    "Just get a divorce, keep the manual shifter."
    Another great quote from Jay.

    If Jay or his staff read this- please do a JLG on Jay's 56 Chev El Morocco.
    Also a full episode on the Y2K Jet bike, Blastolene tank roadster, LCC rocket, and/or the pre-WW2 LeMans cars would be awesome. Jay has so many incredible cars and bikes,but these in particular have little online info on them, and I think a lot of people, like myself, would love Mr Leno's unique insight on these cars. Thanks

      @pointlessgimmickyusername9196 7 лет назад +1

      Are they on youtube? I can't find anything from JLG on the tank roadster (although I've clips from other shows, like MyClassicCarTV, on it). And the 2 minute clip on the Y2Kbike is cool, but I'd love to see a full episode on such an unusual bike.

    • @Rebar77_real

    Rally cars are a natural for Porsche, after Porsche built a lot of the German military vehicles in the Second World War and Porsche doesn't waste their expertise. Nice build by Patrick Long and the money went to a great cause. Thank you Jay, Patrick and Eli for this great video. The way things are going in North America, with the lack of road maintenance, all cars will have to built like this.

    Factory paint, stock engine and mostly bolt-on parts.
    Four months doesn't seem that tight of a schedule for that.

      crusherbmx Matt Farah recently drove a rally inspired 911 similar to this. I think it was for Drive but it may have been on The Smoking Tire. Either way it's a lot like this car except a burgundy color.

    • @austin5806
      @austin5806 7 лет назад +2

      I'm gonna say something unpopular but true. Trailing arm Porsches do not make good rally cars.
      Trailing arms have absolutely terrible bump steer. And this is a very bad thing for a rear engine rear drive car trying to go over jumps.
      Change the rear suspension design and all is well tho.

    2:18 "...and not worry about shifting." "It's just so easy. Just get a divorce. Keep the manual shift car." LOL! Exactly the right answer, Jay!
    Also, I had no idea Patrick Long had such an awesome, original idea for an air-cooled Porsche 911.

    Jay me and my friend used to make rally cars out of old Toyota Celica's back in our early 20's in the 1980's. We beat them to death on the logging roads here in Washington state. Loads of fun buy a car for $500 and run the hell out of it until it broke and do it all over again. Damn I need to go get another one

    @maynard4026 7 лет назад

    ive raced in the desert most of my life( California, Mexico and Nevada). We used a Porsche engine and transmission in our off road car for years.. They are bullet proof!! We could achieve about 18 inches of travel out of a Porsche trans axle. now days its a bit more exotic but some people are still competitive with the Porsche set up MORE OFF ROAD PLEASE. I'll bet Mr Leno. could get the Terrible Herbst to show one of there cars

  • @vikd4292

    I'm not sure if this is the best place to post this, but I couldn't find any other way to contact Jay Leno's Garage.
    There are a lot of interesting cars in the world and probably all of them deserve te be featured on this channel, but personally I have one request.
    If possible, it would be great if you guys could do a film on the Dodge Challenger that the late Brock Yates had built by Cotton Owens for some of the Cannonball coast-to-coast races in the 70's.
    Not only is this a great car with an interesting history, but you can also tell us more about Mr. Yates and those obscure races he organised.
    It's my understanding that his family still own the Challenger. Maybe you can work something out with them?
    Anyway... Love the channel. Probably my favourite on RUclips!

    Jay didn't post a video this Monday, so I decided to browse for an episode that I haven't watched. I noticed that the red line on the bottom on this video was only 1/5 across. Then I realized I tried to watch this three other times. I just can't get past Jay's two non-car-guy guests. The car is a bit ridiculous, but nothing compared to its "creator" and "owner" (who might be completely decent individuals). I tried to watch. Really I did. Ultimately I clicked near the end 19:17, to hear the Deusenberg horn so I could start my week.

      I didn't. Got some heat when I didn't even tell her about it. Just bought the car (Cayenne), parked it in front of the house and she didn't even notice when she came home. But she could tell by my face and said "WHAT did you do!?" as she walked in while my niece was cracking up. I never looked back, that was a great decision and the best car I've owned. Occasionally I hear (three years later) "well you bought an expensive car without telling me"... I just ignore it :-).

    I've never done much in the way of routine maintenance on that year Porsche 911, but...
    Do the skid plates interfere with oil changes? Would the oil draining clear the plates? If worse comes to worse, naturally the plates are removable

    I like this car! A sports car with an enhanced suspension and a tire aspect ratio tall enough to handle the crappy roads where I live... :)
