28 Heartwarming Photos of Jay Leno Just Joyriding in His Many, Many Cars

A salute to Jay Leno for not only building a legendary collection of over 180 cars, but driving them around town whenever he feels like it.

Are you tired of rich guys buying up all the cool cars, only to stash them away as investments? Join the club. OK, there isn’t actually a club (to my knowledge), but just know you aren’t alone. Jay Leno feels the same, which is why he actually drives his cars—and not just for YouTube.

It’s pretty well known that Leno keeps the vehicles in his expansive garage tagged, insured, and road-ready in case he ever feels like taking the Festiva Shogun out for milk, or maybe his 1918 Pierce Arrow for a trip to the post office. You can find clips of him casually driving million-dollar cars in the lamest LA traffic scenarios, but when you’re behind the wheel of a 95-year-old Bentley, what’s a little bit of congestion? In fact, it’s so common that there’s a deep well of paparazzi photos available on wire services showing Leno out for a spin in whatever machine he’s feeling that day.

These aren’t promo shots of Jay Leno’s Garage being filmed or anything; they’re just random spots, and that’s what makes them fun to see. Anyway, enjoy!
