Got to meet Leno at a local car meet and the first thing he said to me was, "I like these better than the new ones don't you?" Of course I agreed, but looking back I wish I would have been quicker on my toes and responded with "Can I have your spot then?"

What a great guy and his stand up is hilarious which I didn't expect. I have always been a fan just because of the type of person he is. But never thought he was that funny on the Tonight Show, but he certainly is on stage.

NorthwoodGT............Does that diecast GT look familiar? :)
 
Got a chance to meet him at his garage with DBK and Camilo a few years back. He was hilarious.
 
Cool.
 
Seems like a genuine guy...

'Agree completely. 'Met him at SEMA 4-5(?) years ago.
 
I ran into him at SEMA about a month after he got his GT. I was wearing my GT build team shirt. When he saw that, he asked if I was on the program. I told him that I was, and that I had driven his car at MPG before it was delivered to him. He gave me a giant bear hug and thanked me. We chatted for 10 minutes or so, then had my wife take this Picture. A few years later, I had the chance to have him autograph it for me. Really great guy.

Thanks for posting. Jay absolutely loves his GT and I'm sure he will be keeping both.
 
When he's messing with his cars I seldom see him without one of those blue denim shirts on.

...........I'm a t-shirt guy myself........
 
Leno has good taste. I agree with him 100%.
 
Jay must have a closet full of jeans and denim shirts... If he is not in a suit or sport coat... that is all he wears... jeans and a denim shirt... with the sleeves rolled up. Met him at the Quail Concours in Carmel, CA a year or so ago... great guy.

ps... I'll bet he will have the new GT in Leno's Garage when they hit the streets... he's a car guy!
