Default So i was driving on the 101 today....

and have noticed that the traffic in the right lane is is moving about 50 mph, so when i started passing, i have noticed that someone is driving a very old car from like early 1900's.... And thought to myself: "who in the hell would be crazy enough to take it on the freeway?".... And the driver of that thing turned out to be Jay Leno... I was like wtf, then honked couple of times and gave him thumbs up... LOL, and then after that almost ran a 96-97 cobra... that ****** was bad, doing some crazy **** on the freeway...

I love seeing Leno on a weekly basis. He's a stand up guy at the car shows.

I used to see Jay Leno at Autobooks in Burbank all the time. One time I saw him, he was driving his Stanley Steamer.
