Jay Leno's Eco Jet Project

Did any of you guys catch this on the Speed Channel last night? It was the show where GM builds the jet turbine eco friendly jet car for Jay Leno.

This thing is unreal.

I didn't see that. Then again, any car Jay Leno wants, Jay Leno gets. It would be awsome to have a garage like his.

I saw the show you're talking about, too bad Jay doesn't have a regular show on Speed. I think he gets to do things with cars that the rest of us can only dream about. Perhaps now that his regular show on NBC has been canceled, he'll have more time for his cars... and Jay Leno's garage. (are you listening Speed channel?)

I heard in the news this week that Jay Leno was going back to late nights... Was this only a rumor? Maybe Jay Leno will become like Brett Favre.

I heard this too. He really should do his own car show on Speed how awesome would that be.

That would be very cool. He might actually do a show that wasn't a big advertisment for new aftermarket automotive parts. It seems everything else on Speed TV is either an advertisment show or Barrett Jackson.

Amen to that! As much as I enjoy watching these shows for the occasional cool car or restoration tip, you know it's nothing but one big ad for the show's sponsors. How else do they get the parts for free? At least Jay Leno has enough resources to focus on the cars.

That 1000HP Toranado was a sick car too. I love when he goes "This ain't your grandmas Toranado"

Leno's awesome. I'd love to take a tour through his place.

I've never watched Jay Leno, he on TV or something?

He has no kids, easy to have a ton of cars that way but they won't take care of you when you get old or give you grandchildren.

Will GM build me a car?

So true I have two small kids my daughter is 5 and my son is 6. I could be financing a lambo right now for the cost of school.....oh well, money can't buy the fun and memories you have with them.
