I never fail to get a kick out of watching Jay Leno's Garage videos because of his wit and his zealous enthusiasm for all things automobile. Jay's latest video showcases his 2002 435 hp Z-06 Corvette.

In the video, Jay goes over some of the mods he has done to the car, such as replacing the potent LS6 with a lethal LS7 427 small block with 500 plus horsepower, the carbon fiber bits  (sounds like a great auto enthusiast cereal, but I digress), and the body kit.

Jay shares his views about the practicality of the Corvette as compared to other sports cars and also a few childhood stories about how the Corvette inspired him as a youth. As he reflects on his youthful escapades Jay takes a moment to confess about a teenage prank he pulled on his principal that consisted of a fake Corvette classified ad that...well, just watch the video.

One thing that rings true to all car enthusiasts is that driving is good therapy for the soul, and Jay shares his thoughts as he hammers the accelerator...priceless!

Be watching for his upcoming video on the ZR-1 when his order comes in so stay tuned!

We turned the MOTORFOOT search engine loose on YouTube for a while and well...

Let's just say searching YouTube is like digging for gold. You expend a lot time and energy only to end the day with a few nuggets. But like the prospector, what keeps you going is the thought that maybe tomorrow you will strike it rich.

Here are a couple of nuggets that are complete time wasters, but hey, can you really put a price on a smile?

I hope you enjoy.

 

Jay Leno, Auto enthusiast extraordinaire, cruised in style in his 1970 Challenger to pick up his new Dodge Challenger SRT8 at Big Valley Dodge.

He also brought along his film crew and captured the event for us.

 Adios Jay!

Ah, YouTube. Where you can watch the victory of success and the agony of defeat. You've seen "Insane Motorcycle Guy", now watch "In Pain Motorcycle Guy"! Moral of the story: Know thyself. Don't go beyond your skill level. Now I know you wouldn't laugh at someone else's expense, but maybe you can empathize...nah. De stress and have a chuckle, check out this short vid on youTube.

Check out the video of a sub 8 minute run in a stock Cadillac CTS-V at Nurburgring. The cockpit is eerily quite. I'm surprised there wasn't a guy in the back seat cutting a diamond.

Check out  "Jay Leno's Garage". If you haven't seen this site yet it is pretty cool. Jay's latest video is "Driving the Nissan GT-R". The video is informative and entertaining.

Maybe some day soon I can cancel my cable service (or cancel SPEED TV) and get my car enthusiast fix through cool sites like Jay's.
