    This is way off topic, but what the hey? My neighbor has a husky that my daughter pet sits frequently with the most beatiful set of sky blue eyes ever to grace an animal. Any guesses what the name is of my neighbor’s husky and who he is named after????

    No, actually the husky is named Sinatra, after Frank Sinatra “Ole Blue Eyes” himself.

    The dash and steering wheel kit is like 1500 itself, now trying to find the correct wheels for it is another thing!

    Actually the pulsing light would be illegal in many states nowa days. At least in Michigan I think its against the law to have highlight lights underneath the car or other distracting “nonessentials”. As cool as they are they are distracting at night.

    Jay Leno has the mother of all car collections and I see him on car show’s all the time showing off what he has.
    But he also has off the wall stuff, like the mouth watering Ford Festiva SHOGUN, its a Ford Festiva with a SHO engine mounted in the trunk, he has 2! http://www.supercars.net/garages/Dodge%20Spirit%20RT/1v2.html
    He also has a bunch of old steamers, hot rods, and from what I understand everything in his collection is drivable and he does drive them once in awhile.

    He was on HOME IMPROVEMENT one time with his car collection. He even made a cameo as a janitor cleaning the cars :D

    That picture is really small, is anyone else having this problem?

    The thing about Jay Leno which is really nice is that he doesn’t just collect cars – he works on them and knows all about them too. :salut:
