Giving Jay his due

I know a lot of people love Top Gear, and it is a fabulous show, but I have really enjoyed Jay Leno's Garage - it's a series of webisodes where Jay gives you the finer points about his mega-car collection all with an enthusiast's heart and soul. What's nice is the lack of Top Gear "if it's not German we don't like it" attitude and vocabulary that make you run to google search like a scared child. Each car in his collection has a special place, and you can tell he is really excited to show you the car. My favorite is the Chevy Z06 w/ crate engine- cheapest car in his collection, but he is right on with the commentary..."People I know with Ferrari's and Lamborghini's have 7k to 8k miles, but you ask a guy with a Corvette and he has 80k, 90k miles."

Here's another one of Jay's finer moments....
