Jay, I wrote you a letter when I was a child. It was when your mother passed away. You wrote me back and I’ll never forget it. You’re a good man J and I’m glad to see that you’re doing OK. God bless!

[@aaron62877]

I met Mr. Leno at a car show when I was 17 (1994). I had just begun building my first Mustang. He talked with me for probably 20 minutes, he gave me some wisdom concerning my rebuild (basically talked me out of doing what a lot 17 year olds would do😂). 3 years later I was in a car show in Rhode Island with the finished car. Mr. Leno was there and he remembered talking with me previously and congratulated me on the build. Even made some comments about my previous plans. I was blown away that he remembered the car. He is a real person, nothing fake about him. Just genuine.

It's easy to forget how old he is. I know I will be truly hurt when he passes. I've been watching him my entire life. My step-dad and him watched him instead of Letterman just because he was a car guy. If I could take a trip anywhere in the world it would be to his garage. I think I would need a whole week to be truly satisfied .

Love the Restoration Blogs! You should do a few episodes just showing one of the team making a new steam valve, or whatever it is. Plenty of us would be interested to see a bit more in-depth rebuilding/ remanufacturing footage.

[@liveatvictoria6853]

Jay, you have the greatest sense of humour ever, I am very happy that you weren't hurt worse than you were. Nyself, I was hit riding my GSX-R1000R ride on the street in front of the emergency ward at the Jubilee hospital here in Victoria. Mear blocks from home. Anyway, broken collar bones are no fun!!! As you say though, men and over 40, we don't learn any new tricks do we. 😀 May you be well, and thank you so much for sharing your FANTASTIC automobile collection with all of us. There are no better collections in my mind, I especially love the 7.0 litre 1966 Ford, the one you got your Father to buy back when---year before I roamed the planet. Just a great car, as are all the others. Best to you ALL!!!

[@georgecostanza2695]

If I could have anything in that garage, it would be Jay Leno’s work ethic. He kept doing his weekend sets after getting half his face burned off, then got thrown off his bike couple months ago and he’s already back in the garage (with a still fractured collar bone) making videos for us. I wish you all the best Jay and can’t even put in words how incredibly much I admire you!

[@ChristopherHallett]

You can tell that both accidents have taken their toll on Jay, but I'm just glad he's recovering so well and right back at it!

[@chadderton]

Was going to say the same thing. Those accidents would affect anyone, let alone someone Jay's age. He seems pretty flat. Hope he's back to his usual energetic self soon.

[@Olds_Pwr]

Looked the opposite to me, just laughed it off.

[@joedaly2362]

Well, Chris, Jay may be feeling his meds in this video. Not that there is nothing wrong with that, it's just what I see. So, not knocking our friend. Jay gotta use up the 'script then get back to being free.

It's good to know that Jay doesn't hold a grudge against the White Steam Engine that blew up in his face, and he is restoring it. Again. Way to go Mr. Leno.

[@georgesenda1952]

So glad you are recovering. I miss your show and enjoy these videos. When that Cadillac was new I used to go and sit in the new Chevys at the Chevy dealer on the Boulevard of the Allies in Oakland, Pa. around the corner from our apartment & then go and have lunch at the S & B Deli next door & have a cheeseburger, fries and a Vernon's Ginger Ale. Both gone now but the dealership is so big with huge ramps for the cars that the city of Pittsburgh doesn't know HOW to repurpose the building. The Chevy dealer had dealerships all over the East Coast. Vernon's Ginger Ale is still around. I was 5 when that Caddy was new. I'm going to be 71 next month.

[@BobSakamoto]

When one of the craziest cars ever built and driven (Chrysler Turbine) sits in the background under a dust cover and is never mentioned, you realize how broad and deep Jay's collection is.

The coolest part about cars is the history involved and things that went on during those times … the icing on the cake is owning and driving a old car …. That’s all I want is a daily older truck or car… I was saving money to buy something which took me years to save but then I lost my son in a car accident he was 20 years old … the car or truck I wanted would of eventually went to him … it squashed my dreams

[@jlwilliams]

11:50 "The nice thing about hand-made stuff is that hands haven't changed." That, friends, is a great little nugget of Jay Leno wisdom!

[@jekutube9]

and the people still interested in working and learning with those hands, like the ones he featured in todays video!

Most car guys tend to think that the craft is dying and that nobody will ever be able to hand build components ever again. This is bullocks, there will always be passionate people able to learn it. It is the machine built components that we have to worry about, once the machine no longer exists it may become very hard indeed to reproduce the part.

[@hollynorris957]

I knew nothing about Jay on the Tonight Show, never into tv but after a lifetime in the family automotive business i saw him in his garage and was hooked. Then i found out how great a man he is by his relationship with his wife. Its so heart warming to see a man give his wife such respect and credit.

[@uh-1flyboy632]

I have my Dad's 1967 Cadillac deVille convertible since I was 12 years old. He owned an auto body shop and always had a Cadillac. He was going to junk it when he bought a 1972 Fleetwood Brougham. I told him that I wanted it and I am now 58 years old. The car has over 200,000 miles on it and cosmetically is a beauty. I had the original 429 engine rebuilt last year for a small fortune of $11,000 bucks. The rear main seal is leaking so much that I can't really drive the car . It needs a quart of oil every 100 miles or so. It's just a damned shame that this car is undriveable due to a $30 piece of rubber ! I have contacted a Cadillac restoration shop that I hope will be able to solve my problem. If not, I will have to source another 429 engine and start from scratch again. Glad to see Jay back at work and keeping these old cars running.

[@SerPurple51]

I enjoy the restoration blogs because I love seeing all of Jay's projects. Some of my older favorites are with Jimmy too, because he's such a funny character and a true craftsman.

Nevertheless, I have not set myself on fire or been closed led on a motorcycle so I guess I'm doing OK. I got rid of my last motorcycle about 10 years ago when I was just over 60. everybody applauded because they thought that I would maybe survive another 10 or 20 years which I have done.

Sorry you got hurt Mr. Leno, and here's to a full recovery for you. I turn 72 this month, and I got hurt just before Christmas when a car leaving a parking lot didn't see me riding my bicycle on the sidewalk and ran over me. Yes, like you said, good thing I wasn't an old guy or that could have been serious! My knees got twisted up in the bicycle frame before the car backed off of me, and both knees still hurt, but that's life. I restore old bicycles. They are easy and cheap compared to Duesenberg's!

[@ballsyrocker]

Geez, Jay. Be careful! You are an American icon of cars .I enjoy learning from you here and I could listen all day. Back in the 70s ,I had a '57 Chrysler Saratoga (push button shifting) (near mint) and a '62 Chrysler Imperial I drove back from California with my wife and brother (RIP Kevin) after my wife and I hitch hiked to southern Cal from Michigan City, Indiana with 50 dollars ,a suitcase, and duffel bag. We really met some decent people for rides all the way. We got the mint Imperial for only 250 dollars because the sellers wife needed diapers for their baby! When I drove back to LaPorte ,Indiana, the first gas station I hit was where the attendant offered me 600 dollars on the spot for the car Travelled across the Mojave with a cool black dude and a long haired friend of his in a '63 Chevy Impala with cold Coors beer in the back seat with us. The longest wait for a ride was at St. Louis until a van with long hairs picked us up and let us party with them before continuing West. Heh. Keep the channel going, I dig it! I am a young 73 today.

After all the years building and restoring cars and bikes I have had to come to grips with my age, so I built my last car and sold my last bike. Keep on riding and building for the rest of us geezers Jay.. I'll be watching. PS: I met you three times, once at the Rock Store and twice at the spring fling Chrysler show. I spotted your Stanly was on fire and my friend Jay ran under the car with a blanket to put it out.

Jay you still have your great sense of humor. It's a wonder you didn't turn out to be the headless horseman. Thank you for being such a trooper and continue to share a great show.

Really good to see Jay is going to be ok. He really is a national treasure to the hobby, not to mention quite philanthropic to many charities as well. On top of all that, by all accounts he's a nice guy to boot too; it'd be a bucket list thing for me to meet him one day. Love these resto blogs! - Ed on the Ridge

Great humility, humor, self deprecation, entertainment.

Jay, It is very kind of you to show us the projects you have going on and to see your car collection. Please be careful driving motorcycles. You had enough accidents this year.

A man of 72! Great way to get me to spit out coffee in a laugh. Jay, your a true American muscle man and I'm so glad your still pounding out the miles. Good health to you!

If Jay Leno liked firearms as much as he does cars, he'd have his own arsenal full of them!
