Jay Leno rules, he's one of the few celebrities that is a true car nut. He doesn't buy them as a "look what I've got" symbol.
Some highlights of the article:
And the thing with the McLaren F1 is, there are only 64 of them. It's like a pair of Gucci shoes that you wear only for special occasions. I hesitate to speed shift it because it has a Kevlar clutch and if it breaks, I've got to send it to England for repairs. So I drive my Corvette much, much harder than I do the F1--because it's a Chevy and I can fix it with a hammer.
I remember a guy jumping on the brakes coming into the pits, and fire was coming out between the wheel wells. I looked in and those discs were bright orange. I said, "I think we've got a little fire goin' here." One of the German engineers said, "Dat is fine. Do not vorry."
That's something else that drives me nuts. With the Enzo, you have to buy the Ferrari oil at 60 bucks a quart. I'm sorry. It's oil. The SLR uses Mobil 1 at $4.99 a quart. With this class of car, you'd think, it's the principle, not the money. Nope, it's the money.
Here is another article with Jay Leno, everyone should read it. He's a certified car nut!
