    Does Jay Leno use 2-ply toilet paper, or does he import high resolution 4-ply toilet paper from Japan?

    Is his toaster a two slotter or a four slotter? Also, is it a high resolution toaster?

    Is his oven gas, or electric? Is his range gas or electric?

    Why doesn't Jay have a new microwave oven made by Ferrari? Is the the crappy customer service or the long wait to get one? Is Jay unhappy with the three year belt service of his Ferrari's magnetron and that's maybe why he doesn't own one?

    And why does Karim visit this website after having been banned 34019312238483498304934802398420389472039857 times?

    Simple. Tom Cruise has one and everyone knows that Jay Leno hates Tom Cruise. Yes, I just started a celebrity feud from Fchat.

    From what I've heard him say on his website during the McLaren F1 drive, the whole ideology behind the Veyron kind of goes against his philosophy of what a car should be. He prefers cars designed by engineers and then fitted with bodies by artists, as opposed to the other way around, which he accuses the Veyron of. He also states that it is too heavy, making the point that the McLaren F1 weighs a little more than half as much. Jay test drove one and probably didn't like how refined and non-involving it was. After all, the Veyron was designed to be a 250 mph supercar you could easily use as a daily driver. Jay likes challenging cars. You'll be able to find cars in his stable that go against what I just listed as his preferences, but then remember, if he did buy a Veyron it would be a $1.5 million car that went against many of his perferences. At the end of the day, $1.5 million is still a hell of a lot of money, even for Jay Leno. You have to be Larry Ellison (Oracle founder, Veyron owner) rich before $1.5 million starts to feel like pocket change.

    I hope that answers your question. Keep your nose clean on Fchat, man. Don't be so dang confrontational and people won't attack you.

    One-quarter of all F1s are in the United States. The Tonight Show host Jay Leno has chassis No. 15, but says he is not tempted to trade his in for the more historic chassis No. 65.

    "I like the one I have," says Leno. "It is arguably the greatest car of all time. It does everything better, faster than any other car from 1900 to 2000. Nothing touches it. Even if the Bugatti Veyron ends up being faster, there is no comparison. The McLaren is a dancer; the Veyron a girl with big boobs."

    It says Jay Leno right in the title at the start of the thread. I don't think John Lennon is giving interviews...
    Good English by the writer compared to my German, which I only use for Auto Motor und Sport...

    Jay's cars are substantial historic and unique and he passionately works on them himself and with his team

    the Bug is none of the above.

    There are a couple of old sayings that go here

    Just because he CAN doesn't mean he should (he can afford it but for the price of one bug he can have 20 other cars)

    A rich man is usually rich because he does not spend money if he does not have to.

    In one of my Coffee Table books, Leno waxes on about the McLaren F1 and explains why, at least at the time, he would not consider a Veyron.

    He basically does not care for all the excesses in weight, power (to overcome the weight), and lack of purity in the Veyron.

    I happen to agree. First, I find it hideous, sort of like a two-tone, ponderous sea lamprey. Second, it is all about vulgar excess for its own sake in terms of power, completely unusable top speed to brag about, and it is so heavy that it is appalling.

    Leno can afford anything and everything he wants in the car world, and I applaud him for his decision to stick with cars that have art and soul, of which the Veyron is a black hole.

    jay has said that he likes to work on his cars himself..he is a tinkerer.
    I believe he won't buy a Veyron because he can't even change the oil in it!

    Jay buys cars that he likes.

    Same thing with 100% of car collectors. Just because you can buy every car doesn't mean you do.

    Jay doesn't nor does his staff do the work on the F1 - it's left to factory people.

    He has a McLaren F1. Even a cheap one is 3 million plus a nice example is 4m+. Leno has the means to do it if he wanted.
