He put a lot of money and a great portion of his life into a passion for everybody else who might not be able to enjoy that kind of lifestyle, but have the same enthusiasm. He’s dedicated, guaranteed. “Some men just want to watch the world learn”

I saw him walking around after the main presentation, and he was just exactly like you would hope - easy going, approachable, and as soon as I brought up vintage cars my Dad had owned, his eyes lit up! He’s a car guy that supports his habit with comedy ❤ He couldn’t have been nicer.

    Jay showed one of his Duesenbergs, and it had a very rudimentary anti-lock braking system. A knob could set the brakes for dry, rain, snow, or ice. It wasn't until the 1980s and an on-board computer linked to a sensor, before a driver had brakes that could deal with various road conditions.

Continued to tour regularly and, yes, we saw him live. Has stated repeatedly that he banked all his Tonight Show salary, choosing to live off doing standup and, later, his car collector biz.

    It's not just cars, motorcycles, steam engines, etc.. some of the first Farm-Tractors were powered by steam engines. They used 12ga. Shotgun shells to start the engine. My grandfather(on my mothers side) was at fair in his home state of Kansas. There were some antique tractors. It was the last day of the fair and we're starting to pack it up. The owner of the tractors had not arrived yet. The men there couldn't figure it out and my grandpa hollered "I'll give you a hand, if you like." "This is the first model I had when I put the mules out to pasture." They said yes, are you sure you know what your doing? He grinned(loading up his pipe, then lighting it and a couple of puffs.). You got your boiler lit? Yes. It had a screw-latch cap where the shell was inserted. The cap had a spring-loaded firing-pin built into the cap(I can't remember if it was a rope pull and let it go or kind of looked like the floor dimmer switch on the old cars to change the headlights but, it was spring loaded like your sisters old pogo-stick). There was the box w/ shells and boom! Pa-choo, pa-choo, pa-choo, tap.......... Where do you want it boys? He showed them how to operate the thing and to kill it when they were done. My bad, I tend to run-on when I get to telling a story.
