Although I'm much more a Letterman guy, I respect Jay Leno and his love for the automobile. As most of you probably already know, he's an avid car collector and has some pretty amazing examples in his collection. What's cool about Jay is that he drives most if not all of his cars -- he doesn't keep them in a museum, etc.

Last night, I happened to stumble on the following site: http://www.jaylenosgarage.com and found some of the videos to be very cool and fun to watch. Also, after watching Jay talk about his Ariel Atom, he mentioned a great video of Jeremy Clarkson driving one on Top Gear. I went to http://www.arielatom.com and there are a few videos there that are a blast to watch. The Top Gear one is there as well as one from 5th Gear.

Finally, the Saab performance drive team (a sponsor of Leno's site) has some new videos posted on http://www.saabusa.com/drive. (A link to the older, original Saab performance drive team video is here. The older guys were much better... )

Check them all out!
