Trying to imagine living in that area of California and seeing these cars casually roll by every so often and just shrugging it off like " Ohhh, there's Jay again "
That exact thing happened to me several years ago. I was driving near the Burbank airport ( which is where his garage is ), and pulled up alongside someone driving an open cockpit steam-powered car. The driver was wearing a leather helmet and goggles and i was trying to get a picture and realized "oh that's Jay Leno!" lo!
@@andrewrobert5019 xD
That'd be nice to see, except for the "living in California" part. Ugh....for Many reasons
@@guytansbariva2295 Better there then Texas.
@@PapaBear816 No, if you're around Austin you're ok. But come on, what is going on with California these days?
I last visited in 2017 and it's changed, for the worse. Not the gas prices, the homeless/vagrants/beggars. Geez....it's disgusting. I hate to see a child out on the street. Where are the social services????
This is why the Conservatives make fun of Cali, they exist in this states, but not like this
The thing that's so cool about Jay Leno is not just that he's got the most amazing car collection, it's that he can find something to appreciate about virtually any car. Doesn't matter if it's a super-rare Duesenberg or a 1971 Toyota Celica or a Hemi-powered Dodge Coronet or some fantastic custom like this.
Jay is so impressive; really knows everything about the huge variety of stuff, in his vast collection!
This is a Hot Rod travelling at 30 mph. It just doesn't seem right to go so slow in this thing but I'm really happy to see this 1800 ci creation actually running and driving so smoothly! What an incredible a feat of engineering. Jay brings out the kid in all of us!.
Jay when I was in the Marine Corps I worked on the M60 tanks, they had four oil coolers two for the engine and two for the transmission 25 gallons of oil for the engine and 25 gallons for the transmission
To be invited to Jay Leno's garage, let alone drive one of his vehicles ...
i love jay lenno behind the scenes video's hes such a chill person, really someone to look up to in many ways
Ok, but seriously, I found this way more cool than I thought I would. I'm just impressed by how NICE it is, and how well everything came together to create an actually GOOD car. Excellent work, @ everyone who put this thing together. :D
I miss that show every sunday morning
Still on every Saturday morning on Motor Trend at 8:30 ET!
Unbelievable, Jay's living the life, work hard, save your money! Make your passion your job, never work another day! Gravy!
Even though old footage.......... Jay and Dennis having a blast as always.........how cool would that be to hang out with Jay driving the tank car.........👍👊
I made some poor life choices, that's for damn sure!
This footage has to be nearly 20 years old lol such a cool hot rod though!
Shot on DV, 4:3 Standard Def - 1080p would look *wrong* on this thing. I'm watching it in colour, the colours of a beautiful California day, but I'm seeing it in flickery black and white :-)
“recorded in 2003” so yeah lol
I feel old. Time goes so fast
Used to visit Michaels Leeds garage in Santa Cruz. Believe I saw the original tank engine during one visit many years ago. Another visit Michael was working on converting an old fire engine into a hot rod. It's a fun garage to visit. Met Grubbs one visit too, he was working on another art project, laser cutting glass.
Jay got his swagger back & lost the wrinkles, powerful vehicle indeed
This was shot back in 2003
Very clever working out the heating and cooling like that.
I see Per Blixt's fuel injected 300D sitting unrestored in the background, that is so cool! They must have filmed this shortly after it arrived at the shop
2003 is when this was filmed. Tank car has turbos on it now. They (gale banks) added them in 2009 along with fuel injection.
The tires on the rear look like super single semi truck tires. 455 50 r 22.5
Very cool ride.
He says they are garbage truck tires...
the hot rod is out of this world omg
I wonder if Mr. Gage is the one who reply's to the UA-cam comments; He is the kindest, most down to Earth and the most intelligent car enthusiast on UA-cam!
Thanks! And yup, it’s me on the replies.
For anyone NOT watching this on a home system with a subwoofer... my god, are you missing out. That engine!
That engine is music to my ears!!
Jay never did a video of this incredible machine, which makes your video the definitive work of record.
500 years from now automotive historians will be watching this trying to comprehend how the hell this car came to be.
Awesome. Don’t remember much of this from JLG videos with Dennis visiting. Suspect this is mostly unused raw video. Great to get to see.
Who would have thought I'd have seen the Monopoly car in real life.
That's what it looks like! I was trying to think of what it reminded me of lol
It's a really beautiful and big car. cool!
Dennis's giddy up go-impression when that bitchin motor starts is priceless!
The most impressive thing in this video: That exquisite mustache.
Jay looks like he just woke up he’s still funny even half asleep 😴🥱😝😂😂🤣👍🏻✨
I would love to visit Jays garage
Tanks for Posting!
Ar ar
Really a beautiful vehicle!
I remember seeing this amazing build at a show in portland oregon in the early 2000's those carbs are ginormous.
Well it seems to be registered in Oregon. Good chance it was built in the Beaver state.
Incroyable tankcar, merci Jay, merci dennis. 😁
Like a nickle plated Batmobile 🦇
MYCLASSIC
It's September 2022 and this is an awesome car. Thanks
Car show cinematography sure has come a looooong way since this was shot
Yeah, 20 years makes a big difference!
Great segment Dennis! Love every visit with Jay.
Me too!
Nightmare inducing! Wow!
👍👍👍👍
i love that rig.
Perfect grocery getter! Love it!
Every thing you do Jay is very interesting . I hope every thing is well for you Sir.
It's so surprisingly quiet and docile on the road.
Jay is the kind of car guy that everyone should be "you wanna give it a go " he'll yea I do.
I was gonna say.... this must be a really old video because it has turbos on it now.... just saw this was recorded in 2003. Lol.
Craziest car i have ever seen on jays garage
This is priceless!!! Randy is so awesome! Thanks Jay! I can't believe Dennis Gage made you wear a matching jacket. 😅❤
WOW just awesome :) I like ....
So FREAKIN cool!!
when you start it, it sounds like its ready to kill. which is fitting considering its got the heart of a warrior so to speak. lol
15:50 What a monster
16:20 Looks like a tractor in hot rod style from afar.
nice i loved it
excellent
It's like driving a semi tractor without a trailer.
Yes it is!
I have to ask how many craftsman work for you in all your restoration shops. Would love to see videos of the Leno shops in a days working.
I never managed to unlock that beast on GranTurismo4
Its a blast. I would run over all the hondas and toyotas with it
And the amazing thing is he hasn’t spent any of his tonight show money it’s all from his comedy tour.
That's true.
HEMI ! and aircooled like the 917
Beast of a car
The camber on the front wheels looks like its positive, Was this intentional or just the video messing with me? Love your stuff with jay, always cool to see what he has done!
Probably the wide angle lens.
It is so absurd, that it becomes hilarious!
grandpa munster would be proud heh :)
An air cooled Hemi tank engine it's a beautiful beast.
ROFL Jay Leno out here cutting regular people off on the highway in this contraption.
Jay talks about Arnold Schwarzenegger wanting this car.
I think he should gift it too him.
I love how one the crew cars one of those saturns that not one survives today. Remember my mom had one and always thought it ran funny. She then got a 2004 Saturn Vue that had a Honda engine a AWD. That thing was actually pretty powerful, I guess only a couple years Honda and Saturn had the deal
I miss the "will it do a burnout?" part of the show.
These will be cars for tnr feature. They so cool
Hey Mister, does it have a Hemi, it certainly does.😁👍👍
21:18 Dennis - Sht its way up there!!
I know it is now called the Tank Car because the engine came out of a M47 Patton tank, but to me this will always be the Blastolene Special as I came to know it when it was built more than 20 years ago.
So this is the "full-length" version?
Que motor forte
All those Randy Grubb cars are so cool.
I've wanted to buy his book but I'm kind of cheap... Still, is nice to see videos of them.
Grubb is a bit of a blabber mouth, but do not be cheap
3500$ for a rebuilt diesel engine of a industrial size and vintage? who knew 2003 collecting could be so easy
👍
I'd like to see a new video of the car now that it has twin turbos.
It's like driving your car and the car in front of you!
Lenos driving school, this joke is out of his element
Jay suddenly looks a lot younger? Is this old footage? By the way: you must be living a dream, I admire your work and love your style, you make us dream.
You can tell by the aspect ratio being square this is old footage hope that helps!
Thanks! This was shot back in 2003
@@MyClassicCarTV awesome! I love this channel so much
I hope Jay uses Leaded Fuel.
I bet you could run that green waste management garbage truck off the road with that car
Very Nice !!! ..... Colors ???
Jay wear safety specks when driving, a bee will knock your eye out.
Lucky they had a camera car following behind since I didn't see any brake lights working
IT'S HAS MORE SQ/FOOTAGE THAN WHAT I LIVE IN .
When will my office be built?
So the thing is registered in Oregon. Does that mean the original build was done there or easier to license than in CA?
Originally built by the Blastolene Brothers in OR.
Rediculous ride. Gotta appreciate Jays's love of cars. His knowledge is profound in the specs and history. Who would of thought this 2003 vid that gas prices ($1.65) would be $4 more today.
MR. MyClassicCarTV Thank you so much !
80 miles with 35 gallons. Imagine how much gas the army needed to win the Second World War.
Your cameraman needs a camera with a gimble! Other than that! Excellent!
Jay, who styled your hair for this video? I have always loved how casual you can be. Amazing car!
Wow, both have some color in their hair...
What's funny is he was scared by a cobra.
I love it, we're getting even older if ya can fking believe it lmno

Why does it have an Oregon plate?
Because it was originally built primarily by Randy Grubb of the Blastolene Brothers who lives in Grants Pass, OR.
@@MyClassicCarTV Thanks, I thought maybe DMV wouldn't allow it to be registered in California.
17:45 is that a supra?!?!?!?
