America's Most Radical Pickup Truck - Jay Leno’s Garage

We've gotta turn Jay loose by himself in the garage more often, because the comedy in this episode is top-notch. “Signed by Chef Boyardee”...”looking like some deposed dictator's idiot son”... “when you have an accident, you're the first one on the scene”...knockout stuff.

I personally find Jay filming by himself and talking everything more personal and authentic it's done so so good! This should be a permanent change as Jay is a natural with the camera and everything i really enjoyed this.

Can we all take a minute to appreciate the fact that when everyone else was stuck at home, taking time off and otherwise not working... Jay picks up a camera and carries on being Jay. This man is a legend.

When Jay says "People aren't so bright when it comes to cars, they believe whatever you tell them" that applies to allot more then just cars.

No script, no fakery, no film crew. Just Jay Leno being Jay Leno. Love it

When Jay passes away he won’t be remembered for late night etc. He’ll be remembered for the Jay Leno Museum of Automotive History. The premier museum of auto history in the world. Nothing will be close.

I worked at a local Chevy dealer from 65 through 68 who had a Corvair 95 pickup as a shop truck. I drove it a lot during those years and thought that it was a hoot to drive. Loved the presentation!

In my hometown, the appliance dealer had one. They loved it! They could load and unload a refrigerator or a washer or dryer or large console TV (remember that was 1961) easily. Low entry height. If you drive it up to a curb, the ramp was nearly flat! I don’t know now, but they might still be using it.

Jay Leno on simpler times: "When you get in an accident in one of these things you are simply dead". Gold.

No damn pandemic can stop the man who loves all vehicles! 💯🇺🇸👏🏼🏍

Jay Leno is truly a national treasure, He emits nothing but respect and kindness to his audiences while speaking whether he is doing Youtube videos, or when he did the Jay Leno shows. My wife and I were, and are true fans of his. Jay people like you are what really makes America great! I just gave my granddaughter a 1974 Fiat 1/9 that I was going to restore but it just wasn't in the cards. It runs and drives but needs some TLC. I told her I would help her as much as I can but I have cancer. I told her to ask her uncle to help her and trade labor with him. I told her it needs to be a weekend driving car as it has no airbags or safety equipment, I had to say that as my daughter wasn't real happy that I gave her a sports car to race around in. Keep on Truckin Jay, you are an inspiration to many;) Randy Watson Portland OR.

Jay seems like the type of guy you can talk to about engineering, or the weather, with the same drive. He can drive a Lamborghini, or a Corvair, and talk equally as good about one as the other.

Love these. I started out with JLG episodes when I was sitting with my father in his last years. Being a WW2 vet with Dementia, he couldn't follow plots of movies and other TV shows where what happened 5 minutes ago mattered but I soon found that he enjoyed each and every episode because none of that mattered. He could just enjoy being a "car guy" again and added much great commentary on the topic in front of him at the moment. Since he passed in 2017, I still return to these for a little "grounding" of my base. Thanks for that Jay.

12:50 "I cannot remember that, Sorry about that" Jay being Jay, a complete Gentleman. Respect.

Yes the mighty Corvair.. : ) My dad had like 3 different ones. (car version). One day were were headed to the junkyard for parts in one and he floored it and at top speed the rear axle broke and tire hit the fender.. He didn't panic and slam on the brakes, we just coasted to a stop.. We pulled out the toolbox and walked the rest of the way to the junkyard... Couple hours we later headed back to the car with another axle, threw on the spare, and off we went. Those were the good old days! : ) I used to love those trips to the junkyard, nothing like the discoveries made there!

This brought back a lot of good memories for me. Between 1960 to about 1975, my family had a total of 9 Corvairs. I learned to drive in my mom's 1965 Monza convertible. She loved that car and so did I. Grandpop banged the front fenders of his into the garage door frame every other month. My drunken aunt totaled two of them and survived to drink yet another day. No one in my family died driving a Corvair.

Jay: “Buy for $600, + restore for $50k, sell for $12.5k” 😂🤣

"If there's a crash, you're first on the scene". Another J L classic line.😂😂👍

I never watched Jay Leno on TV but I wish I had. He seems like a really nice person and someone you'd like to know. Fame and fortune certainly hasn't gone to his head like so many of the Hollywood types. I will definitely be looking more into his garage and amazing career.

Thanks Jay, you're a real friend. Really enjoy your company. Started off with my foster dad's 55 Chevy Bel Air with the best engine I've ever had, the 265, 3 speed on the column with a 2 speed rear-end which gave me 28 to 30 MPG. But I needed a van to take me to Mexico and Guatemala for my import biz and bought a 1962 Corvair Van. Designed a bed for a 6 foot person, a little closet with book-self and water storage, and bolted a large footlocker under the bed to act as a storage trunk. The van took me to Central America & back many times, put over 550,000 miles, changed oil every 3,000 miles, as well as some fan belts along with a couple head jobs. She gave me the same mileage as the Chevy, 28 to 30 mpg. Lost my storage space in Cal (I live in Hawaii) so I had to sell it not knowing what a great mistake that was. On my next trip I bought a 1964 VW van with a 1600 engine and drove it some 400,000 miles over the years, replaced 4 new engines at the Queretaro VW factory, always adjusting valves, changing oil, and driving in a gutless, dangerous tin-can. What a piece of crap. I tried many times to find another Corvair van, but thanks to Ralph Nader, no one wanted to let go of their Corvair van that was in any descent shape. How the hell did they take the Corvair out of circulation and let the VW tin can on the road??? Thank you for sharing your Corvair with us. Aloha
