Does Jay Leno drive a Crossfire???
He does have a HUGE car collection...
So I'm sitting at a stoplight getting ready to turn left in one of the more upscale areas of town, and this black crossfire pulls up behind me. I start thinking about how all the crossfire guys think their cars are better than RX-8. So I take the turn as the light turns green watching him to see if he wants to play around. He takes the open middle lane and blasts past me. I'm thinking "wow that was pretty fast for a crappy crossfire." So I give in and follow him up to the next light, and I see the license plate reads "LENO." The windows are tinted dark as hell, and the car was a convertible, and there's one thing for sure, it wasn't stock. So I took off driving pretty spiritedly, and Mr. Leno decided to play tag with me for a few miles of deserted street. I kept trying to see inside his car to see if it was actually Jay Leno, but I couldn't tell. He definitely had a female in the passenger seat though. I have heard that he was to be in town this month for a few days because of the new Wynn Casino and maybe to air the Tonight Show for a couple of nights...
Anyways Jay, if that was you, nice car, it sounds great and definitely isn't stock. Why you were driving a crossifre, I don't know...

Rep Power: 319 seeing what Leno does to cars, he probably put a Viper motor in it and made it look dead stock... Anyone else see that 700hp Tornado he did up, it's got a new V8 with twin turbos and converted to RWD.
Nice story, wish I could race Leno.

Rep Power: 0 "The lithium powered high performance "R-Car" was slightly modified for Jay Leno. Additional features include a three-point racing harness as well as minor adjustments to the braking system and structure to allow an even higher top speed."

Rep Power: 0 Man, Leno has more cars than I have fingers, toes and cells in my body, his collection is mammoth. If he chose a bloody Crossfire to have the "LENO" license plate out of all the cars in his collection, well, that'd just be the saddest thing in the whole bloody world.

Rep Power: 381 or does he have the exclusive rights to "LENO" as a license plate and could have as many as he wants for a certain price, this'll make sure that all his cars are LENO.
That is not an ordinary rabbit tis the most foul cruel beast

Rep Power: 319 I'm not sue about in your area, but people around here that have that many cars, generally get dealer plates, then they just have you plate they stick on what ever car they want to drive. They generally don't plate every single car.

None the less... that would be cool if you raced Jay.
You didn't notice the chin? I mean, you would probably see that hanging out of the car somewhere...

Rep Power: 0 would be cool but the truth is, you'll probably never know. Leno's a stupid ***** anyway so if I had the chance I probably would have rammed the side of the car. In fact, there ya go, ram his car then he has to get out to swap insurance with you. You could become a Leno stalker.
