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.

[@AndrewMalkin]

I love how Jay is so lighthearted about everything. Glad to see him back in action!

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.

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.

[@MichaelandCathy1999]

When Jay has tossed his earthly coil, God forbid it’s in my lifetime, there will be so much history gone from our lives, dealing with cars, engines, engineering, manufacturing, factories, management, race cars, muscle cars, steamers, turbines, hemi’s, etc, ad nauseum. Jay should be installed, while he’s with us, into a Historical Car Museum. He is a one of a kind. 🇨🇦👍

[@ph044930]

Great to see Jay healthy and joking about and giving us a restoration tour of his shop!!

[@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!

[@arth3102]

"Any time you don't get decapitated, boy that's good luck". I'm 60 years old and I can't tell you how many times I've fallen down and my sense of humor has lifted me back up. It could always be worse. Thank you Jay, keep on keeping on. 👍

[@marklubecke4854]

Sense of humor, intact. Age, decapitation, mechanical damage? Keep on rocking Jay!

[@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.

[@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.

[@seanworkman431]

I liked the Volvo wagon in the background, he doesn't discriminate.

[@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. The world needs men like Jay, a real human being in a world of fakes. Much love Jay, you have shown others the right way ! 😊

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!!!

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.

Sorry you got hurt Mr. Leno, and here's to a full recovery for you.

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!

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.

[@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.

How awesome would it be to work as a mechanic in a garage where the owner had the means and patience to do jobs the right way, researching the original designs, waiting for original parts, and assembling it all with the goal of having it be the best it could be?

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.

We have been blessed to have Jay around with all he's done. I remember him replacing Johnny and I didn't know of him, but what a characterhe was 5 nights a week.. Your a class act Mr Leno, it's just a bonus you share our passion for automotive.
