    Thanks, Jay, for presenting a shade tree mechanic with respect. This guy was down-to-earth and modest about having built a giant slayer. You tried pretty hard to get him to brag but he didn't bite. You can tell he respects his competition. Cool guy. Cool car.

      @Lorneland62 4 роки тому +3

      It’s because he’s a real car guy. Anybody whose criteria for a build being “worthy” is money spent is missing what the love of these machines is all about. Imho, if anything the diy build is more impressive then the money is no object one.

    This is a prime example as to why I love Jay Leno. It can be extremely difficult to present something like this when the person you're interviewing isn't delivering (for whatever reason). Jay is a MASTER at keeping away awkward silence and forcing the conversation to continue flowing.

      I didn't think the bug owner was too awkward or nervous. Much less than i would prob be. But you're right, Leno's a pro. I sometimes think he gets a bit exasperated with these big, slick corporate geezers he has on. But he started out messing with his own cars and i think he really liked this family man (dude, in my book) as do i.

    This thing makes me think of a story I was told as a kid in the late 90's about a guy here in Sweden that had a VW bug that looked harmless and blew the doors and pegs off both cars and bikes, I've tried to digg up info on that thing but not found anything, seem the guy and the car came and went and most likely never showed up in magazines or anything... I think this was around Stockholm. Love these bugs, these and any 911 really speaks to me and always has! :) Awesome build!

He's a refreshing combination of budget, money in the right places, and thinking outside the box to build something HE enjoys, not just unlimited budget built for the most views.

      @Beer_Dad1975 8 років тому

      The vast majority (something like 80%) of Jews in Germany when Hitler came to power were born in Germany, the rest were mostly Polish - a combined total of around half a million - by the start of the war there were less than 200,000, the rest having emigrated to avoid persecution - most of the remaining population, German and Polish alike were then killed in ghettos & concentration camps. Some "special" Jews (generally those with contacts or special skills) were allowed a higher standard of living, but in the end most of them were murdered too. If you were married to a non-jew, or could show you had mixed ancestry, you may have been spared. It is estimated that only 20,000-40,000 Jewish Nationals who remained in Germany after 1943 survived. Hitler most definitely did not discriminate between German National Jews and immigrant Jews, he hated them both equally. I guess your neighbor either got lucky or had more to his story.

I once had a Mazda pickup w a 383 stroker conversion & Jay actually pulled up alongside me smiled ! and said. Oh thats no Japanese motor is it? I asked him if he was driving a Dusenburg..he looked pleasantly surprized that a 30 year old knew what car he was driving..just good ol fashioned mutal respect , way to go guys!

Love the fact that the owner is still willing to enjoy his hobby while still raising and providing for a family. God bless his wife for allowing it as well. I have met so many guys that after marrage their life is tottaly centered on the family and secondly his wife will not allow the extra activity that may have attracted her to him in the first place!

      First, he'd have to ask Bugatti to build a W12, I think. Perhaps a W16 would be a better starting point. ;)

    • @billyp.7889

      It is the combination of the "horse hair" seat cushions, headliner insulation and battery acid smell, coming from under the back seat. :)

      Don't forget the smell of the vinyl too, especially after it bakes in the sun for a while.

    • @billyp.7889
      @billyp.7889 8 років тому

      +MillionthUsername I think the acrid smell of battery acid and Unburnt fuel in the exhaust and the burning oil fumes, added to make up the air cooled be era car smells.
