Default Jay Leno's Garage

I was lucky enought to get an invation to go through Jay Leno's Garage. The deal is you can't tell anyone where it is or take pictures. My head camera was full in a matter of moments. The Tank Car is huge, his Turbine car is absolutly beautiful. You could eat off the floor anywhere in the shop. The cars and the bikes seem to go on for ever. Each car had a story and a history that made each one special. Jay works 24-7 and earns his his money. I have a lot of respect for what he has accomplished. He has the same model of the 53' Buick that he slept in when he first came to CA.

I didn't know the location was a secret. Guess I can't tell then that it's on Damon Way in Burbank.....about the 3000 block.....

I think it's cause they want to keep the curious traffic to a minimum, specially being on a deadend road

I was there about 2 1/2 hours. There were no Crossfires, Ferrari's or Porsches. 3 Lambo's. The tank car is alwsome and the turbine car is beautiful. It seem like there were more motorcycles than cars by number. The art work on the walls is also something to see. The man works for what he has.

Actually, it's the exact same car, but it's a 1955 model, not a '53. It has been restomodded with billet wheels and a crate engine, but it's the same car.
