Jay Leno's garage..

I don't know why I looked this up - but I did.. This is everything that sits in Jay Leno's garage.... And just in case you don't know what a Duesenburg is.. They are cars that when the 2nd most expensive car in the world was $3,400, it was $34,000.

Translate that $34000 into todays value, it's over $1,500,000 at sticker. Not to mention they are some of the rarest cars ever made.. Each on taylor made to fit the body of the buyer. You had to be some sort of royalty to buy one.. even if you had the money they wouldn't sell you one without your name being a very important one.

As much as I love the Veyron, I don't think it's the most real-world-friendly supercar. I'd rather have like an 575M or a 911 Turbo.

I've seen his cars on quite a few of the discovery channel/TLC specials about cars. He's on a ton of "Rides" episodes as well.

I envy him so much!

But the thing is with a Bugatti Veyron you don't have to worry about it being real world friendly, it is what it is - a masterpiece. I personally would like to have an old jag.

If I had to choose...

"Real" Supercar - Bugatti Veyron or Koenigsegg CCR
Supercar - Ferrari F430 or Cadillac Sixteen (I don't know if it was ever produced though)
Luxury Supercar - Bentley Continental GT... definately.


I'm sure by the end of the week I will have changed my preferences (Koenigsegg excluded)

The sad thing is most of them are probably just sitting there gathering dust, slowly withering away. Nobody can drive around that many cars, NOBODY.

Disagree. Leno has full-time mechanics to ensure every vehicle is in tip-top shape.
