Anyone Watch Jay Leno's Garage?

[ViperMan]

I caught a few episodes when it was a web-series, but obviously it caught enough attention for television (or maybe Leno's departure clause with NBC finally let him appear on TV again...)  Anyways, I find it very entertaining, if not too brief - I feel like they could spend a lot more time on the various cars/projects, but obviously it's only an hour-long program.

I believe it's on CNBC, if you want to catch/record it.  This week's episode featured Richard & Kyle Petty, and saw Jay in the Mello Yellow car with Kyle, riding around the track alongside Richard in a Superbird.  Jay himself said it was a bucket-list moment.

Think I've seen them all and it is one our our favorite shows.  He does a great job and is a true car guy.

Just finished watching a couple of episodes again.
Good variety of vehicles and people.

Jay does such a fine job on the show- my Dad would have loved it!  My Dad was a car guy & a fan of Jay Leno's! One of my favorite segments is 'Assess & Caress with Donald Osborne'- even the title makes me laugh!

Please don't remind me of that episode, I'm still not over the Hemi Under Glass accident. 

[ViperMan]

Yeah I saw that Hemi crash - what, a year ago?  At least everyone walked away safe and sound!

Ash even likes watching the show - she saw me watching the episode with the Petty's and kinda had this hurt look on her face that I had started it without her.  So I started it over from the beginning.

Finally a car show where nobody is screaming at anyone or acting like an idiot. Not a bad show.

I like that not only does he have an amazing collection but he actually has an in-depth knowledge of the cars AND he drives them!

Amen to that - the "reality show" concept never needed to leak into the automotive world.

I enjoyed the one with Richard Carpenter and his Cuda. You could tell he knew his stuff and was a real down to earth car guy.

He does seem to know his stuff.  I just wonder how much he actually gets dirty working on his own cars.  I know he has a team of mechanics who are responsible for keeping everything working.

I heard a rumor once that he basically tells his staff what he wants to drive the next day and they make sure it's ready to roll by morning.

Kinda like winning the lotto!

I've watched quite a few car shows, but I hadn't watched Jay Lenos Garage. I enjoyed Carpenters Cuda, thanks for sharing! I agree that it's nice to see a no bs show.

[Glow Worm]

I like the show, but I can't keep track of when or what it will be on.

[J-Code Jeni]

We just watched a recent episode, on hand-built cars, last night and spoiler alert- Donald Osborne is THAT good!   
Hint: don't miss the segment where Jay blindfolds a guest and makes them guess what kind of car they're in.
