This dude's probably worth hundreds of millions but he drives on the street and greets random people back when they say hi. Jay is such a class act.

If it weren't for you Jay, most of us would never see these incredible pieces of engineering/art. Thank you so much for your dedication to restoring and protecting these truly wonderful pieces of the automotive history. Top man, top job. John.

I love the fact Jay drives the cars and enjoys them as they were intended.

[raydunakin]

I love that you actually drive these cars, and they aren't just "stuffed and mounted".

Thanks Mr Leno for holding the fort during these trying times with the pandemic edition.
We understand it must have felt lonely filming these by yourself, and we are grateful for being able to ride shotgun with you weekly while in lockdown.
But foremost we are grateful you are OK.

Dear Mr. Jay, listening to your videos is like having a conversation with my best friend. Thank you for everything

[robinkoenig]

Such a gorgeous automobile and the fact the body has been recreated from scratch is amazing. There are still true craftsman left in America! Jay, your passion for automobiles is second to none. Your ability to convey your knowledge intertwined with humor is a rare talent. You are talking to a camera yet you make people feel like you are conversing directly with them. You connect.

I was restoring classic cars in my early days as a mechanic.
You have NO IDEA how much work went into a car like this one. Amazing, incredible, beautiful, awesome. Jay and his team are the best.

...I'll be in my bunk... (Thank you, Jay. That was Something Wonderful.)

[CarterAutoRestyling]

Kinetic art is right, that car is a masterpiece! We are very fortunate to have people like Jay and the craftsmen he hires to ressurect and preserve these wonderful machines.

[kendemers]

"What's up Jay?" "How ya doing my friend?" That's what I admire about Jay, he likes people and cars.

[thevoxofreason]

It's nice to see that the crew's back... but Jay, you did a fantastic job with what you had to work with.
That said...I love to see the pre-war stuff. Nice.

"This thing can do well into the 120s." (looks directly into the camera)

That was, as I believe the young persons say nowadays, quite the flex, old chap. :)

Always good to see a Duesenberg on a Monday.

[HHH-yero]

Welcome back to the crew!!! We missed you.

[mfc]

Majestic does not adequately describe this very beautiful piece of machinery.

[jamesengland]

I'm glad the crew can get back to something resembling work.

[scottnyc]

Love the lines and body styling on this beautiful automobile.

[MyUsernameIsAlsoBort]

So happy to finally get footage of the car starting! Usually we just cut from inside the garage straight to it running on the road, but I wanna hear it start up. Please do that more often! :)
