    All the respect and appreciation in the world for Jay Leno - he has every excuse in the world right now to not make new videos, yet here's Jay with his phone doing all of the recording himself, for a video that he's in no way obligated to make under the current circumstances.
    It's one thing to have a passion for these cars - it's another thing entirely to have a passion for SHARING these cars, and Jay going above and beyond here for us with no obligation to do so, well, this is just another example of how extraordinary Jay is as a human being.
    As always, thank you for your generosity Jay, it's appreciated beyond words!

    This format is so much better than before. A car guy wants to see what you’re talking about when you’re talking about it just like you show.

    Jay, I love your obvious familiarity with the cars. You're reciting the history and pointing out the features of the car from memory, in a completely normal and natural way. When you reach for a latch, you're not fumbling or having to ask the guy who actually knows the car where the latch is, your movement is as natural as it would be for any of us reaching for the hood latch on our own cars in our own garage. It really is Jay Leno's Garage, not a museum. Thank you for sharing it all with us.

    And this ain't no patty-pat from me to help you get through the COVID rough spot because this is *not* a rough spot. It's new and it is good.
    You can run this format forever and have an occasional guest, the reverse of the old format and it will suit us just fine. Your appreciation and love of cars shows through with everything you present, from Doble to Corvette to Panhard to Aston-Martin. Thanks for being you, man. This is great.

I stopped (in uniform) by a classic car dealer one afternoon and in the garage out back was a gorgeous red 365GTB4 Ferrari Daytona waiting for an oil change. The owner saw my Navy uniform and said "go ahead and sit in it if you want", and then wandered off, leaving me alone to sit and daydream in his priceless Ferrari. What a gentleman.

    As a lover of the Automobile, I count myself as lucky to have you amongst our kind, albeit, one with a little more play money than most of us. Your generosity with your time and knowledge, your passion, these are things that most do not give freely and yet, you always seem to be grateful just to have our audience.
    But what I appreciate the most about you is your steadfastness to share the kinds of treasures that most lock away. So many collectors leave their cars behind closed doors, leaving the rest of us to just imagine what they are like. You choose to drive cars, some, worth more than many of us will ever earn. And not to brag, but because you care that we might otherwise never have a chance to see them. And you have just as much fun driving and sharing something with a much more modest budget.
    All of which is driven (no pun intended), by your deep passion of helping others join in experiencing the fruits of your labors. A car collection that is the envy of so many, partly, because it is used to bring joy to others.
    Thank you for your time, your generosity, and for giving us a experience that inspires and enlightens.

When he talks about the engineering and mechanics, it reminds us of how people applied themselves to reach a form of greatness.

    Jay, thank you for another instructive & enjoyable video. Also, to be historically accurate, Ettore Bugatti founded his company in 1909 in Molsheim, Alsace, which at the time was under German control. In 1919 Alsace came under French control. In 1940 it again came under German control. In 1945 it again came under French control. Hence, depending on the year, Bugatti autos were built both in France & Germany. I don't know if that makes a difference in design or collector value but it is a historical curiosity.

    I had the joy to spend some time in Paris over the last Christmas and New Years period. Wandering around one evening and I see an old Bugatti pull up and a guy get a childs car capsule out of it with small child inside.
    Research shows it was a T49 Labourdette from 1932, chassis 49466.
    28th of December 2019 and the owner was "dailying" a car built in 1932 and using it to transport a baby. It brought a real smile to this "car guys" face.
