Default JAY LENO

A couple of weeks ago Jay Leno made a guest appearance at the Piston Power Show at the Cleveland IX Center. I took my mother who loves Jay. I think she religiously watched every episode of the Tonight Show when Jay hosted it. Anyhow, Jay also made his "Big Dog Garage Pick" of the show. He picked a beautiful 1966 2+2 Pontiac Catalina which I would have to agree was one of the nicest cars in the show.

Jay did not sit at a table and sign autographs. He actually walked around the IX Center with the spectators and mingled. He stopped and would talk to car owners who had their cars in the show, sign autographs and pose for pictures with fans. I was fortunate enough to have my Mom meet him, sign some stuff for her and pose for a photograph. Jay is such a casual guy he was eating a small pizza in a box when he met my Mom.

I briefly spoke to him and all I have to say is he is one Class Act Guy!! He was very nice and accommodating despite being bombarded with lots of fans wanting autographs and pictures. Plus he looked very tired. The west coast time change to the east cost here I think was effecting him. Plus I had heard that he was flown in earlier in the day and flew back home the same day on a corporate jet.

What a GREAT GUY!! Here are some pictures..

Went to two of his shows years ago. Great guy. At the Cleveland show he talked to and signed autographs the entire time he was at the show. No attitude either.

A real car guy.
