    Watching Jay interact with those young people at the Eco-marathon makes me like him all the more. What a great guy, so natural, unpretentious and encouraging

    Jay Leno and Francis Ford Coppola together, such a perfect combination. Loved every bit of it.

    Superb show! I've always liked Leno's way of presenting interesting stuff, he's laid back, good humoured and he obviously really does know his stuff, not a faker, also gives credit where its due. Leno's Garage is my favourite TH-cam channel by far.

    For me, the Best This about this cable show, "Jay Leno's Garage", is not just all the cool car stuff.
    it's Jay Leno. Whatever he ever does, I'll watch. He is like fresh air in a world of failed funny. Adding his love for cars makes him my favorite cool dude on the planet. Thank You, Jay Leno.

  • @PuppyPetite

    Around 25 years ago I was living in Ypsilanti Michigan and was so lucky to see one on the road. I just about wrapped my little Toyota wagon round a large tree. There's a Tucker Museum there Ypsilanti Michigan.

      Not now with the reintroduction (hopefully temporary) of electric cars. It probably used NiCad batteries. If the drivetrain was removed, you know how Jay is putting a Nissan Leaf motor in an Edwardian era Baker Electric, the EV1 could be "retromodded" the same way.

    Well only 51 Tucker cars built. There are two of them sitting end to end along route 50
    in south western Pennsylvania near Noblestown road. That's like 4 percent of the entire production. They have an aircooled airplane engine behind the back seat. I think they are
    six cylinder and small displacement cylinders. One of them is sort of bronze colored
    and the other one a faded green and both are absolutely filthy. Franklin engines are still available new and occasionally used in homebuilt airplanes.

    An acquaintance of mine, Mr. Cofer, had a Tucker that was used in the Movie -- a mint green -- and he was Very Upset because the car got a paint-chip in the drivers door! It was a 'survivor' in Perfect Condition! Kept in a climate-controlled storage, and extremely well cared for... which is WHY the paint-chip 'mattered' so much.
    Mr. Cofer has passed away, but I am pretty sure his sons still have the car.
    BTW -- they Live in TUCKER Georgia!! A suburb on the east side of Atlanta...

    They actually shot out not 1 but both front tyres of De Gaulle´s car, the driver stayed cool, the hydropneumatic levelled out the suspension and they managed to escape at high speed and even made it to their original destination - an airfield miles away. De Gaulle commented on the incident, "This one was close."

      GM said that all of the EV1'S where either destroyed or donated to schools or museums on the impression that they wouldn't run because they had no engine, except for one that was in a museum.

    • @scootergeorge9576

      I would guess that it runs. Copala said that when he got word that GM would destroy all of the EV1 electric vehicles, he hid his. Presumably before they could do anything.
      The Chrysler turbine has one of only 2 or 3 operable turbine engines in existence. Engines found in museums are lacking vital internal parts.

      what bothers me about the destroying of the ev1's is that once you have bought it its yours. How can GM destroy it its your property to do with whatever you whant, why did Coppola need to hide his?

    wow Leno took the words rite out of my mouth! a phrase i too had been telling people, Its all about torque in drag racing not neccesarily Hp. Hp is to long distance runners as Torque is to sprinters. Torque is the pushing force that propels you. horsepower dictates the top speed possible. normally torque is the offshoot of massive hp with a combustion engine, the more hp the more tq or the stronge the combustion the more hp and tq, hence the use of nitros, that said the reason why torque is so important is because its pushing power. power push the weight and thru air resistance.

    • @OffTheBeatenPath_
      @OffTheBeatenPath_ 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1
