Jay Leno has a bit more going for him than just his late night comedy act; he has a passion for cars and motorcycles and his show Jay Leno’s Garage.
Each episode starts with a brief yet detailed bio of the featured automobile, mostly antiques and remodels; then they’re taken out on the open road for a quick spin by Leno himself.
Jay Leno’s Garage isn’t your ordinary car show either. It’s full of wild and unexpected twists and turns as you’ll see in some of the episodes we’ve highlighted below!
