Personally, I don’t know Brad. Never met the guy. Even though I’ve don’t know this person, I can’t help but feel his excitement when he crosses the line in this vid.

Oh to be Jay Leno. This guy really has it all figured out. His car collection is a point of envy for basically every car guy out there, so naturally, GM doesn’t even bother selling him cars; they just bring them to his door step. This time the Z/28 has found it’s way into Leno’s […] More »
