Speaking of which, he frequently shows up at car shows in the L.A. area. He'll typically drive into the middle of whatever is going on in an impossibly expensive car, mill around for about 15 minutes, zero in on one car he's curious about, chat with the owner for a while, then leave. Most recently, he arrived at a show I attended in a green Duesenberg convertible. He must have hit a puddle, as there was a splash of dirt under the fenders. I millled around the car, and when he returned to it, I commented that I'd never seen a spot of dirt on a Duesenberg. His reply was "This one's the beater. I've got the nice ones at home!"

I use a polymer detail/sealer spray that I buy by the gallon. It's great for keeping the bikes and cars clean. I only do a bucket wash after something like a long drive where the car accumulates a lot of bugs and dirt.

lol - he can say almost anything about his stuff and it would be difficult to dispute if you are a commoner.

For a really wealthy guy, Leno has remained surprisingly well-grounded. He really appreciates the "little guys" who accomplish much with very little, and he's a promoter of small, US-based specialty companies. He recently hosted a [url=https://youtu.be/390Ax0mFZ-4]teenager with a '66 Mustang, a [url=https://youtu.be/mXjLHYAYiyg]Cuban immigrant with a '57 Chevy step van, and a [url=https://youtu.be/mXjLHYAYiyg]guy with a totally sick '72 240Z custom roadster.

Interesting - the van.

Hey Stichill: The last two URLs point to the same step van.
