You would if you could, I know I would. They can, so they do; and boy, do they. I’m talking about celebrities and their cars. With money to burn, and the desperate need to flaunt their good fortune, celebrities have the cars and trucks that you and I can only dream about. From rapper to rocker, to sports heroes and Hollywood’s elite, they all say who they are through their cars.There are celebrities that do buy and know what they drive. In addition to Leno, I think of fellow comedians Jerry Seinfeld and David Letterman, along with guitarist Jeff Beck and the late actor Paul Newman. These are (were) genuine car people who live and breathe cars. While they buy exotic because they can, they buy the car, not the image. Jay Leno has been into cars since his days growing up in Andover, MA. His collection now includes some 200 different cars of all kinds, shapes and sizes, many stored in his private climate controlled southern California garage. Jay does not collect these cars to show them off as a museum, but he tinkers with them, along with his staff of professional mechanics. The cars don’t sit around and collect dust; he drives them for the fun of driving.
