Default saw Jay Leno on the freeway again

He was driving his new MacLaren. Couldnt get real decent picture off, this is what I get using my crappy camera (DSLR doesnt get left in my car) while driving in moving traffic.

Over the years I've seen Leno out driving a few of his vast and various cars. I couldn't believe it but I remember him driving a 70's 80's Renault Group 5 turbo on the freeway some years ago.

CA law says that a brand new car (no plates) must have a license plate affixed to it no later than 6 months after purchase.

So, celebs just buy new cars every 6 months.
