Jay Leno is an American stand up comedian and television host and is quite popular in United States. He is also the owner of an enormous car collection. He owns cars from every walk of life and era and some that are very rare. His collection includes such rarities as Lamborghini Countach, an Owens Magnetic, a Bentley Speed Six, and a Shelby Mustang 350 GT. He also owns a rare EcoJet which is a truly unique car of which only one model was ever manufactured. Its conception sketch was drawn on a napkin by its designers. You can see more pictures after the jump.
Its not an issue of compensating for a small willy, Jay has been a car enthusiast his entire life and if you ever take the time to read one of his articles in any of the auto magazines he writes for you'd realize that he is very passionate about cars. His involvement goes beyond collecting and goes deep into repair and restoration of his collection through much of his own work and working with others. Many pieces in his collection are extremely rare and some are one of a kinds including one that he designed himself while working with General Motors design staff.
No body should have that much money,unless your changing the world for the good of humanity.

So it's up to you to tell other people how much money they can have? Look how many people have benefited from Jay circulating millions of dollars into the economy. But tell us, what should be the limit you would impose on another's earnings, why you would stop at that amount, and how would that amount be anything other than arbitrary according to your subjective opinion? A nation that has wealthy people raises EVERYONE'S standard of living. The only alternative to free-market capitalism is socialism which has failed everywhere it's been tried. Socialism is parasitic - it depends on capitalism to survive, and when it finally bleeds capitalism dry then socialism has nothing left to feed on, and starves to death.

Labels with each picture, identifying the car would have been nice.
Entry 15, Dart Voltron displayed his level of intelligence. I'm surprised he was able to spell the four letter word correctly.

Quote #15 shows a lot of stupidity and ignorance. Probably isn't even aware of what an idiot looks like until they look into a mirror. Do we all agree?

Beautiful Collection of Cars and Motorcycles, Fuck all those cheap ass shots from the Jealous ones, but that's Hollywood for you I can see your very proud of your collection and you should be. Wish I could afford the Gas to come up there and your Toy's in person. Thank you for Displaying them so we all can see them. Ron Stevens A.K.A Tramp
Of course we are all envious,but is greed funny? He deserves mocking, because mocking is his trade. He is not funny, he is just a joke reader and tool of the liberal media establishment.
Hey all...truth is I've known Jay for over 20 years and he is a very funny guy. He is first and foremost a stand-up comedian...imagine he doesn't swear at all yet is still very funny. Remember this was long before the tonight show...actually he would fill in from time to time for Johnny Carson back then but nothing permanent.
I also agree with blogger 9 in that Jay is very passionate about these vehicles and the restoration/preservation process involved in them. Truth be known if I had his money I would be doing something very similar....in fact I do but just on a smaller scale.
So before you go dissing Jay just remember he didn't start with the tonight show and it has been a long road and an awful lot of hard work to get where he is now. Alot of the nay sayers here probably have no idea what hard work is unless you think the long wait at the government trough is work :)
These thoughts come to you from way up in western Canada....PEACE!!

I understand it is a way to build your investments and not be taxed on it but how much money does a person really need and you can't take it with you when you die so it would be nice to see some of these rich people help the poor and stop and like some of the others I to don't find him funny, he has some great guests on the show though. You will be judged by the Lord of your life here. Being gready is not a good quality.

What makes you assume he does not help the needy? By the way its spelled greedy. Being judgemental without the facts is not a good quality either. Nor is jealousy

I love cars and Jay has the cream. But if I had been as close to Jane Fonda as he has I would still have my foot up her exhaust pipe. She is a traitor to this country and hated by an entire generation of service men. May she soon rot in Hell!!

I have watched his interviews and visits with Dennis Gage on MyClassic Car on SPEED Channel. They drive some of Jay's cars and trucks.
Captions for each pic would go a long way to making them more interesting, otherwise a wonderful exhibition.

I wrote a letter to Jay about how I solved a problem on my Vincent motorcycle (their clutch was 'different'). A couple of weeks later he called me to thank me for taking the time to write to him.

I live in the San Fernando Valley and have seen Jay a number of times over the years. He has always been a gentleman, saying hello to strangers. He even stopped while touring some old bombers at Burbank airport, and thanked and shook my father-in-law's hand for his service during WWII. By the way, Jay also drives these cars. I have seen him in his Packard convertible and Hudson Hornet...

Jay, I cut my teeth on an 812 Supercharged Cord. It kept me as poor as a church mouse for 5 years when I finally needed $800 to enrole in CU Boulder. (leaving the USAF after the Korean war). I still find them beautiful. Some people just don't understand those of us who love mechanical artistry.
