Love it when Jay hosts the Ring Brothers. Just a couple of Wisconsin knuckleheads and a Massachusetts car nut hanging out. Nobody trying to out-cool anyone, nobody trying to impress anyone with suspect facts. Just a bunch of guys having a good time. And the fact that these guys produce such high quality one-offs just makes it perfect.

I like the fact that the Ring Brothers' cars are about pushing the imagination and having fun with a project-- they're not involved in playing the tedious and simple-minded, dumb status game that I've never been able to understand, leaves me cold. Jay too, with his fascinating car collection chosen out of a genuine interest and enthusiasm, and including some wonderful oddball mechanical creations that are more of an adventure than a form of transport. :0)
