Leno is a true Icon
Always enjoyable listening to Jay.
Thoroughly enjoyed this episode. Thanks for the video!
It is really refreshing to hear positive remarks about Elon, GM, and the American Spirit 😀
What a great guy to interview. A humble, nice guy, and a straight shooter.
Jay Leno is great, He is doing a better job uniting America through comedy and passion for cars than many politicians.
I would say "most" not just many politicians.
One of the best comedians ever ! Quick and clean humor .
Always a pleasure to listen to Jay! Thanks for sharing
Jay Leno = Great man.
What a staggering collection Jay has. Been amazing to see some of the models he has acquired over the years. I also grossly underestimated how sought after some of these are. 😁
Leno is a true down to earth guy. Anyone with his amount of money that can see the perspective of a middle class person and the cost of an EV feeling nearly free compared to $6/gallon gas, is truly in touch despite his wealth
Gas was 2.30 a gallon before Jays "car guy" buddy Joe Biden got in office and started reducing oil production.
Seeing the perspective and living it are two different stories.
@@EBthere up front I gotta say I’m not a Biden fan. I’m also wondering where you got the idea Biden cut oil production? I’m looking at the numbers now and scratching my head. The production was cut under Trump when Covid hit. And productions been climbing back to peak ever since. I don’t blame trump for the cut in production either. That’s just a natural market adjustment to a serious drop in demand. Unless I’m missing something…
@@joe1071 LOL. Where I got the idea? That's funny and it's very easy to find. You just keep scratching your head.
@@EBthere you obviously don’t know how to read. I already stated I looked it up and you’re flat wrong. It declined under trump and has been increasing under Biden. Get your eyes checked
Classic cars are selling because what's being offered today don't even approach stylish. Jay preserves beauty as well as history.
Jay is becoming a CLASSIC. Knowledgeable, likable, authoritative…
And proven restorable for frontal work😳
I like Jay's experiences and it opens new doors of thinking for me. I wish the interviewer would have gone over the prices for future EVs with Jay.
wow Jay bought a new shirt
Probably a restoration.
No more Jean shirt huh lol
Jay Leno is Jay Leno. He is balanced, on camera anyway, in his attitude about American ingenuity, and how people are creative. He is not publicly political, he only has one shirt and one pair of pants, and does what he wants. People want to be in his circle of influence and I enjoy watching when I get a chance.
I'll always lend Leno an ear.
To be honest I stopped watching The Tonight Show because, well...Jay wasn't Johnny Carson. Never liked him much on the show unless he had a guest on I was interested in seeing. But over the years I've come to realize he's not the same personna IRL. He's an incredibly down-to-earth guy that I could listen to all day - and I've come to admire him for his vast knowledge and expertise on all things automotive. I've watched almost all his Garage episodes over the years. Great interview Pras...touched on some excellent and timely topics.
Jay is unique because he's humble and has such a mellow sense of humor that always manages to get a laugh out of me. I can't remember any time where I have ever sensed any arrogance from him. Wonderful guy.
Terrific show. I've only seen about 3 of his show and I enjoyed them.
Really like Jay. So laid back and just a all round cool dude....Thank you Jay for sharing...
Jay is awesome!!! And his car products are great that’s all I use now
One of my favorite Elon Quotes "There is a huge nuclear reactor that comes out every morning in the sky (sun) so we might as well use the energy."
And then for 12 hours of the day it is useless
@@michaelh370 So what? For all those hours, you're not shoveling millions of tons of dirty fossil fuels into thermal plants.
@@michaelh370 Battery Wall my friend. Get with the times ;)
@@michaelh370 Nice profile photo by the way ;)
One of my favorite Elon Quotes "sorry I didn't mean to sexually assault you, here have a pony."
I could Listen to Jay all day long
Masterpiece Presentation Jay Leno unlimited intimate Knowledge of the USA industry eleven out of ten.
Jay is such a fascinating person!
His car detailer is amazing! Been buying it for a while!
Hello Jay, it's great to see you up and about. Best wishes.
Have to say... Leno is a national treasure. Positive and practical.
Great interview! Jay is always great entertainment.
My dad had a 1963 4 door Corvair. I remember when we took it on vacation he was always making sure the fan belt was working properly. We drove four thousand miles on that vacation.
Growing up in Michigan, our class took a field trip through the Corvair plant in Willow Run near Detroit. I was blown away by the racks and racks of parts. The cars were beautiful!
Nice to see a celeb who seems like a regular nice person, kinda modest & real, not fake.
The Hummer EV isn't lighter. At 9000 lbs, it's almost a half ton heavier than the H1 was.
Imagine that 9000 pounds . Should not be allowed on the road.
@@recyclespinning9839 why not?
@Kaufman Entertainment if I have to explain it to you, you won't get it.
The Hummer EV is stupidity on wheels. It’s terrible engineering - heavy because of the battery weight needed to push a brick through the air at 70mph.
@@recyclespinning9839
Its not uncommon to see trucks that weigh 90,000lb and my old Class C motorhome was 11,000lb empty, so why you think 9,000 is somehow too much makes no sense.
Hi Jay great to see you found time to mention President Trump in this interview and how sad it was that Trump wanted a merit based immigration system but President Biden fixed all that sadness away for you that may destroy many American lives but that sadness gone
Never knew that Leno identifies as a Lib until now.
Still have respect for him as a car guy but that's it.
@@bmwpete65s55 Multi-millionaire liberal California resident. Nice guy but some of his liberal views seem typical pie in the sky ideas. JMO Money and affording life's necessities are not even a thought in his mind.
Jay Leno is one of few I look up to.
Jay knocked it out of the park with Elon Musk
I found it difficult to hear what the interviewer was saying some of the time. Jay was load and clear.
Jay's car care products work really well. They're very reasonably priced and not hard to get hold of. There's my plug, send me a check Jay! Thanks!
Nice interview, thank you
My Dad had alot of corvairs, in the kitchen. I remember being fascinated by how the belt went around the head. I grew up in the front seat sitting with my feet up on the seat and my head next to the heater. We lived in Evergreen, Colorado. Great memories. Thank you Jay for keeping afew of them. Hats off to you my friend, a true car guy !!!
Lots of fun, as always. My first car was a used Corvair in the late 60’s, always enjoy hearing hearing Jay talk about them. And too I’ve been a car nut my whole life, mostly restoring British roadsters. One or two quick points that were glossed over. Fixing up an $800 car and selling it for $1200 is a 50% profit. That’s always a good move, but even moreso when you allow for the difference in monetary value at the time. That $400 profit in the 60’s would be a $4000 profit today.
It is only a 50 percent profit if your time and materials are free.
As a teenager my friend had an early Corvair. We drove that thing to death and occasionally pushed it to it's handling limit. Two years in a row we ended up on the same lawn and got away with it.. Would not have tolerated that from my own kids. We had a blast!
The more I listen to Jay the more I like him.
Jay Leno is institution, and we always get bit shy seeing people going old. I appreciate him a lot and see we need to listen a bit.
In 1983, a student at Gig Harbor High bought a Corvair. I got to see it up close and it was very interesting. I never saw that student again and he went into the Air-force. Another student brought there parents 1953 Corvette and it was a big deal when he brought it to school. I liked the wire mesh that covered the head lights.
I vividly remember my Dad saying only a wussy would buy a truck with power steering and an automatic transmission. My current truck has so many bells and whistles I couldn't begin to name them all.
Jay Leno is the E.F. Hutton of the classic car world. You want to hear what he has to say. Makes a lot of sense and good observations from a lifetime of experience owning and maintaining 180 automobiles and 160 motorcycles that are driven or ridden.
Just remember it's all entertainment whether you got the money to buy or you can't afford it. More poignantly put they are "passionate purchases" and I would add for the rich.
Jay has a nice collection saving our history 👍👍
Great interview!! Well done.
Jay is extremely knowledgeable about personal transportation. Not so much about public policy.
Great interview!
The interviewer seemed nervous but Jay was strong.
Agreed. My ‘66 Monza Corvair convertible is one of the better-looking cars from that era.
Enjoyed the interview, thanx from 🇨🇦
Jay makes it real!
How can someone so intelligent believe that immigrants were banned?
Jay is definitely NOT biting the hand that feeds him, but he does manage to eke out some accolades for Elon
and EVs in general! he played it very well...
Great vid!!
Wonderful interview Pras. Thanks for this. 👍
I was born and raised in McPherson KS and know all about that great auto restoration program at our college. Cool to hear Jay talk about it.
I like that Jay Leno is old but he’s still smart and loves new better technology like EVs.
If evs are better why does the government have to force people to buy them, hmmmm
Old??? You must be a teenager. 😉
That sounds agist to me. 😀
where can I get the Jay Leno detailing products in Canada?
I like listening to Jay talk ...... and this is the first time ever in a shirt, not denim-jeans-shirt
With 18 cars / trucks in my collection (so far) I am catching up to you Jay ! See you on Tik Tok. My favorite vehicles are those that have a STORY behind them. My dream muscle car is the 1970 Dodge Daytona aka 1970-Plymouth Roadrunner with the 440 six pack since their story is a Daytona Track Speed of 210+ mph in the late 60's early 70's which shocked the racing world! . Since they are cost prohibitive to most collectors, I purchased the 440 motor w 6 pack and now, am looking for the shell, and plan a full restoration.
Dodge Daytonas were 1969 models, not 1970.
Jay hit on something really important that most manufacturers have forgotten or ignored and it is killing the personal transportation industry. Find ways to make things cost less and make them affordable to sell a ton of them. The pursuit of luxury is making most things too expensive.
Hyundai had a good formula for making affordable cars 20 years ago. Keep it simple, build it right. I sold them back in those years; you could get a very nice Elantra for $12K. Today, with all the electronics even an Accent can cost $20K after dealer markup. So they will no longer make it for '23. The Elantra now costs as much as a Civic, $22-30K. But watch that your engine does not catch fire and incinerate the car. Around Northern Westchester, most new vehicles are huge pickup trucks or Jeeps, cost be damned, $100 fill up no problem. EVs start at $55K, get on the waiting list. But keep in mind the Li-ion battery technology will soon be obsolete.
@@mossmiller "Hyundai" and "build it right" don't belong in the same sentence.
@@mossmiller The Chevrolet Bolt EV is $26,600, the Nissan Leaf is $27,000.
There's no cleaner or more efficient way of propelling a car then renewable electricity → battery → motor, and most of the hyped replacements for lithium-ion batteries, none of which are being manufactured in enough volume to make automotive EV packs, are variations on lithium battery chemistry.
@@jasonkillsformomy You are so right. I rented a Sonata a few years ago, and when I came out the next morning the front bumper cover had popped off. But my '06 Sonata still going strong at 135,000 miles, on its third owner.
@Jo Mma every recent study concludes an EV powered by the current grid mix is better for the environment than a gasser over the life of a car. Go read the ICCT study and the one from researchers at the University of Exeter, Cambridge, and Nijmeggen. The only argument is whether the EV repays the environmental cost of its heavy recyclable battery after 7,500, 15,000, or 30 000 miles. It's intuitively obvious when you realize a 35 mpg gasser burns through 10 tons of fossil fuel over 120,000 miles.
Since the majority of new generation is wind and solar, because they're cheap and quick, every EV on the road will only get cleaner in the future.
Restoring my first car:. Shoebox, 4 door 1950 Ford Custom. So much fun
Jay is a very nice guy we were friends for 12 years, went to his home in Beverly Hills on tower rd. Dinner with him and Mavis, we went motorcycle ridding many times, hung out with him in his garage in Burbank, when I visited him in Cal. very sorry about his recent burn accident, hope he recovers, and keeps the chin. 😃
The biggest issue with collecting cars is the storage and keeping financially stable so you're not selling them cheap regardless of it being cars, toys or anything else they'll always be worth bigger money years later
EVs have no voice, no thunder
They have no soul.
