    Man, I have grown to appreciate Jay so much. He doesn't need the money at all, every piece of content he drops is because HE wanted to drop it. This channel may cover 1/3rd of the maintenance cost of his car collection and storage, if that. It's definitely not a huge money maker. But hell, it may employ a few people, and it gives him the excuse to see and talk about cars, so why wouldn't he?
    This man is unapologetically himself, and I am glad we have him!
    EDIT: DROP!

      There's no way this channel pays for a 1/3 of his maintenance costs... he has a bunch of full time high-skill, high-pay employees, including specialist mechanics and fabricators, not to mention the costs of producing the videos. No, he does it entirely for the love of his hobby and, possibly, to stay in the public consciousness.

      Probably, he's the most down-to-earth billionaire on the whole planet.
      He could have the biggest mega-yacht, wear the most expensive suits and eat the latest and fanciest food. The best Caviar, the most expensive champagne - you get the idea.
      So much people winning the lottery go crazy and either burn their fortune - or die. As they say: No matter how much money one wins - some people stay poor forever.
      But he has zero interest in most fancy things. He gives a crap on what others think about him. He wears his old wrinkled denims and enjoys a nice pizza out of the box.
      Reminds me of the story when he asked the Lamborghini salesmen back then how to get out of a Countach when it's flipped on the roof. Obviously, you can't open the doors.
      *In Italian accent* "You open glovebox - there is little hammer and you knock out windscreen". Jay: "Are you crazy? A windscreen is 5000$!! I rather wait for the tow truck!!
      Albeit a long time ago - even back then he surely could buy one every month easily if he wanted to.
      He's just a blessing for all of us car and bike enthusiasts. And he enjoys sharing his (and other's) toys with us.

    The interior of this car reminds me of the F1. Three seats. Interesting way to drive it.

    I love the McLaren car with a middle seat. This is the identity of McLaren because it represents Formula One for public roads
