How to Copy Jay Leno's Garage

Late-night talk show host, Jay Leno once worked in a garage. Today, he owns three of them. Jay packs his garages with a collection of over 50 cars and 50 motorcycles in both modern and vintage models. Here's how you can copy Jay Leno's envious menagerie of motor vehicles.

Instructions

    • 1

      Secure a lot of money. Whether you earn it or inherit it, you're obviously going to need a lot of cash to copy Jay's garage.

    • 2

      Store vehicles in the garage temporarily - not permanently. Jay drives each and every vehicle he owns. He takes a different one to work each day, which he parks in his private spot at NBC Studios.

    • 3

      Keep modern cars to a minimum. Jay doesn't own many modern cars in his garage; he mostly collects antique and classic models.

    • 4

      Hire mechanics for your garage. Jay employs two full-time mechanics to keep things running, although he also likes to tinker with his cars himself.

    • 5

      Think of your cars as your children. Jay loves all of his vehicles equally, and when asked to pick a favorite, he's replied, "Which one of your children is your favorite?"

      Be friendly to seniors who may be hiding prized cars in their garage. Jay purchased a car from one senior citizen's estate after he died, even though he had refused to show it to Jay when he was alive. The car turned out to be a rare 1927 Model X Duesenberg sedan, which had been parked in the garage since 1947. Jay advises, "Talk to the old guys. They like company."
