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.

September 25, 2005 at 1:12 am #19025AnonymousInactiveActually 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.
September 25, 2005 at 4:06 pm #19026AnonymousInactiveJay 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.September 25, 2005 at 4:25 pm #19027AnonymousInactiveHe was on HOME IMPROVEMENT one time with his car collection. He even made a cameo as a janitor cleaning the cars

October 4, 2005 at 3:40 am #19029GaribaldiKeymasterThat 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:
