Most people know Jay Leno as the (again) host of NBC's Tonight Show and as being a stand-up comedian extraordinaire. What many people do not know about Mr. Leno is that he is an extremely passionate car guy.
Leno owns approximately 200 vehicles including 100 cars. He also maintains a very popular website called Jay Leno's Garage aka Big Dog Garage. As a standard piece of his website, Jay invites guests to appear and talk about their products and services.
Recently, a locally owned automotive gift business; The Busted Knuckle Garage, was invited to tape a couple of segments with Jay, hawk some of their products and of course take a tour of the collection.
Warren Tracy, owner of The Busted Knuckle Garage described Mr. Leno as a "real person and a real car guy". "It was obvious just how car crazy this guy is. Not only evidenced by his extensive collection but working knowledge of mechanics and the vehicles under restoration."
The Busted Knuckle Garage segments are tentatively scheduled for viewing on the site in early August. They will feature two of the most unique products for guys and their garage; a magnetic finger tool and a non-slip fender cover that holds tools and small parts in place while working under the hood.
